Working with Joy Pincus was instrumental in my successful application to the Kellogg Master in Management program. She helped me clearly define my career goals, refine my story, and craft a cohesive, authentic narrative that truly reflected who I am and where I want to go. Joy’s guidance brought clarity, confidence, and structure to my application, and I’m deeply grateful for her support throughout the process.

I had the opportunity to work with Joy as my coach for my MBA admissions applications, and she played an instrumental role in helping me get accepted to both of the programs that I applied to (in addition to securing a top scholarship offer to both programs). Joy was super responsive and provided valuable feedback within a short time frame throughout the entire process. I'm so grateful I got the chance to work with her! Her helpful insights made a huge difference in helping me prioritize the different steps of each application process and making it as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend working with Joy - you will not regret it.

Prior to hiring Joy for helping with my application, I had applied to multiple highly-ranked full-time MBA programs and was rejected 12 times in a period of 2 years. I had a chance encounter while at the Amsterdam MBA fair and was promptly connected with Joy which turned things around for me. As a 32-year-old from an over-represented community, with 10 years of work experience, I had limited hope of carrying forward with my dream of getting into a top-tier MBA program. Joy brushed my fears aside and got down to the details of my story. She asked me questions I hadn’t considered before, encouraged me to get a little more personal with my essays and identified the strong areas in my profile. Thanks to her guidance, I received my first interview invitation and soon after, I was admitted into a top-5 MBA program! As she is aptly named, Joy always has a smile on her face. The MBA application process can be grueling; make sure you have someone joyful & compassionate helping you through it.

Teddy is a wonderful coach. I reached out to him at the last minute for help with an academic addendum, and he was incredibly generous with his time and flexible with scheduling. His advice is direct and honest, but grounded in empathy. He’s the kind of person who helps you believe in yourself even when the odds feel overwhelming. He’s also very respectful of your time and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I’d absolutely recommend working with Teddy.

My HS senior hit a roadblock on one of the college application prompts and reached out to Robert for help. After the first session, my daughter ran to me screaming "Robert is sooooooooo gooooooood!" Robert was able to quickly connect to my teenager and provide very inspirational advice, and my daughter was able to write the essay after only one session. Robert then continued to work with my daughter on the essay per our request, and my daughter just submitted the essay she's very proud of days before the deadline! Robert is knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and super approachable! He is the best of the best!

I worked with Oba for both career coaching and my Stanford GSB app. He helped me get my BCG offer, then coached me through my whole MBA application. His advice on how to frame my story made a huge difference for both. Oba has this skill where he helps you look at your experiences in a new way and explain them so they actually connect. I wouldn't be at Stanford without him.

Oba's coaching was key for my CBS deferred admit. He helped me build a story that actually made sense, coached my recommenders on what to focus on, and showed me how to tell my story better. Having his support through the whole process gave me the confidence I needed to get in.

I’m very satisfied with the proofreading and writing support I received. Rachel carefully corrected grammar and punctuation errors, improved the flow of my sentences, and suggested clearer word choices. The work was delivered on time and with professional communication throughout. My work now reads much more clearly and confidently. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone looking to improve their writing qualify. Thank you very much Rachel:)

I was very inspired while working on a recent project with Rachel! In our technology-saturated age, AI can feel overwhelming to navigate, and genuine human connection seems increasingly rare. Rachel Brind offers something refreshing. Her analytical skills are exceptional, but what sets her apart is her personalized approach that allows her client to feel truly seen and appreciated.
