Deferred MBA Admissions Experts

My applicants have been admitted to schools including GSB, HBS, Wharton, Sloan, Kellogg, Ross, Cornell, Booth, Haas, Columbia, & Rice. Across first-time applicants, reapplicants, and deferred applicants, they have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. Aside from my experience coaching MBA candidates, I have spent my post-GSB time consulting for founders, early-stage startups, and investors across for-profit and non-profit spaces globally. This has allowed me to uniquely guide current or aspiring entrepreneurs and investors throughout the application process and, for numerous clients, beyond as I’ve continued to be a resource helping to navigate questions regarding financial aid, maximizing the MBA experience, internships, and post-MBA careers. The application process is not easy and for most, including myself when I applied, it’s straight up stressful. I work closely with a limited number of clients, creating bespoke coaching experiences for each, building trust and bringing clarity to an opaque process. I believe this approach has helped my applicants be successful. Whether you’re coming from a traditional background or not, regardless of your test scores or application ‘gaps,’ if you’re interested in showing the best version of you possible and having someone fully on your team along the way please reach out.

Welcome to my profile! As a Stanford alum with a BA in Economics and a minor in Data Science, I bring a strong analytical background to my coaching. My professional journey includes roles at Goldman Sachs in Investment Banking and currently as a Private Equity Associate at New Mountain Capital. I have a deep understanding of the finance industry. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Let's work together to make your MBA application stand out.

I earned my MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and was actively involved in the school’s administrative committee, working closely with program leadership and the broader MBA community. This gave me a deep, insider understanding of MBA programs—not just from a student’s perspective, but from how admissions, academics, and student outcomes are evaluated and shaped. I focus on helping applicants clearly articulate their story, professional trajectory, and goals in a way that aligns with how admissions committees assess fit and impact.

I built a standout business school application by owning my story instead of trying to fit a template. I learned how to pair real leadership experiences with my core values to create a narrative that felt both authentic and compelling. That approach helped me earn admission to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Kellogg - including multiple merit scholarship offers. I now help applicants clarify what makes their journey unique and translate it into a focused, confident application story. You should work with me because I have lived both sides of the admissions process. I was rejected when I applied to deferred enrollment in college, and that experience pushed me to develop a smarter, more intentional strategy when I reapplied six years later. I know the sting of “no,” and I also know what it takes to turn that into a resounding “yes.” My goal is to help you avoid the mistakes I made and present the strongest, most authentic version of your story to top programs.

With first-hand, diverse industry experience, I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications that highlight their spike factors and experiences. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams and career goals a reality! Feel free to reach out for personalized guidance on your application journey.
