One-Year MBA Admissions Consultants

I have spent nearly a decade working in MBA admissions, first as a member of the admissions committee at Emory University's Goizueta Business School and subsequently as an independent admissions coach. My AdCom experience gave me direct insight into how applications are evaluated, what makes a candidate compelling, and what causes even strong applicants to be passed over. That perspective informs every aspect of my coaching. As a Graduate Admissions Coach, I have worked with clients from the U.S. and abroad, guiding them through every stage of the MBA application process. My clients have earned admission to programs at Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, UPenn, Georgetown, UCLA, NYU, USC, Tuck, Boston University, Imperial College London, the University of Toronto, and many more.

Currently pursuing an MBA from London Business School and a background spanning Deloitte Consulting, licensed CPA, luxury marketing, and early-stage tech, I bring a unique blend of strategic insight and creative problem-solving to MBA coaching. My journey includes a successful transition from audit to consulting at Deloitte, where I led strategic projects and collaborated with global leaders to drive significant business transformations. I was accepted into the highly selective Deloitte MBA Sponsorship Program after pitching a business case and fielding questions from 10 partners, an experience that sharpened my ability to communicate with clarity and impact under pressure. Despite having non-competitive GMAT/GRE scores, I secured offers from London Business School, UCLA Anderson, and INSEAD through a well-crafted application strategy, compelling essays, and a strong CV, exactly the areas I now coach others to master. Professionally, I’ve led global transformation projects at Deloitte, designed new operating models for Fortune 500s, and more recently, pivoted into luxury marketing roles at Santoni and MartyAI, where I now lead digital strategy and customer insights initiatives. Across roles, I've demonstrated an ability to articulate value, pivot with purpose, and deliver results, skills I help my clients harness in their MBA applications. Whether you’re a consultant aiming for M7, a career switcher seeking clarity, or a non-traditional applicant building your narrative from scratch, I’ll help you tell your story with confidence and get results. Let's connect and make your aspirations a reality!

I grew up across five U.S. cities and spent years living on four continents, so “Where are you from?” rarely has a tidy answer. But why I move is simple: to help people become the best version of themselves. For me, that impact starts with food. My personal mission is to make healthy meals exciting, accessible, and affordable. That mission led me to build a hydroponic farm in my apartment, donate 20K lbs of food to furloughed service workers during COVID, and start a kombucha company in China. That clarity of vision led me to become the first person ever admitted to Stanford GSB and the Schwarzman Scholars program in the same application cycle. As your coach, I’ll give you the clarity that took me years to gain. Together we’ll sharpen your mission, ground it in your experiences, and craft a story that connects every dot. The result? An application that admissions teams can’t overlook. Just ask the people I've previously worked with who were accepted into Stanford GSB, Schwarzman, Harvard, Wharton, and beyond.

I earned my MBA at the USC Marshall School of Business, where I served as Vice President of the Veterans Association and the Tech Association. That experience gave me a front-row seat to how MBA programs work, what admissions committees look for, and how students can make the most of their time in business school. My own MBA propelled me into roles at Salesforce and later into a Chief of Staff position at Zoom—proof of how powerful the right MBA path can be. Now, I help others create the same kind of transformation. When we work together, I’ll help you: * Clarify your career goals and position your MBA as the bridge to get there * Craft a compelling, authentic application strategy that highlights your unique story * Navigate essays, resumes, and recommendations with insider guidance * Build confidence through interview prep and communication coaching * Understand how to leverage your MBA once admitted, to open doors like I did Whether you’re just starting your MBA journey or fine-tuning your final application, I’ll partner with you to make your candidacy stand out and maximize your chances of admission.

I hold degrees from Harvard, MIT, Wharton, and Stanford—giving me firsthand experience navigating multiple highly selective MBA and graduate programs. As a Stanford GSB Sloan Fellow (MSx), Wharton MBA/Lauder MA graduate, former INSEAD exchange student, and London Business School admit, I don’t just understand elite admissions—I’ve done it repeatedly across U.S. and European systems. Today I’m an active entrepreneur, investor, and board member: co-founder of an AI-native digital health company operating in Mexico, partner at a real estate private equity firm, and founding partner of a venture firm. I’ve also guest lectured at Stanford School of Medicine and MIT. That means my coaching isn’t just about getting in—it’s about building a credible, compelling story that matches what top programs are actually trying to select: leaders who will execute and create impact after graduation. I work with both U.S. and international applicants (with deep experience advising Latin American candidates; I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese). My specialty is fit-first strategy: identifying the programs that best match your goals (not simply the highest-ranked), then translating your profile into a sharp positioning, essays that sound like you at your best, and confident interview performance. Whether you’re targeting an M7, a top European program, or a non-traditional path like MSx/Sloan Fellows or joint degrees, I’ll help you apply—and choose—wisely.
