Master’s Programs Admissions Coaches

Hi There! I've worked across the public, private, and non-profit sectors -- ranging from climate policy at the Treasury to scaling a trade services company out in Florida. I can help refine your story, navigate tough decisions on where to focus your energy, and coach you through interview preparation. While at McKinsey, I worked as a recruiting ambassador and interviewed 100+ candidates for the post-undergrad BA Generalist role.

Over the last six years, I have coached hundreds of students at a large R1 institution, guiding them as they prepare for graduate and medical school applications. I work with applicants from personal statement ideation all the way through decision making and I can't wait to do the same with you. Whether you're applying for the first time or reapplying and need a fresh take on your application, I'm confident that my coaching experience will be an asset to you. My approach centers around making meaning of your experiences, helping you to find the connections to your future goals, and translating those in a way that will resonate with the admissions committee. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!

After my own journey applying and interviewing for MBAs and helping others for Master's, from rejections to full-time offers with scholarships, I can personally attest to the challenges, frustrations, and difficulties in determining the right school and executing to receive an offer. I visited 12 business schools in 5 countries in the US, Europe, and Asia in my own research and decision-making process. I've helped numerous applicants on essays, school strategy, narrative development, overall applications, etc. Would be pleased to share learnings and support other applicants in their own trajectories towards success. I've studied in 7 universities and lived in 9 countries, so I uniquely understand different education systems across borders.

I got into Oxford (MSc Financial Economics, Distinction, Dean's List) and HEC Paris (MSc International Finance) in the same cycle with different applications built for different processes. I scored 740 on the GMAT while working in private equity. Since graduating, I've worked across Rothschild healthcare M&A, Kroll DFI valuations, ERM climate strategy, and the City of London Corporation's transition finance program. That career range means I coach applications with a clear view of what actually matters after admission, not just what gets you in. Clients have earned admission to Oxford MFE, HEC Paris MFE, and LBS. I also work with applicants targeting LSE, Cambridge, and Imperial. Most candidates submit essays about leadership and teamwork in the abstract. I help you extract specific proof points from your background and position them for how each programme actually reads applications, because Oxford and HEC are looking for different things, and your application should reflect that.

I’m a Georgetown MiM graduate with offers from London Business School and Imperial College Business School. I’ve helped multiple applicants gain admission to Georgetown and other top MiM programs, and I specialize in end-to-end MiM admissions coaching. I offer end-to-end application strategy, including school selection, narrative development, essay crafting, recommender strategy, interviews, waitlists, scholarship essays, and GMAT guidance, with a strong focus on strategic positioning rather than generic editing. In addition, I’m a GMAT Quant expert, having scored Q51 in GMAT Classic across multiple attempts, which gives me deep insight into how Quant is tested. I provide detailed GMAT Quant and Data Insights (DI) guidance, helping candidates strengthen their quantitative profile as part of a holistic admissions strategy. My approach is strategic, honest, and tailored- focused on positioning your unique story to maximize admits and scholarships.

With a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Harvard University and a Master's in Economics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective to graduate school admissions consulting. As an Admissions Consultant at Admitify and The Ivy Institute, I've guided numerous students through the complexities of their applications, helping them craft compelling narratives that stand out. My experience as a Teaching Fellow at Harvard, where I taught and mentored students across various disciplines, has honed my ability to support applicants in articulating their academic and professional aspirations. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier master's program or need help with research projects, I'm here to provide personalized guidance. Let's work together to make your application shine!

I'm one of the very few STEM-focused college and graduate school admission coaches with a bona fide STEM PhD and career of my own. Because I've accomplished what my students are seeking, my students tend to respect and listen to my advice. I understand STEM students far better than any generic coach. I know the application and application review process inside-out and I'm an award-winning writer who makes my students' personal and statement of purpose essays shine with authentic, attention-grabbing narratives. My additional "unfair advantage" is my massive network of STEM professionals, including professors, hiring managers, scientists and engineers of all stripes. I have over 900 first-degree connections in LinkedIn. Most are people I've actually worked with. I frequently leverage my network to enhance my coaching. I make introductions for students and get my colleagues' perspectives and opinions about what makes the most sense for my students in their specific circumstances.
