With an MD/MBA from USC Marshall School of Business and extensive experience in strategic roles at top firms like McKinsey & Company and Accenture, I bring a unique blend of healthcare and business acumen to MBA coaching. My background includes serving on admissions committees, providing me with insider knowledge of what top programs seek in candidates. I've guided numerous clients through the MBA application process, helping them craft compelling narratives and strategic applications that stand out. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA goals. Let's connect and start your journey to success!

Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School and a former Senior Consultant at Deloitte, I bring firsthand business experience and academic insight to my coaching. My time at Deloitte honed my strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, which I now leverage to help aspiring MBA students craft compelling applications. I specialize in guiding clients through the entire application process, from developing a strong narrative to perfecting essays and preparing for interviews. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey!

Currently pursuing an MBA from London Business School and a background spanning Deloitte Consulting, licensed CPA, luxury marketing, and early-stage tech, I bring a unique blend of strategic insight and creative problem-solving to MBA coaching. My journey includes a successful transition from audit to consulting at Deloitte, where I led strategic projects and collaborated with global leaders to drive significant business transformations. I was accepted into the highly selective Deloitte MBA Sponsorship Program after pitching a business case and fielding questions from 10 partners, an experience that sharpened my ability to communicate with clarity and impact under pressure. Despite having non-competitive GMAT/GRE scores, I secured offers from London Business School, UCLA Anderson, and INSEAD through a well-crafted application strategy, compelling essays, and a strong CV, exactly the areas I now coach others to master. Professionally, I’ve led global transformation projects at Deloitte, designed new operating models for Fortune 500s, and more recently, pivoted into luxury marketing roles at Santoni and MartyAI, where I now lead digital strategy and customer insights initiatives. Across roles, I've demonstrated an ability to articulate value, pivot with purpose, and deliver results, skills I help my clients harness in their MBA applications. Whether you’re a consultant aiming for M7, a career switcher seeking clarity, or a non-traditional applicant building your narrative from scratch, I’ll help you tell your story with confidence and get results. Let's connect and make your aspirations a reality!

I earned my MBA at UCLA Anderson as a Greg Bolin Fellow and used it to make a hard pivot, from product management into Technology Investment Banking at Bank of America. That’s the story every MBA applicant has to tell: where you’ve been, where you’re going, and why business school is the bridge. I’ve coached 15+ GMAT and MBA applicants, and I specialize in making that story clear and believable to an admissions committee. We start with a profile evaluation and a school list balanced across reach, target and safer programs. Then we build your core story and carry it through your resume, essays, recommender briefs and interview prep. I check in daily or weekly so deadlines never sneak up on you. I work especially well with international applicants new to U.S. admissions, professionals applying while working demanding jobs, and anyone targeting tech/PM or finance/IB after the MBA. And with a 770 GMAT, I can coach your test prep and your applications in one place. If you put in the work, I’ll match it.

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 earned my MBA from MIT Sloan with a concentration in Healthcare Operations. I was also admitted to UCLA Anderson, Darden, and Yale SOM, so I know how different programs read an application and what makes a candidate stand out at each. I applied while working full time as a consultant at Bates White Economic Consulting, where I spent seven years building damages models for litigation. Since Sloan, I have worked as a Technical Product Manager at Capital One and now as a healthcare economist supporting expert witness work with EconOne. I can help you connect your experience to a clear post-MBA goal, whether that is consulting, product, healthcare, or something else. I have taken the GMAT, GRE, LSAT, ACT, and SAT, and I can help with test strategy, school selection, essays, resumes, and interview prep. My style is practical and direct. I break big problems into small parts and work up from there. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling (40 countries), running, biking, reading world literature, and photography.

I went through the Executive MBA journey at UCLA Anderson School of Management as a partial scholarship recipient—balancing career, leadership, and real life—and I now help others navigate that same path with more clarity and intention. I work with professionals at every stage of the MBA journey: deciding if it’s the right move, crafting a compelling application story, and leveraging the MBA for real career acceleration afterward. My coaching helps you: Make a clear, confident MBA decision (no overthinking or guesswork) Build a strong, authentic application narrative that stands out Uncover what you are really looking for out of getting a MBA Position your experience and story for top programs Turn your MBA into real momentum in your career—not just a credential

I’ve worked with operators, investors, and founders across different stages of their careers, including many who have used an MBA to pivot, accelerate, or reposition themselves. I completed my MBA at UC Berkeley, and more importantly, I’ve seen how the degree actually plays out in the real world. In my career across private equity, venture building, and now advising founder-led businesses, I’ve seen what the MBA unlocks and where it falls short if not approached intentionally. Getting into a program is only part of the equation. The real value comes from how you position your story, choose the right program, and use the experience to create opportunities on the other side. I work with candidates on both admission strategy and how to think beyond it, so you are not just getting in, but setting yourself up for the outcomes you actually want after graduation.

With extensive experience in career coaching and professional development, I have a proven track record of helping MBA students and professionals achieve their career goals. As a former Associate Director and MBA Career Coach at North Carolina State University, I provided personalized coaching and workshops, achieving a 98%+ satisfaction rate and significantly increasing student participation in national conferences, leading to successful placements at top companies like Amazon and Wells Fargo. My background also includes serving on the admissions committee, where I evaluated candidates for the Full-Time MBA program. At Kindred Compass Coaching, I continue to guide individuals through career pivots and interview strategies, ensuring increased job offers in under four weeks. Let's work together to craft a compelling MBA application and career strategy that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. I have experience working with students from undergraduate to executive MBAs.
