Master's Programs Consultants, Events, & Resources

With degrees from the University of Oxford and Columbia University, I bring a strong academic foundation in both business and the humanities. Professionally, I serve as the Head of Programming at the United Nations Global Compact Network USA, where I lead initiatives that support over 1,000 U.S. companies - including many in the Fortune 500 - on strategy, leadership, and sustainability. My earlier experience at the International Chamber of Commerce and Bain & Company sharpened my skills in strategic analysis, stakeholder engagement, and program development. This blend of academic rigor and real-world leadership gives me a unique perspective as a coach. Whether you're applying to a master’s program in business or the humanities, I know what top institutions are looking for - and I’m here to help you position yourself for success with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Having been a Schwarzman Scholar, I've seen what it takes and have passed that experience onto numerous clients, helping them figure out if the program is the right next step in their career and helping them throughout the application writing and interview process

I was admitted to a 3 Master's of Biomedical Science programs for the purpose of strengthening my application to dental school: Rutgers, Nova Southeastern, and Roseman.

I have extensive experience successfully coaching students applying to engineering master's programs. Over the years, I have guided 8 individuals, achieving strong outcomes in admissions across top universities. As someone who transitioned disciplines myself, I offer invaluable insights to help candidates shift into engineering. My coaching covers all key aspects of the application process: Identifying strengths and crafting a compelling story Developing an impressive resume/CV and personal statements Interview preparation tailored to engineering programs Navigating complex admission requirements and timelines With deep knowledge of the latest trends at leading institutions, I provide customized advice to position applicants favorably. My track record demonstrates my ability to bring out the best in aspiring engineering graduate students and empower them to secure their academic goals.

I’m qualified to coach in this category because I’ve personally navigated the global master’s admissions journey and helped hundreds of others do the same- successfully. I hold a Master in Management-Grande Ecole from ESCP Business School (FT Global Top-5) (with admits into HEC, LBS, LSE, ESSEC, Duke, etc.) and bring 7+ years of international experience across investment banking, strategy consulting, corporate strategy, and venture capital, working with firms such as Morgan Stanley, PwC, RTL Group, Citi, and Adler Group. This means I don’t just understand applications on paper, I understand how top schools evaluate profiles, potential, and long-term career fit, and how that translates into real outcomes after graduation. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of international candidates from diverse academic, cultural, and professional backgrounds, many of whom have secured strong admits across Europe, the UK, North America, and Asia. My reviews reflect that track record, but they’re only one data point. I strongly believe the best way to assess fit is a 15-minute conversation, where you’ll quickly see how I think, work, and challenge you. My style is straightforward, honest, and high-standards. I don’t over-promise, sugarcoat feedback, or “please” clients. I focus on clarity, precision, and execution, because that’s what top schools reward. If something doesn’t make sense for your profile, I’ll tell you. If something can be improved, we’ll fix it properly. 🎓 Programs I Support Master in Management (MiM) Master in Finance (MFin) Master in Financial Engineering (MFE) Specialized Master’s programs in Marketing, Sustainability, Strategy, Data, and Engineering-related fields 🌍 Geographies I Cover United States Western Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, etc.) United Kingdom Singapore China & Hong Kong If you’re looking for real guidance, not scripted advice, and want to approach your master’s applications with strategy, integrity, and confidence- I’d be happy to help.
