As a Senior Admissions Consultant at California Ivy Admissions Consultants, I've successfully guided clients into top-tier programs at Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Dartmouth, Duke, Yale, UCLA, USC, Cornell and more. My experience on the admissions committee at UCLA has equipped me with insider knowledge of what top programs seek in candidates. With a Juris Doctor from UC Berkeley School of Law and a Master of Arts from UCLA, I bring a unique blend of expertise to the MBA admissions process. Whether you need help with application strategy, essays, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you craft a compelling application. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

I coach applicants through every stage of the MBA admissions process, from school selection and application strategy to essays, resumes, interviews, and overall positioning. As a Columbia Business School MBA graduate and MBA Admissions Ambassador, I've helped prospective students understand what top business schools look for through admissions events, information sessions, and one-on-one mentoring. I've also coached applicants through Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), mentored veteran MBA candidates, and led multiple MBA admissions briefings. To date, I have coached over 50 MBA applicants from a wide range of professional backgrounds. While I specialize in working with military veterans, I have successfully coached candidates from consulting, finance, technology, healthcare, nonprofits, entrepreneurship, and other industries. I help applicants identify what makes their story unique, articulate their leadership impact, and build applications that are authentic, compelling, and competitive. Whether you're applying to an M7 program or another top MBA program, my goal is to help you maximize your chances of admission by developing a clear strategy and presenting the strongest version of your story.

I believe that business school can shape your career. Harvard Business School certainly shaped mine.

I applied to every top MBA program in the country without a consultant and got into all five: Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Booth, and MIT Sloan. Merit scholarships from each. Multiple full rides. GRE: 99th percentile after four weeks of prep. Five for five. I was admitted as one of the youngest members of the Stanford GSB Class of 2027. I hold multiple campus leadership roles, and outside of Stanford I serve as an Appointed Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom. Previously, I was an executive at a YCombinator-backed AI startup and the founding analyst of Accenture Strategy's Private Equity practice. My partner and co-coach is a JD/MBA at Wharton/Penn and a former McKinsey consultant. My own path to business school was anything but linear. I had a mix of experiences across tech, consulting, startups, and government, and I know what it takes to turn a complex background into a story admissions committees fight over. I've coached 15+ students on MBA admissions and career coaching, and am a multiple fellowship-winning writer, so I work with you hands-on from narrative strategy through final essay polish. I specialize in: - Applicants with non-traditional or complex backgrounds - Career switchers (tech to finance, consulting to startups, etc.) - International applicants targeting M7 programs - Deferred enrollment programs (HBS 2+2, Stanford deferred, etc.) - Scholarship and financial aid strategy and negotiation - Essay writing, editing, and narrative positioning - Full-cycle application management (school selection through interview prep) - GRE/GMAT test strategy and planning - Re-applicant strategy and repositioning - Interview preparation for MBA admissions Additionally, I can help with: - Post-MBA career strategy (tech, consulting, startups, PE/VC) - Consulting recruiting and case interview prep - Resume and LinkedIn optimization - Career and professional mentorship

Many candidates applying to INSEAD, London Business School, Oxford and Cambridge are doing so with one clear goal: to move into consulting. Yet that is also where many applications quietly become generic. Admissions committees have read thousands of versions of: “I want to transition into strategy consulting.” They can tell very quickly whether you genuinely understand the career you are describing, whether the goal makes sense given your background, and whether your story is credible. I bring a perspective that most admissions coaches cannot. As a Bain manager and interviewer, I spent years evaluating candidates and deciding who was ready to join the firm. Today, as an INSEAD alumni interviewer, I sit on the admissions side of that same journey. That means I can help you with two things in particular. First, I can tell you how your career goal sounds to someone who has actually hired for that role — and help you make it specific, credible and commercially grounded. Second, I can prepare you for the school interview from the perspective of someone who actually conducts these interviews. Around that, we do the core admissions work properly: building the right school shortlist, sharpening your CV, developing essays that tell one coherent story rather than five disconnected ones, and giving you an honest assessment of where you stand before you spend weeks writing applications.
