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.

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 coached myself through the entire MBA admissions process. I applied to six programs, HBS, IESE, Georgetown, Duke, Kellogg and Georgia Tech, and was admitted to all six, including the Consortium Fellowship at Georgetown, before choosing my lifelong dream, HBS. After business school, I spent a year and a half in consulting at Bain before returning to The Home Depot, where I now work on the strategy team. Having built six applications myself while working full time, I know firsthand what schools are actually looking for, and how hard this process is to do alongside a demanding job. My time in seminary taught me to see people as whole individuals, not numbers in a pipeline, and that shapes how I coach today. I take on a small number of candidates at a time, so the attention you get is genuinely 1:1. I'm bilingual and bicultural, and I can work with you in Spanish and help translate your story into language a US admissions committee can connect with. My own non-traditional path gives me a real understanding of applicants whose story doesn't follow a standard track.
