I applied to a broad range of top programs and was admitted to every school I applied to (4 M7 and 10 T15), despite having a sub-par undergraduate GPA and a non-traditional background. Now, I’ve been on both sides of the process. Most recently, I served on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, where I reviewed 100s of applications, interviewed candidates, and saw firsthand how this are evaluated internally (NOTE: It’s a far more structured and methodical process than most applicants realize!) I work selectively with motivated applicants who want honest, direct feedback and a clear strategy from someone who has navigated the process successfully and understands how decisions are actually made.

I pursued my MBA at Northwestern later in my startup career, which gave me a completely different lens on the decision. I have been in the position of deciding whether to enroll in an MBA or defer. I have experience managing professional responsibilities alongside schoolwork, and can help you think through whether it's the right move, the right time, and if the ROI is actually worth it.

I've spent a decade at three of the world's most competitive companies — Meta, Apple, and JPMorgan Chase — doing one thing exceptionally well: turning complex, messy human stories into clear, compelling narratives that move people to act. That's not just my job. It's my superpower. And it's exactly what great MBA essays require. I was selected for JPMorgan Chase's Senior Associate Development Program — a leadership initiative recognizing the top 2% of nominees firm-wide — and have been recognized as a top 1% mentor on the ADP List platform for expertise in research and career development. I've formally mentored junior researchers, led A/B testing workshops for 200+ employees, and built research frameworks that doubled team throughput. I know what it takes to perform at the highest level — and how to help others get there. I also just lived the application process myself. As an incoming Columbia EMBA student, I know exactly what today's top programs are looking for — and more importantly, what makes an application stand out in a highly competitive pool. I didn't have a linear, easy-to-package story. I had to work for my narrative. That's what makes me a better coach: I've done the hard work of turning a decade of zigzag experience into something undeniable, and I can help you do the same.
