Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

I've spent the last 16+ years helping ambitious applicants get into the world's most competitive MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, MIT Sloan, Yale SOM, and Booth. Across 200+ MBA clients, 95% have been admitted to at least one of their top-choice programs, and over half have received scholarship money. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, where I focused on Strategy and Entrepreneurship. That gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what M7 adcoms are actually looking for. My career in this work started in Singapore, at a test prep and admissions firm I helped expand into Shanghai, running tutoring and admissions consulting in both markets before coming back to New York to found my own practice. That international background means I'm equally comfortable working with US candidates and applicants from Asia, Europe, and beyond, particularly the kinds of candidates who often have the strongest stories but the hardest time articulating them: finance professionals reinventing themselves, engineers making a pivot, non-traditional career switchers. My work focuses on coherence. Most applicants arrive with strong but scattered material: a real career, real accomplishments, but no through-line. My job is to help you find the narrative that ties it all together, build a school list that's strategic (not aspirational), and turn essays into the strongest part of your application instead of the most stressful. If you want a structured, results-focused partner, let's talk.

With an MBA from Oxford's Said Business School and a Master in Public Policy from Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, I bring a blend of business and social impact into my coaching. My professional journey includes roles at Bain & Company, The Global Fund, and the Inter-American Development Bank, where I focused on finance and strategy. I successfully mentored and coached individuals in the MBA process, from navigating and selecting which MBA were the best "fit" (1 year, 2 year, or part-time MBA programs, dual or joint degrees; in the US, UK, or Europe), providing guidance in their application (e.g., reviewing CV or resumes, personal statements or essays) and preparing for interviews for Oxford SBS and other MBA programs in the US.

I am a Berkeley Haas MBA candidate, the founder of MBA to Commas, and one of the few coaches on this platform who is actively inside a top MBA program right now. I have coached over 400 MBA students, completed 10 customized mentorship packages with a 100% admit rate across all clients, and previously worked as a coach with an early admit program. I built MBA to Commas from the ground up as a boutique admissions consulting firm specifically for first-generation applicants, career changers, and ambitious professionals who do not have a built-in network guiding them through the process. I know what admissions committees at elite programs are looking for because I have helped hundreds of people get in and I am living it myself at Haas right now. Beyond admissions, I am a licensed California realtor with over $1.1 million in transactions, an Airbnb Superhost, and a content creator with 94,000 followers and over 300 million views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. I have worked with brands including Netflix, Verizon, and Perplexity AI. I bring that same strategic, results-driven mindset to every client I work with. If you have a non-traditional background, a story that does not fit neatly into a template, or an application you are not sure how to position, I am the coach you want. My track record speaks for itself and I am just getting started.

As a Harvard Business School MBA graduate, I have firsthand experience navigating the competitive admissions process and understand what it takes to stand out. I have coached a number of mentees and helped them to get into top MBA programs by helping them to find the narrative threads of their experience and communicate them in the ways that resonate most with admissions committees.

Harvard Business School MBA Class of 2018

HBS '23 (MBA with Distinction) | Cambridge MPhil | Non-Traditional Background Coach (Former Diplomat) | Former International MBA Applicant | Coached ~60 people in last decade | My MBA admissions insights are shaped by personal rejection and success across two cycles. Former consulting coach & tutor at HBS. ------------ I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions, having experienced both rejection and success firsthand. After initially being unsuccessful in my applications, I reapplied and secured admission to Harvard Business School (HBS) – without the help of a consultant. Through significant effort and independent research, I gained the insights needed to stand out. Looking back, having a mentor like myself – someone who understands the process and how to succeed – would have made the journey far more efficient. I hold a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick, an MPhil in Development Economics from Jesus College, University of Cambridge, and an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School. As a non-traditional candidate, I became a diplomat at just 25 and served in five High Commissions and Embassies, giving me a unique perspective on navigating the admissions process outside the traditional MBA applicant pool. Over the years, I have mentored numerous aspiring MBA candidates, guiding them through every step of the process, from crafting outstanding applications to excelling in interviews. My proven strategies, built on real-world experience and a track record of success, equip me to help candidates from all backgrounds achieve their MBA aspirations. I know what it takes to succeed because I have lived it – and I am here to help you do the same.
