Hi all! I'm a seasoned product manager with 5 years of operating experience scaling small startups into companies with hundreds of employees. I've founded, gone through acqusitions and recently started dabbling in investing by spending time at leading Venture firms. One of my proudest achievements is attending the Schwarzman Scholars program in Beijing, China. It's a very unique experience that's fully funded but also extremely competitive. If you're interested in applying to Schwarzman Scholars or other MBA-type programs I'm happy to help! How I like to work: 1. Free introductions call and assessment (I will not waste your time if I don't think I can be of value to you). During this time I'll take in your information and give you my candid feedback on how we might be able to work together. 2. Customize an application strategy from Top to Bottom. Since Schwarzman Scholars has a very low interview-intake rate, we'll focus on highlighting your strengths to optimize getting past the application screening process first. During this process I'll be leveraging my own experiences applying as well as knowledge from my classmates. 3. Start sessions!

On coaching for MPA / MPP / Master of City Planning: I have helped many individuals in the past who are considering a Masters in Public Policy, Public Administration and even some in City Planning.

I have written roughly ten applications for graduate fellowship programs and was fortunate to be awarded the Rhodes, Truman, and Knight-Hennessy Scholarships to fund the entirety of my graduate education.

I have deep expertise in the entire process, from selecting recommenders to writing essays to ultimately interviewing. My students have applied to programs ranging from law school to MBAs to masters and doctorate program in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, so if you're interested in a graduate fellowship please reach out!
