MBA Admissions

I graduated from Columbia Business School after being admitted to multiple top 20 MBA programs and earning a full ride scholarship for both years. I’ve helped several applicants across the U.S. get into competitive programs by guiding them through every step of the process, including essays, resumes, interviews, and waitlist strategy. As both an MBA grad and a founder, I know how to help you tell a story that’s personal, compelling, and strategic. I believe the best MBA applications come from real self-awareness and clarity, not perfection. Whether you’re just starting your applications or polishing the final draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help you present your best story.
