I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. In addition to sitting on both Stanford's and Northwestern's alumni admissions councils, I was an interviewer at Google and Facebook, so I've spent many hours "on the other side of the table" and can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by interviewers and admissions committees. I enjoy coaching people from a huge range of backgrounds, but I specialize in coaching folks from lower-income families, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from unconventional backgrounds trying to thrive in tech.

As a former Dartmouth Tuck MBA admissions interviewer, I interviewed over 50 applicants and have helped dozens of folks prep for & ace MBA interviews. I'm passionate about helping your story shine through in an authentic way, while also helping you present yourself in a way that is aligned to what MBA programs are looking for. I am also an experienced communications / public speaking coach, and I bring this expertise to help you prep for MBA interviews.

INSEAD alumnus and MBA admissions coach with firsthand experience navigating the application process independently, including admission to INSEAD. I support candidates across profiles: from early-career to experienced professionals, with a focus on positioning, storytelling, and school selection (US vs. Europe vs. Asia), including a clear ROI perspective on different programs. I also work with applicants managing lower GMAT scores, helping them strengthen overall profiles and application strategy.

Experienced storyteller who loves helping people express their identities and goals through writing. I see an MBA application is more than a set of materials to get you into a competitive program--it's an opportunity to reflect on your life experiences and develop a vision for the rest of your life. I decided to apply to deferred MBA programs just over two months before the Stanford GSB applications were due, helping other friends with their applications along the way. Together, we'll build a plan to make sure you spend time needed to put together a great MBA application and stay accountable to your goals. I'll make the process efficient, enjoyable, and transformative.

M7 Admissions Experience: I spent 11 years leading admissions for the Part-Time MBA Program at Kellogg School of Management. During that time, I recruited, interviewed, and evaluated MBA candidates, counseled prospective students and reapplicants, and helped build four incoming cohorts each year. My Kellogg experience gives me a perspective on MBA applications that goes beyond essays and application mechanics. I understand how an admissions professional looks at the whole candidate - from professional progression and accomplishments to career goals, communication, and program fit. I also understand the questions or concerns that may emerge when all the pieces are considered together. Part of my role as a coach is to ask the questions an applicant may not have considered, and help determine what will strengthen the overall candidacy. Today, applicants have access to more information and tools than ever before. I encourage clients to use good resources thoughtfully. I bring something complementary: years of experience evaluating real MBA candidates and the judgment that comes from seeing how individual choices contribute to the overall impression an applicant makes. My goal is not to create an application for you. It is to help you make informed choices and present the strongest, most authentic version of your candidacy.

Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.
