Comprehensive MBA Package: Strategic Support for Every Part of Your Journey
This offering is for hands-on help with all aspects of MBA applications for candidates who want to present themselves as the total package to AdComs. (Do NOT underestimate all of the unglamorous parts - it's not all about the essays!) We'll start with an extensive questionnaire and a roughly 2 hour kickoff meeting so I can get an in-depth understanding of your personal and professional history in order to identify key stories, strengths, and weaknesses. Following the kickoff, I'll also create a roadmap for our work together. We'll then tackle recommender strategy and prep packs, resume revamp, essay development and revisions (I'll review up to 4 drafts of each essay), data forms (the actual application forms), and a mock interview (1 per package purchased, regardless of how many schools it is for). Guidance and prep on any video segment/interview and waitlist strategy are also included, if applicable. I will also be available to advise on the multitude of questions and issues that inevitably pop over the course of the process. I will not stop until I feel that you have the strongest possible materials to submit, there by giving you the best chance to achieve your goals!
What's included
Our engagement will start with you completing a comprehensive questionnaire that will serve as the basis for a 2 hour kickoff call where i get to know your personal and professional experiences and MBA/career goals. From then on, I tailor the process according to the candidate's preferences - typically something like weekly or ad hoc calls or video chats to discuss issues and lots of asynchronous work on written documents. I am also available via text within reason. The mock interview is obviously done live and I give feedback immediately after. I view coaching engagements as a partnership rather than a transaction, and I love getting to know the people I work with on a deep and meaningful level. Not only does this put us in the best place to achieve our desired results, but it makes for enjoyable and potentially fruitful long-term relationships on both ends.

- The confidence to ace your interviews

Haas Admissions VP, 4x Top Leland Coach, 200+ Top 25 Admits
I'm a Princeton undergrad and Berkeley Haas MBA who is passionate about marketing, writing, and mentoring. I have long been involved with admissions, having served as a co-VP of admissions and new student orientation at Haas, a college admissions mentor for financially disadvantaged youth in San Francisco, and a long-time Princeton alumni interviewer. I discovered a talent and love for admissions consulting after graduating from Haas in 2015. My professional experience spans multiple industries and functions, which gives me a breadth of knowledge to draw on. I've spent the majority of my career in product marketing and product management roles at investment firms (BlackRock & Franklin Templeton), however I have also worked on a major political campaign, consulted to Silicon Valley tech startups, and worked in investor relations at a small-cap biotech company. As a pet project, I published an Amazon bestselling book in 2020. Unsurprisingly, I thrive on variety and enjoy working with applicants from numerous different backgrounds. I also happen to think that non-linear career paths are some of the most interesting, and I excel at helping non-traditional candidates connect the dots in their personal narratives. Above all, I absolutely love engaging with talented individuals and showing them how to present the best version of themselves to admissions committees through authentic and engaging storytelling. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my husband (Columbia MBA) and two young kids and doing anything and everything outdoors, especially SKIING, playing tennis, cycling, hiking, and running. I currently live in Salt Lake City, though my heart will always be in Bozeman, MT where I grew up.
