I hold degrees from Harvard, MIT, Wharton, and Stanford—giving me firsthand experience navigating multiple highly selective MBA and graduate programs. As a Stanford GSB Sloan Fellow (MSx), Wharton MBA/Lauder MA graduate, former INSEAD exchange student, and London Business School admit, I don’t just understand elite admissions—I’ve done it repeatedly across U.S. and European systems. Today I’m an active entrepreneur, investor, and board member: co-founder of an AI-native digital health company operating in Mexico, partner at a real estate private equity firm, and founding partner of a venture firm. I’ve also guest lectured at Stanford School of Medicine and MIT. That means my coaching isn’t just about getting in—it’s about building a credible, compelling story that matches what top programs are actually trying to select: leaders who will execute and create impact after graduation. I work with both U.S. and international applicants (with deep experience advising Latin American candidates; I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese). My specialty is fit-first strategy: identifying the programs that best match your goals (not simply the highest-ranked), then translating your profile into a sharp positioning, essays that sound like you at your best, and confident interview performance. Whether you’re targeting an M7, a top European program, or a non-traditional path like MSx/Sloan Fellows or joint degrees, I’ll help you apply—and choose—wisely.

I just completed one of the most competitive MBA application cycles in history, earning admission to MIT Sloan (where I'll be attending), Columbia Business School, Kellogg, Booth, and Stern—with interviews at 6 of the 7 M7 schools I applied to. But what truly qualifies me as a coach isn't just my own success—it's my passion for teaching. I currently guest lecture at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and have spent years mentoring Accenture analysts, teaching underprivileged children in India, and leading pro-bono consulting projects. My family's legacy in education taught me that the best coaches don't just know the material; they genuinely care about their students' success. As a strategy consultant at Accenture for 4 years, I've honed the storytelling, analytical, and strategic thinking skills that make MBA applications successful. I've lived this process recently and intimately, tackling diverse essay formats and navigating competitive interview processes. I succeeded as a public university graduate breaking into M7 schools and understand how to position unique backgrounds as strengths. Whether you're a consultant looking to differentiate yourself, a public university grad aiming for M7, or someone with a mission-driven story to tell, I'll bring a data-driven, personalized approach to help you craft a winning narrative.

Welcome! I am currently an MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with highest honors from the Red McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. Professionally, I’ve worked across investment banking, private equity, and strategic finance, partnering with founders, corporate boards, and institutional investors to shape business narratives and navigate complex strategic decisions. I approach admissions the same way investors evaluate opportunities: through leadership, judgment, trajectory — and, most importantly, fit. The strongest applications show not only why you want a school, but why that specific school is positioned to accelerate your goals. I particularly enjoy working with applicants pursuing careers in business or finance, though I help candidates across backgrounds move beyond resume bullets and develop thoughtful, authentic stories about motivation and impact. My focus isn’t just essay polishing; it’s helping you articulate a narrative that explains your past, shows intentionality in the present, and convincingly points to your future — all while remaining true to who you are. I’d be excited to work together.

I am a great MBA coach because of the unique process and framework I developed and followed to obtain admission to multiple top 10 MBA programs. I come from a low-income first generation immigrant and college student background. I have experienced first hand what it's like to undergo the application process as an underdog by multiple measures and emerge victorious. I know how to navigate the common pitfalls and how to build a competitive application that punches above its weight. In addition, I have a passion for passing on the torch to the next generation and pulling folks up as I climb. In my free time I coach/mentor multiple students and professionals that share my background and have repeatedly heard from them that my advice, clear communication, and encouragement was instrumental in helping them achieve their academic and career goals. If you share my tenacious underdog mentality, know you deserve to be in a better place in life, and want someone to help you punch above your weight and navigate all the twists and turns, I am the coach for you!

Admitted to top 4 MBA programs (Stanford, HBS, Wharton and UChicago). I can help you craft an interesting story; you're much more worth than your GMAT score!
