I understand the stress of preparing for the GMAT/GRE while juggling school or long hours at a full-time job—I’ve been there myself. I applied to Harvard and Stanford in Round 2 for the Class of 2026 and was waitlisted at both. For me, being waitlisted was even more stressful than rejection. Two months later, I reapplied and was admitted to both schools—a dream come true. I’d love to share my knowledge and lessons learned to help you navigate the process and achieve your goals.

I'm a Stanford MBA grad, UT-Austin alum, and immigrant with a collaborative, results-oriented approach focused on getting you into your dream program. Before business school, I worked in management consulting and venture capital investing, and I've reviewed, coached, and sharpened the stories of hundreds of applicants across top programs. My superpower is turning intricate, high-potential, and / or immigrant backgrounds into crisp, high impact narratives that capture attention fast. As a Stanford MBA admissions ambassador, I know exactly what top programs look for and how to position you to meet those expectations. I guide applicants on targeted school selection, polished resume reviews, and strategic essay writing, helping you build an application that is genuine, compelling, and fully aligned with your future goals.

Why I’m Qualified to Be Your Admissions Coach: With over 15 years of experience as a former director of Master's and MBA admissions, I have an insider's understanding of what top-tier business schools look for in applicants. I’ve worked with clients targeting prestigious schools like Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and INSEAD, helping them navigate the complexities of the application process with personalized strategies. As the founder of The Admission Concierge, a boutique MBA consulting firm, I specialize in crafting compelling narratives, refining resumes, and guiding clients through every aspect of the MBA journey—whether it’s essay writing, interview coaching, or school selection. My approach is data-driven, hands-on, and tailored to each client's unique story, ensuring they stand out in competitive applicant pools. I also bring an academic background with a Ph.D. from the University of Paris, giving me a well-rounded perspective for applicants in both MBA and advanced-degree programs. Whether you’re applying for a top MBA program or considering a dual-degree, my goal is to guide you with clarity, confidence, and a strategic edge to make your application shine.

I recently graduated with MBA from INSEAD. I was invited for the interviews from INSEAD and HBS despite being in an over-represented demographic. As a non-traditional applicant myself, I completely understand your weaknesses and strengths. I found it essential and extremely helpful to get relevant feedback from experts while building a strong narrative in an extremely competitive pool. And I would like to give back to prospective students who are in my shoes to share my experiences and lessons learnt, and provide the right guidance for you to succeed. As a coach, I will help you to reflect your true personality and character as authentically as possible while crafting a strong foundation for your essays and overall application strategy. I not only help my clients coach on applications and school selection but also keep in touch with them through their journey of completing their MBA, help make right career decisions, and share my life experiences with them. With prior clients I have typically focused on: - Writing a standout essay that reflects your personality as a whole considering with what the school is looking for - Adapting your resume to the appropriate MBA school audience - Choosing the right references and how to initiate conversation with them for strong references
