MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA student at The Wharton School and a Master in Law candidate at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, I bring a unique blend of business and legal expertise to my coaching. Coming from a non-traditional background of public policy, I know how daunting it can be to apply to MBA programs. Prior to Wharton, I spent 5 years at the American Financial Services Association, where I advised consumer lending companies on state legislative and regulatory issues. I am also a disability inclusion advocate, serving on the board of a nonprofit called Full Spectrum Agency for Autistic adults. I am also the President of Wharton's Disability Empowerment & Action League. Before becoming a Leland coach, I have coached prospective students, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process. I am especially excited to work with applicants from non-traditional backgrounds or who are passionate about disability. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your strengths and sets you apart. Reach out to start your journey to an elite MBA program!

I am a member of the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants (AIGAC), the most elite organization for admissions consultants. It has fewer than 200 members worldwide. I was admitted based on my track record over the years of helping clients obtain admissions to Harvard, Stanford, MIT, UPenn, Duke, Columbia, among other elite schools.

As a graduate of the Full-Time MBA program at the Johnson School at Cornell combined with 5+ years of experience coaching full-time MBA students on career goals and the recruiting processes, my approach to MBA admissions is a little different. Many enter with the goal "I want to get into school X." I prefer to zoom out and ask two simple questions: - What are your short-term MBA career goals? - What type of experience do you want for the duration of the two-year program? Answering these questions honestly will help you better develop a target school list and be able to better articulate in your essays and in the admissions interview why an MBA makes sense for you, ,why that school is the best fit, and what your short and long term career goals are post MBA. There's a lot more to getting a Full-Time MBA than going to the highest ranked school you can get into, because those rankings don't take into account your personal goals and preferences.

With an MBA from MIT Sloan, an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School, and a BA from Harvard, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table on applying strategically and successfully to some of the most competitive academic programs in the world -- and securing scholarships. I was humbled and grateful to be awarded a Dean's Fellowship (50K/year, 5% of class) to MIT, and a full-tuition Presidential Scholarship (full tuition, 1.5% of class) to HKS, both without additional applications. I understand what it takes to stand out in competitive environments and have successfully helped over a dozen clients in their MBA applications.
