Through my own experiences and helping others with theirs, I've learned tactics that can help you identify the right school for you and craft your story as you apply and interview for business schools!

As a recent graduate of UC Berkeley's MBA/MPH program, I’m passionate about helping others achieve their personal and professional aspirations. During my time at Haas, I gained unique insights into the MBA admissions process as an official student ambassador interacting with hundreds of applicants. I also worked in the career center, where I reviewed dozens of resumes and cover letters and led mock interviews for roles in healthcare, tech, and consulting. As a public speaking coach, I supported 25 students, including non-native English speakers, in building confidence and communication skills. When I applied to MBA programs, I worried that my non-linear career path and undergraduate grades would hold me back. By crafting and executing upon a clear application strategy, I earned scholarships to multiple T15 schools, including my dream program. I understand the challenges of navigating this process and want to help you present your best self to admissions committees. Let’s work together to make your MBA goals a reality!

I was admitted to the Stanford GSB and HBS Class of 2027. I did it without using any flashy admissions consultant. I also landed interviews at Wharton (Lauder) and MIT Sloan. Here's how I can add value to you: - Helping structure the process end-to-end for you, with weekly and monthly targets. Applications are a marathon and can't be done last minute. I left no stone unturned when I applied (research, networking, introspecting, iterating) and will ensure you don't either. - Brainstorming on school selection, your goals, and finding the stories that will shine through in your essays. - Crafting compelling essays, especially for Stanford, MIT, Wharton-Lauder and HBS. - Ensuring you get great letters of recommendation that complement your application. - Wordsmithing and perfecting your activities, extracurriculars, CV, and all the other bits. - Interview practice and tips. P.S. I applied with my Partner, who was admitted to Stanford GSB and MIT Sloan (50% scholarship). We're happy to provide couples with guidance.

As a graduate from top MBA program UCLA Anderson, I know what it takes to put together a successful application for MBA programs. I understand the entire process understanding the hardship and struggles it takes. As a coach, I provide end to end support for the entire process, building my clients confidence throughout the process so that they start their MBA program feeling ready. I'm particularly skilled at helping others craft, embrace, and communicate their story ensuring that all written deliverables of an MBA application come together to make my clients stand out. Since my launch I've helped clients get admitted to their dream programs (with scholarship offers), including top MBA programs like Haas, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Anderson, INSEAD, and Marshall. More importantly than helping my clients get admitted, I've provided my clients the support they needed for this major step, with my clients all expressing gratitude for the confidence they feel in their own abilities.

I am 1/30 deferred admits to the Stanford MBA class of 2028. I applied as a senior in college, and have not only coached many peers on their own MBA admissions process, but I've frequently hosted events with Stanford MBA students in New York City. I have also served on the scholarship admissions counsel at USC, where I attended as a full-tuition merit scholar, as well as a campus recruiting lead for McKinsey & Company while I was a Business Analyst there. My specialty lies in authentic storytelling, and I excel at coaching students on how to write their personal statement, resume, application strategy for recommendation letters, and any other supplementary essays/materials. I use personality science and behavioral health best practices to help my students thoroughly enjoy the process of applying, and also utilize AI to design custom training plans and educational resources for the more mechanical parts of the application process, including test taking. I'm excited to work with more students, especially those who are looking for guidance on how to sell their story!

I have completed my MBA at Stanford and an MPA at the Harvard Kennedy School, and I was a Recruiting Director for BCG Boston's Empower program - a recruiting program focusing on Black and Latinx MBA candidates. I have a lot of experience supporting individuals with non-traditional backgrounds who are considering an MBA or a career in consulting. I have also supported a lot of candidates from Latin America, and coming from minority backgrounds. Since 2017, I have advised 10+ individuals applying to top MBA programs. For example, during my time at BCG, I have helped associates applying to top schools, deciding whether to pursue a dual-degree, choosing schools etc. I have also supported members of other networks who were interested in applying, especially from Latin America. Some of my coachees have been admitted to top schools, such as Stanford, MIT, HBS, Wharton and others.

I'm great at helping you convey your stories with clarity, and getting your word count down to your essay's limit with flair. I've helped several folks get into M7 and beyond programs by helping them tie their experiences to their business school goals.
