Ad-Hoc Support: Five-Hour Application Package
The MBA Five-Hour Package is a focused solution designed to provide applicants with comprehensive support to refine and perfect their MBA application within a five-hour timeframe. We would meet to scope exactly what the applicant wants as a deliverable. PLEASE NOTE that this is not a comprehensive package. If I receive ad-hoc requests, email requests for strategic support / additional feedback, I will bill this time. This package includes: Personalized coaching sessions to help applicants communicate their unique narrative and demonstrate their suitability for their target MBA program(s). With fast turnaround times and streamlined communication channels, the MBA Five-Hour Package is an ideal choice for busy applicants seeking expert assistance with their MBA application in a short amount of time.
What's included
My coaching style is collegial and growth oriented. The application process is a deeply personal period of reflection and vulnerability. I aim to establish a collaborative relationship with my clients, working together to map out and achieve their goals. I am available over email and phone/text to ensure clear/prompt communication and offer moral support. When we kick off the process, we'll draft a timeline for the key milestones of your application process. Within this process, I will likely respond to your milestones submissions within a few hours and commit to a MAX 48-hour turnarounds on edits, post-interview write-ups, and async questions. In return, I ask that you are responsive about scheduling and aim to schedule 1x1's with one week notice (and cancel them with AT LEAST 24 hours notice). However, I know that life happens! Sometimes you may need a faster turnaround or an emergency session to troubleshoot things. Just let me know :)
- Polished and finalized deliverables of your choice (e.g., essays, resume)

MBA/MPP admissions (Admitted to HBS/HKS/GSB/Wharton/Kellogg)
I intimately understand higher education admissions processes. I bring 10 years of formal admissions and career coaching experience, supporting 20+ U.S. and Nigeria-based applicants with the end-to-end MBA, MPP, and JD admissions processes and helping them secure over $1 million in financial aid packages. I am a strong coaching fit for applicants pursuing dual / concurrent MBA/MPP degrees, applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, and applicants from consulting backgrounds. Regardless of your background and intersections of the lived experiences I listed above, I'll work closely with you to empower your voice and help you build a memorable personal brand for your admissions package. I'm a real estate finance professional, currently working at an affordable housing operator after working in Goldman Sachs' Urban Investment Group. I joined Brown University's Board of Trustees at age 25 and have spent 7 years deeply involved in higher education policy. I received admissions to Harvard Business School (HBS), Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), Kellogg School of Management, and Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) in one admissions cycle, receiving full-tuition scholarships to the programs with merit-based aid (Harvard Kennedy School, Wharton, Kellogg). I bring a host of coaching and personal brand development skills from my past experiences. Throughout graduate school, I advised prospective applicants on preparing winning admissions packages. I was a trained student career coach at Harvard Business School, coaching students making unconventional career changes into real estate, private equity, government, and management consulting. I'm a proud alum of Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) MBA Prep, Toigo Foundation MBA Fellow, and Forte Foundation. PLEASE NOTE that I can't advise candidates applying to degree programs at Brown University. Also, please note that hourly work with me is “a la carte”, meaning we discuss exactly what you want to do with the hours I am tracking exactly how long it takes to complete those tasks. This is most useful for clients who know exactly what they need from me as a coach and are requesting specific things. Please review my packages if you’d like holistic, end-to-end support. Thanks!
