MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Coming from a technical background, I understand how to form a storyline and appeal to business schools through the resume creation process and answering difficult essay questions while weaving in university experiences and credentials. I have had non-traditional roles for MBA admitted students and I believe that I can help the most for students coming from engineering/computer science/data science looking to pivot into a business background.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate of Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and a current 4th year medical student, I bring a healthcare-centric perspective to the MBA admissions process. Additionally, I'm only a few months removed from being a student admissions interviewer at Kellogg and also spent a year on the admissions committee at my medical school. Thus, I have useful experience on both sides of the admissions process. My goal is to be the go-to coach for those who want to use an MBA to work in the vast world of healthcare. Describing healthcare experience in interviews and essays can be challenging, as it requires translating complex industry knowledge into language that resonates with a broad audience, including MBA admissions committees. I'm confident I can help you do just that. I've reviewed dozens of MBA applications and coached many healthcare-focused candidates. I feel well-prepared to help you leverage your medical background—or if career switching, to express your interest in healthcare—to stand out in your MBA applications. Let's work together to make your application truly exceptional—reach out to get started!

Welcome! European, without a consulting or finance background, never been in the US, no Ivy League undergrad… I once thought joining Stanford GSB would be impossible. But by being strategic, resourceful, and persistent, I made it happen ! And now I want others to pursue the same path and made their dream happen ! That is why I am on Leland ! For over 12 years, I built a career in telecom across France, Spain, South Korea and Poland, leading large teams and managing multi-hundred-million-dollar businesses. On paper, I didn’t fit the “classic” MBA mold. Yet through careful storytelling, clear positioning, and a deep understanding of what schools truly value, I turned what seemed like weaknesses into my greatest strengths. My journey showed me that admissions success is about owning your story, showing your potential, and finding the right strategy to shine. Along the way, I’ve coached dozens of applicants, especially international students, helping them break through their doubts and land at the GSB. I know how transformative the right mentorship can be, because I’ve lived it. Now, I’m here to pay it forward. If you’re ready to pursue your dream, I’d be glad to guide you step by step.

Hello! As a Wharton MBA graduate with honors and a former Admissions Fellow, I have a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for in applicants. I am a Wharton MBA graduate (with Honors, 2021) and love helping prospective MBA students get into their dream MBA program - a daunting process that can be fun if done with an adequate amount of preparation. While at Wharton, I was an Admissions Fellow, helping run Wharton's (in)famous Team Based Discussions (TBDs) while also serving as a face of the school by running info sessions. I love helping others succeed and look forward to helping you through your admissions journey whether that is helping you through your school selection, application process, reviewing resumes / essays or prepping you for interviews. I was 3/3 during my admissions process, receiving scholarships from two top tier programs, and have successfully coached dozens of friends and colleagues over the past 5 years. During my MBA, I coached many other MBA students with career guidance, resume critiques, and interview prep. I have expertise in candidates with traditional backgrounds looking to differentiate their application, particularly those coming from finance backgrounds. I am particularly passionate about linking the seemingly unrelated pieces of candidate's backgrounds into a clear through line. I first encountered MBA coaching when I was applying to matriculate as an MBA in 2019. At that time, I realized how important an MBA coach could be, not only for the specialized toolset and knowledge base, but also for the encouragement during a high pressure application process. I am excited to dive into your background and help you uncover a narrative that will help you show you stand out to top MBA programs.
