Admits to HBS, Stanford, Wharton, and INSEAD. Most of the people I coached came in convinced they were a long shot. The profile was never the problem. The framing was. I also now interview candidates as an alumni interviewer for INSEAD, so I've seen both sides of the table: what actually lands, and what doesn't. And unlike most coaches, I'll help you think past the application itself: whether the degree makes sense for where you want to go, what the post-grad paths really look like, and whether the tradeoffs are worth it. That conversation doesn't come up enough — but it's usually the most important one.

As a graduate of Harvard Kennedy School’s Master in Public Administration program and Creighton University’s Master in Investment Management and Financial Analysis program, I bring both the insider’s perspective and the strategist’s eye to the admissions journey. I have served on the Harvard Kennedy School admissions committee, participated in high-profile initiatives such as the Forte Foundation and Ladies Who Launch, and led numerous school tours and admissions events designed to shape and select the next generation of leaders. This dual vantage point, of both applicant and gatekeeper, allows me to guide clients with precision and candor. I know what elite admissions committees look for, what makes an application unforgettable, and how to transform a candidate’s story into a compelling case for acceptance. My coaching is rigorous, deeply personal, and grounded in the belief that every applicant can rise to meet the standards of the world’s most competitive graduate programs when their true narrative is brought to light.
