JD/MBA Admissions Consultants

Perhaps surprisingly, I do not believe most folks should get an MBA. My particular passion with MBA counseling is talking through if an MBA (or other degrees) makes sense given your goals. The MBA is a large investment with an increasingly uncertain return. I was fortunate that my MBA paid off - I got the career pivot I was looking for - but in many cases I recommend another path to folks. Let's chat to see if an MBA makes sense for you, and if so, which programs you should target. With a rich educational background from Georgetown University and a dual JD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton, I bring a unique blend of legal and business acumen to my coaching. My professional journey includes impactful roles at McKinsey & Company, where I was interviewer trained and helped applicants navigate the rigorous interview process, and leadership positions at Goosehead Insurance (mid-market public company) and various startups. I have coached numerous clients, leveraging my experience in strategy, operations, and transformation to guide them through the MBA application process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. I find my biggest value add to be dispelling the myths and rumors you may have encountered on forums like Reddit or in talking with other folks who have not been throught the process in recent years. In my experience, the Internet has a lot of half truths, so I am eager to clarify any thoughts or concerns you may have. I firmly believe I was able to get into Penn's JD/MBA program because of my ability to create a compelling narrative. Beyond a good score and GPA, it really all boils down to a compelling personal statement. This is where I shine - let me help you with this and more. Whether you're looking to refine your personal statement, prepare for interviews, or strategize your application, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

I've spent the last 16+ years helping ambitious applicants get into the world's most competitive MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, and Booth. Across 200+ MBA clients, 95% have been admitted to at least one of their top-choice programs, and over half have received scholarship money. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, where I focused on Strategy and Entrepreneurship. That gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what M7 adcoms are actually looking for. My career in this work started in Singapore, at a test prep and admissions firm I helped expand into Shanghai, running tutoring and admissions consulting in both markets before coming back to New York to found my own practice. That international background means I'm equally comfortable working with US candidates and applicants from Asia, Europe, and beyond, particularly the kinds of candidates who often have the strongest stories but the hardest time articulating them: finance professionals reinventing themselves, engineers making a pivot, non-traditional career switchers. My work focuses on coherence. Most applicants arrive with strong but scattered material: a real career, real accomplishments, but no through-line. My job is to help you find the narrative that ties it all together, build a school list that's strategic (not aspirational), and turn essays into the strongest part of your application instead of the most stressful. If you want a structured, results-focused partner, let's talk.

I know how overwhelming the graduate school process can feel — because I've spent years on the inside watching talented people struggle to tell their story in a way that truly lands. Having worked in admissions at Georgetown University, the University of Cincinnati, and George Washington University, I've sat across from hundreds of applicants and reviewed thousands of applications. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what committees are genuinely looking for, and more importantly, how to help you present your best self with confidence. My goal has always been to make this process feel less intimidating and more empowering for each student I meet with What drives me is seeing people get into programs they once thought were out of reach. As a current MBA student myself, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be on your side of the process — the self-doubt, the late nights, the endless second-guessing. I've helped students navigate tight deadlines, sharpen their personal statements, and build strategies that resulted in students enrolling in their dream programs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all advice, because your story is unique and deserves to be told that way. When you work with me, you're getting someone who genuinely cares about where you're headed and will be with you every step of the way.

Navigating the intersection of law and business requires a specific narrative. As a JD/MBA graduate from the University of Pennsylvania and a former Associate at Skadden, I understand the rigor—and the rewards—of the dual-degree path. I don't just help you apply; I help you articulate a cohesive vision that resonates with both admissions committees. From crafting a "dual-language" personal statement to identifying the professional ROI of the joint degree, I provide the tactical roadmap needed to secure a seat at a top-tier program. Whether you are aiming for a M7 MBA or a T14 Law School—or both—I provide the specialized coaching to ensure your profile stands out in a crowded field.
