MBA/MS Admissions Experts

I got into Wharton with a GMAT of 710 and TOEFL of 106, both well below the school's average. I also received scholarship and fellowship offers from NYU Stern and Michigan Ross. My test scores didn't define my application. What stood out was my unique story: diverse career pivots across functions and markets, a niche in entrepreneurship, design thinking, and EdTech, and a track record of doing things others thought impossible (like publishing two books before ever working in corporate). I leaned into what made me different, not what made me "the same best" as everyone else. That's the biggest mistake I see applicants make: trying to fit into what they think MBA programs want. But admissions committees aren't looking for the "best" candidate. They're looking for a diverse class of unique individuals. Your job isn't to be perfect. It's to be distinctly you. I pursued a dual degree, MBA and Master's in Education, at Penn because I'm genuinely passionate about empowering others. That same passion drives my coaching today. I also know what it feels like to work with big-name consultants who don't remember your story and give generic advice. My approach is different. I offer personalized support and help you uncover and articulate what makes you stand out. Whether you're an international student, a career changer, or still deciding if an MBA is the right path, I'm here to help you figure it out.

As a Columbia Business School MBA and Admissions Alumni Ambassador, I know exactly what M7 programs look for. Having navigated cross-border career pivots myself, I specialize in helping international and non-traditional candidates use authentic storytelling to build cohesive, standout applications.

With an MBA and MS in Design Innovation from the prestigious Kellogg School of Management, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and creative problem-solving to the table.

I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft standout applications that reflect their unique strengths and experiences. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA dreams a reality!
