MPP/MBA Admissions Experts

As an MBA graduate at The Wharton School and an MA graduate at The Lauder Institute, I bring a unique blend of business acumen and international perspective to my coaching. I targeted joint degree programs in International Relations/Public Policy and was also admitted to Columbia MBA/SIPA, Yale MBA/SIPA, Harvard Kennedy School, and LSE. My professional journey includes international and impact-focused roles such as an MBA Strategy Intern at Brazilian climate-tech Courageous Land, an Investment Associate with Wharton Impact Investing Partners, and a Summer Associate at Arborview Capital, all of which have honed my strategic and analytical skills. I successfully completed the transition to impact investing through grad school and am now at JPMorgan Chase on the Impact Finance team. With experience in emerging markets sales and trading at Jefferies, I have a deep understanding of the competitive landscape and what it takes to succeed. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA students navigate the admissions process and achieve their educational goals. Let's connect and craft a winning application strategy together!

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.

I know what it takes to win a seat at a top MBA program as a non-traditional applicant — because I did it. I earned my MBA at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth after a career as a physician, with a Yale MPH along the way. I understand exactly how admissions committees read an application: how to turn an unconventional background into a standout story, how to make essays authentic and differentiated instead of generic, how to choose schools strategically, and how to prep your recommenders and nail the interview. I later became a Vice President in Healthcare Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs and served on recruiting teams that evaluated scores of candidates; so, I know what excellence looks like on paper and in the room, and I bring that same discerning eye to your candidacy. I work especially well with healthcare and non-traditional applicants (including MD/MBA and other dual-degree paths), though I coach applicants from every background. Expect direct, structured, high-signal feedback and a clear plan: candidacy assessment, school strategy, résumé, essays through multiple rounds, recommender strategy, and interview prep. My goal is simple: to help you present the most compelling, authentic version of your story, and get in.
