As a Lead Product Manager at Amazon, I have honed my skills in product strategy, compliance, and risk management, which I leverage to guide clients through the complexities of MBA applications. My background in finance and product development, combined with my experience at top firms like Thomson Reuters and Skye Bank, equips me to provide strategic insights and personalized coaching. Whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA dreams a reality!

Business school has the potential to change the trajectory of your life. I know because it changed mine. As a first-generation college graduate who grew up in public housing, I learned early that talent alone isn't enough. Opportunities often come to those who can clearly communicate their potential, connect seemingly unrelated experiences into a compelling narrative, and articulate a vision for the future. That's exactly what admissions committees are looking for. My career has taken me from structured finance at Wells Fargo Securities to distressed investing at Lone Star Funds, real estate development at Trammell Crow Company, affordable housing and community development, entrepreneurship as the founder of Meridian Advisory, and public policy through my Executive Master's studies at the London School of Economics. I also serve as Director of Financial Wellbeing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and teach Real Estate Capital Markets as an adjunct instructor at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School. Those experiences have shown me that the strongest applications aren't built around impressive resumes. They're built around authentic stories with a clear sense of purpose. As your coach, I'll help you identify what makes your journey distinctive, refine your leadership narrative, and present your experiences with clarity and confidence. Whether we're working on school selection, essays, resumes, interviews, or overall application strategy, my goal is to ensure your application reflects your highest potential, not what you think an admissions committee wants to hear. I work especially well with applicants who have complex or unconventional backgrounds, including first-generation students, career pivoters, finance and real estate professionals, public sector leaders, entrepreneurs, military veterans, and applicants seeking to connect technical expertise with a compelling leadership story. My coaching style is thoughtful, candid, and collaborative. I'll challenge your assumptions, ask difficult questions, and help you uncover the themes that connect your experiences into a narrative that is both authentic and memorable. Admissions committees aren't simply evaluating where you've been. They're investing in where you're going. My role is to help you tell that story in a way that reflects who you are and the impact you aspire to make.

As a Kellogg MBA graduate and former Bain Consultant, I bring a wealth of experience in strategic management and operations to my coaching. My journey through top-tier companies like Bain and Walmart has equipped me with the insights and skills necessary to guide you through the MBA admissions process. I've helped numerous clients refine their application strategies, craft compelling essays, and prepare for interviews, ensuring they present their best selves to admissions committees. Whether you're looking to enhance your application or need guidance on navigating the competitive landscape of MBA admissions, I'm here to help. Let's connect and chart a path to your dream business school!

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.

I hold an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I experienced both the transformative power of the programme and the rigour of the admissions process. Since graduating, I built a decade-long track record in senior leadership at Amazon, Uber, Sylvera, and Morgan Stanley — giving me genuine insight into the career trajectories, pivots, and challenges that MBA applicants and graduates navigate. Today I work as a Leadership Consultant and Executive Coach, with advanced training in organisational psychology from the NHS Tavistock Clinic and direct coaching experience guiding senior leaders and MBA students through INSEAD's flagship Personal Leadership Development Programme. I bring both the strategic rigour of a top business school education and the psychological depth to help you clarify your story, sharpen your positioning, and unlock what makes you genuinely distinctive — whether you're crafting your application or plotting your next career move.

Welcome! I am currently an MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with highest honors from the Red McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. Professionally, I’ve worked across investment banking, private equity, and strategic finance, partnering with founders, corporate boards, and institutional investors to shape business narratives and navigate complex strategic decisions. I approach admissions the same way investors evaluate opportunities: through leadership, judgment, trajectory — and, most importantly, fit. The strongest applications show not only why you want a school, but why that specific school is positioned to accelerate your goals. I particularly enjoy working with applicants pursuing careers in business or finance, though I help candidates across backgrounds move beyond resume bullets and develop thoughtful, authentic stories about motivation and impact. My focus isn’t just essay polishing; it’s helping you articulate a narrative that explains your past, shows intentionality in the present, and convincingly points to your future — all while remaining true to who you are. I’d be excited to work together.
