As an international applicant, I was looking for an advisor who not only understood the intricacies of the MBA application process but also one who could help me develop my ‘narrative’ and personal brand, highlighting my unique story and the value I could bring inside and outside the classroom. With his international background and mix of experience, Horatiu was the ideal coach for me. I can’t recommend him enough.

Horatiu was my 'secret weapon' in MBA admissions. His thoughtful, highly-personalized approach and commitment to my success made a world of difference and gave me the confidence to tell my story in an authentic way. With his support, I applied to 7 programs, interviewed at 6, and received 5 offers... all M7. Not too shabby!

Really great working with Sam on everything from casing stuff like math to in-depth behaviorals. I felt I walked into interviews way more prepared than I otherwise would have been had I not met with Sam throughout the recruiting process.

Lisa's coaching gave me the wings I needed to reach my potential at the exact right time in my career. Navigating the challenges of Corporate America as a member of a minority community is incredibly difficult. With Lisa's mentorship and guidance I was able to build the skills necessary to move forward with confidence. Anyone would be lucky to work with Lisa, let alone be coached by her! Lisa comes to these relationships with years of lived experience and given she has touched so many professional lives, she is an amazing connector of people as well! There are few people I trust with career coaching and guidance, so I'm proud to say Lisa is a champion worth having in your corner.

Rosa is an amazing source of knowledge and inspiration. She’s always motivated me to pursue my goals with greater energy and focus while never pressuring me. She’s also a fantastic listener, and she’s great at taking any obstacles I face and helping me to approach them constructively. I really can’t recommend her enough!

Ahmed was a dedicated, patient, knowledgeable tutor. He analyzed my strengths and weaknesses and adapted my study plan to target my weaknesses. His explanations were always clear and insightful, and if I struggled to grasp a concept, he easily found another way to explain it. When I felt burnt out, he did a great job providing the motivation I needed to stay on track. It is obvious that Ahmed was passionate about helping his students improve their scores; he made resources for us to use such as question tracker sheets and a list of helpful MCAT acronyms which I found very helpful.

Rebecca was a great coach for my college applications! She was always prepared with notes and recommendations, and made sure to stay on top of things. She's a great mentor who you can go to with any questions or concerns, and is great at editing essays.

Stefan guided me through the entire process of applying to a Ph.D. in Economics, from crafting my Statement of Purpose to strategically selecting programs. Given how competitive the application process has become each year, having a well-positioned profile is crucial. Stefan helped me design mine effectively. Thanks to his guidance, I received offers from multiple top 10 economics programs in the U.S. and was able to choose the one that best aligned with my research interests and future career prospects.

Kira has been a tremendous guiding force during my MBA at NC State. Navigating an international student's career and job landscape is not easy here. Still, Kira gave me that confidence and coaching that helped me get multiple offers, a full-time internship, and eventually a full-time job. Be it mock interviews, offer negotiations, or corporate etiquette, she can bring out the best in you by pointing out specific areas of improvement. I can vouch for her and promise she can make significant changes in job seekers, career switchers, or anyone looking to excel at their professional lives
