Mel B.
Former Admissions Staff | Pro Coach | Make your application stand out
I’m a coach with over a decade of experience in higher education and a graduate degree in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting. My background spans university admissions, leadership, professional development, and visitor experience at Stanford University, The University of Texas at Austin, and New York University. Most notably, two of my experiences have prepared me well to coach you: Working in higher education: I’ve recruited students, reviewed admissions applications, led teams and initiatives, and supported professionals navigating new opportunities. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into what it takes to stand out, communicate effectively, and succeed in competitive environments. Studying and practicing coaching: Through my graduate degree at NYU and my credential as an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-certified coach, I’ve developed the skills to challenge, support, and empower clients as they work toward their goals. I grew up in the US and am based in the UAE. I am a proud graduate of New York University, the University of Georgia, and Clemson University (and am a huge college football fan!).
