Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Consultants

I’m a Chicago Booth MBA and former Booth Admissions Fellow who interviewed MBA applicants. That experience gave me a firsthand view of what makes an interview response clear, credible, and memorable—especially when candidates need to connect their goals, leadership experiences, and personal story. I help MBA applicants prepare for behavioral and fit-style admissions interviews by strengthening their introduction, career goals, school fit, leadership examples, and questions for the interviewer. Sessions are practical and conversational: we work from your actual experiences, practice answers out loud, and identify where greater specificity or reflection would improve the story. I do not share confidential interview questions, internal admissions materials, or represent Chicago Booth or any university. No admissions outcome is guaranteed.

I bring a perspective on MBA admissions that comes from having lived every stage of the journey. My time at Duke University gave me a strong academic foundation, and completing my own MBA means I understand firsthand what admissions committees look for, how the application process feels from the inside, and what it takes to thrive once you arrive. Working in strategy consulting at top-tier firms sharpened my ability to structure complex problems, build a compelling narrative around evidence, and communicate with clarity and impact, which are the same skills that set apart strong essays, interviews, and resumes. I I know how to help candidates identify what makes their story distinctive, position their experiences against what top programs value, and present themselves with confidence. My approach combines rigorous structure with genuine personal investment in each client’s goals.

I have been coaching MBA applicants for almost 15 years! I also served as an admissions reader for Michigan Ross, and I bring this experience to help you put your best application forward!

I'm a Harvard MBA and a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group. My path spans teaching with Teach For America, finance at Bridgewater Associates, and two years in consulting at KPMG before business school. Before joining Leland, I helped seven people with their MBA applications. That experience gives me a practical lens on a central application challenge: connecting your experiences, motivations, and career goals into a clear, credible story. I help full-time MBA applicants develop their application strategy, clarify their essays, and prepare for interviews. Our work focuses on specific examples of leadership and impact, a convincing explanation of why an MBA fits your goals, and writing that sounds like you. Bring an early idea, a rough draft, or an upcoming interview, and we'll identify what needs work and turn it into concrete next steps.

Having personally navigated the highs and lows of the MBA journey, I understand how crucial it is to have the right guidance. After facing rejection myself, I bounced back and successfully gained admission to 11 out of 12 top schools, including 3 M7 programs, with up to $350,000 in scholarships. As a Columbia Business School grad who dabbles in financial modeling for fun, I know what it takes to succeed on this Ivy League path. Since 2021, I’ve helped over 70 candidates secure spots in M7 and T15 schools, with more than $2M in scholarships collectively awarded. My secret sauce? Treating every application as if it were my own—I’m not satisfied with "good enough." Whether it's the 1st or 15th draft, I’ll work with you until your unique story shines. I’ve even crafted 15+ versions of essays for some clients because I believe everyone’s purpose unfolds at its own pace. And here’s a fun fact: In Round 2 of 2023, I had 4 students admitted to Harvard Business School in a single round! Overall, 28 admits among M7s and T15 schools out of 30 students, with approximately $500K in scholarships. Plus, I’m proud of the 4 deferred admits as well. These results reflect my dedication and personalized approach. I’m always accessible for strategy brainstorming, application reviews, or clarifying background checks. With experience across various industries, I’m committed to helping you discover and articulate your mission.

I earned my MBA from MIT Sloan with a concentration in Healthcare Operations. I was also admitted to UCLA Anderson, Darden, and Yale SOM, so I know how different programs read an application and what makes a candidate stand out at each. I applied while working full time as a consultant at Bates White Economic Consulting, where I spent seven years building damages models for litigation. Since Sloan, I have worked as a Technical Product Manager at Capital One and now as a healthcare economist supporting expert witness work with EconOne. I can help you connect your experience to a clear post-MBA goal, whether that is consulting, product, healthcare, or something else. I have taken the GMAT, GRE, LSAT, ACT, and SAT, and I can help with test strategy, school selection, essays, resumes, and interview prep. My style is practical and direct. I break big problems into small parts and work up from there. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling (40 countries), running, biking, reading world literature, and photography.

Persuasive communication is truly effortless for me. My insatiable level of curiosity about what drives people and knowing what the audience wants to hear (high EQ) are the foundation of my successful career in helping people sell themselves. Over the past 16 years, I have raised over $2B for Venture, Private Equity and Hedge Fund firms by coaching founders on how to win through their authentic self. My secret weapon is my line of questioning and how I bring your narrative together. I obtained my MBA from Wharton (UPenn), and my BBA from Emory University. Along the way I have coached many candidates (essays, resumes, interviews) yielding top MBA admissions (Wharton, UChicago, Columbia) and Wall Street / Fortune 500 job placement. I bring out the human element in one's value proposition, which ultimately conveys passion, track record and trust.
