Poets & Quants Top 20 Consulants | Wharton MBA | 130+ Global Clients

As a non-traditional business school applicant, I know first-hand how transformative the right coach can be. My own coach, Sally—a Wharton-Lauder first-year student who had also taken a non-traditional path—was instrumental in my acceptance to the Wharton-Lauder MBA/MA dual degree program. With Sally’s guidance and mentorship, I learned how to craft strong, authentic applications. At Wharton-Lauder, I served on the Admissions Committee for two years and later became a Penn alumni interviewer. I then coached 100+ MBA students at INSEAD and Singapore Management University (SMU), where I also served as MBA Program Director and doubled enrollment in both full-time and part-time programs. Those experiences inspired me to transition into full-time MBA admissions coaching with Fortuna Admissions in 2018. Since then, I’ve advised 130+ clients from 25+ countries across industries ranging from consulting and banking to tech, defense & aerospace, the military, and social impact. I especially enjoy supporting clients whose journeys resonate with mine including: • First-gen college students (FGCS) and first-gen Americans (as the daughter of two FGCS’s and a second-gen American myself) • Military candidates (inspired by my dad’s ROTC and military service) • Internationals (dual citizen of Ireland and the US who lived in Asia 22 years) • Third-culture kids (TCK) and adults (proud mom of two TCKs) • Non-traditional candidates making major career transitions (went from Japanese translator pre-MBA to brand manager at a major media company post-MBA) • Dual degree applicants (earned an dual MBA-MA degree; successfully worked with many dual degree applicants) Earlier in my career, I worked in finance, media, and automotive manufacturing with Citigroup, Time Inc. (now Time USA LLC), and Toyota. Altogether, I’ve lived and worked in 10 countries, which shapes the cross-cultural fluency, strategic insight, and personalized approach I bring to every coaching relationship. I hold an MBA from Wharton, an MA from Lauder, and a BA in Japanese and English from Indiana University, Bloomington. I’m also a certified coach through New Ventures West and a member of the International Coaching Federation. I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my family. Outside of coaching, I write fiction, practice yoga, and enjoy ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement).
