Data Science Master’s Admissions Experts

I've been coaching candidates through Masters admissions for over 10 years, across MiM, Masters in Finance, Engineering (mechanical, electronic, computer science), and Data Science programmes. I've worked with 400+ students overall, and nearly all who completed the full journey were admitted to their target programme, including top schools such as LBS, INSEAD, HEC Paris, Bocconi, IE, IESE, Imperial, Cambridge, Oxford, MIT, Stanford, Columbia and ETH Zurich. I hold an MBA from SDA Bocconi and Columbia Business School, a mechanical engineering degree from Politecnico di Milano and the University of Illinois, and I work as a BCG consultant. This combination means I understand both technical and business-oriented programmes from the inside — whether you're applying to MSc Engineering, MiM, Masters in Finance, or looking to transition from a STEM background into a business programme. I cover the full process: school selection, application strategy, CV, personal statement and essays, letters of recommendation, and interview prep. The goal is a cohesive application where every piece reinforces who you are and why you're a strong fit for that specific programme. If what you've read resonates, write to me.

Applying to graduate school is a deeply personal journey, and I believe everyone deserves personalized support. I've helped dozens of students navigate the complexities of applications for highly competitive programs, with many achieving success at top universities like MIT, Harvard, Oxford, LSE, and LBS. While my specialty lies in guiding students pursuing graduate degrees in business and quantitative fields – think MSc in Finance, Financial Analysis, Quantitative Finance, Financial Engineering, and MBAs – I'm passionate about helping all motivated students tell their unique stories and present their strongest selves to admissions committees. With two Master's degrees in Finance and currently pursuing a PhD in the field, I bring a wealth of personal experience to the table. I've been through the application process myself, and I understand the challenges and anxieties that come with it. I can share my own experiences, along with those of the many students I've mentored, to help you with every step of the process: from choosing the right recommenders and determining your target GMAT/GRE score to crafting a compelling personal statement and mastering the art of the interview. I understand the nuances of the application process, and I'm dedicated to providing the support and guidance you need to make your graduate school dreams a reality. I look forward to partnering with you on this exciting journey!
