Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Consultants

Applying to business school can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a perfect GMAT score, a built-in network, or a professional background to set you apart. I know, because I’ve been there. I grew up in a low-income community, worked my way into Deloitte, and earned admission to Harvard Business School without the kind of advantages many applicants rely on. I’ve also coached consultants and bankers who worried they’d blend into the crowd. What I’ve learned is that admissions committees aren’t just looking for high scores and polished resumes—they’re looking for people with a story. I help applicants surface the experiences, values, and strengths that make them memorable and compelling, even when they feel “average” on paper. From tackling essays and refining resumes to interview prep and recommender strategy, I’ll help you package your experiences into an authentic narrative that opens doors.

Shortly after earning my MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, I began coaching MBA applicants through one of the most transformative processes of their professional lives. Over the past 13+ years, I’ve helped candidates from around the world gain admission to top programs, My approach combines insider insight with personalized strategy. Having gone through the process myself and having worked with dozens of successful applicants, I understand what schools are really looking for beyond test scores and resumes. I help applicants uncover their most authentic stories, position their strengths with clarity, and bring polish and purpose to every element of their applications, from essays and recommendations to interviews and school selection. What sets my coaching apart is a balance of strategy and empathy. I believe that great applications are not just well-written—they are deeply personal and strategically aligned with a school’s values and culture. My goal is to ensure that every client feels confident, authentic, and prepared to put their best self forward.

I’m a Stanford Graduate School of Business MBA (Class of 2025) and former U.S. Army Special Forces officer with a track record of coaching applicants into Stanford GSB and other top MBA programs. I primarily work with veterans and other non-traditional candidates targeting GSB, where I bring firsthand insight into what the school looks for and how successful applications are constructed. I’m particularly strong at helping applicants organize their experiences into clear, compelling essays, identify which stories are truly strongest, and evaluate draft responses with a rigorous, admissions-focused lens. My approach emphasizes structure, clarity, and authenticity, ensuring that strong leadership backgrounds translate into differentiated, high-quality applications.

I’ve been on both sides of the MBA admissions process, including getting rejected one year and accepted the next, and that experience fundamentally shapes how I coach. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB after initially being turned down, and I know firsthand that success isn’t about becoming “more impressive,” but about becoming clearer, more honest, and more intentional in how you tell your story. I especially enjoy working with nontraditional candidates who have taken risks, pursued unconventional paths, or are charting their own way forward. Before business school, I worked at McKinsey & Company and later led large-scale operations at Rocket Internet and Uber across multiple countries. Since then, I’ve founded and scaled mission-driven companies, including the country's largest worker cooperative, raised capital, served on boards, and won a Tony as a Broadway producer. I coach applicants to articulate not just what they’ve done, but why it matters, how they think, and who they are as leaders. My approach is candid, strategic, and deeply personal. I help you identify the through-line in your experiences, pressure-test your goals, and craft essays that sound like you, not a consultant-written version of you. I’m particularly well-suited to working with nontraditional candidates, reapplicants, and those navigating career pivots, because I’ve lived those paths myself.

I graduated with my MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I was an Arjay Miller Scholar in the top 10% of the class. My background includes serving as Co-President of Women in Management at Stanford, where I supported women-focused admissions programming, and as an alumni interviewer for Yale University. With experience in private equity and leadership roles at Morgan Stanley, I have a deep understanding of what top business schools and companies seek. I've supported coaching clients in crafting compelling applications and navigating the competitive MBA admissions process. My Stanford GSB experience transformed my life- I want others to have their own rewarding grad school experience too. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

Welcome to my profile! As a member of the HBS Class of 2028, with admissions and scholarship offers from multiple M7 and T15 programs, I bring a strategic and structured approach to MBA admissions coaching. Coming from a non-traditional STEM background, I’m especially well-positioned to help candidates who don’t fit the “traditional” MBA mold translate their unique experiences into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with admissions committees. My background in management consulting and client services has trained me to ask the right questions, uncover what truly differentiates your story, and communicate those ideas clearly - skills I apply directly to reviewing essays, resumes, and interview prep. Given my consulting background, I'm also highly mindful of working efficiently within your budget, accustomed to quick turnarounds on tight timelines, and flexible in customizing support to meet your specific needs. Having also personally tested nearly every major MBA prep resource (e.g., Applicant Lab, Forte MBA Launch, Target Test Prep, GMAT and GRE official materials, Magoosh, and others), I can offer candid guidance on which additional tools are actually worth your time and investment. My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and help get you to a point where you can submit strong applications that feel authentic, polished, and confident.
