MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As an MBA candidate at the Haas School of Business, I bring a unique blend of management consulting and social impact experience to my coaching. My background includes impactful roles at Deloitte Consulting and a private family office, where I honed my skills in philanthropic capital allocation and built an expertise in the climate space. I also bring firsthand experience as a “non-traditional” applicant. Prior to business school, I trained at culinary school in France, giving me a unique perspective on crafting a compelling narrative across unconventional career paths. I’ve navigated both advanced access/deferred MBA programs and the traditional admissions cycle and was ultimately admitted to both Wharton and Haas. I love helping applicants translate diverse experiences into clear, authentic, and competitive applications. My students have been admitted to top 10 MBA programs, secured deferred enrollment spots, and gotten off waitlists at their dream schools.

Hey there! I'm Katie—I earned dual MBA/MPA degrees at Stanford GSB and SPIA, and coach admissions for MBA, MPA, and fellowship programs for graduate and undergraduate students. I can't wait to meet you and learn more about how we can turn your dreams into achievable goals, together. I grew up in Tennessee, and got life-changing opportunities to gain a higher education through three fully-paid programs: the Jefferson Scholarship, the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship, and Princeton SPIA's funded MPA program. I've successfully navigated admissions to multiple MBA and MPA programs, and have weighed virtually every combination of joint degree and fellowship program out there. I know how high-stakes these application processes can feel, and how important it is to develop an application and interview in a way that reflects what you uniquely bring to the table. Beyond my own experience, I've spent six years serving on scholarship and admissions selection committees. I've seen how reviewers read applications, what makes essays memorable, and how candidates can avoid common obstacles in the process. I've coached +20 students through every stage of the process—from preparing for standardized tests and identifying the right programs, to crafting compelling narratives and preparing for interviews that feel authentic. Beyond working in investment policy, I love exploring running routes through my new hometown of San Francisco, dabbling on the piano, playing tennis at the park up the street, and hosting dinner parties with my wife.

I'm currently a Stanford MBA (where I'm the Student Body Co-President), and have 5+years of college admissions coaching experience. Before GSB, I spent time as a teacher (focusing on essay writing and story telling) and as a management consultant. Over the years working in admissions consulting, I have helped students based in the US, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore successfully apply to school. I'm here to help you create a stellar MBA application that can launch you into a top program in a way that tells your authentic story. As a coach, I bring a structured, honest, and tailored approach to the application process. Beyond my teaching experience, I also have a BA in Economics, Psychology, and Creative Writing from Northwestern University through which I learned how to help people navigate their truest stories. I'm particularly experienced at helping prospective MBAs figure out how the MBA would play into their larger goals as people and as professionals. No matter how untraditional the path, I'm skilled at helping applicants frame their diverse experiences in a compelling and cohesive way that resonates with admissions committees. If you want a partner in this process, I'm your guide.

Hello! I'm Sathvika, a recent graduate of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management (Class of 2024) - and it was the time of my life. From serving as Kellogg's Women's Business Association Co-President and performing in our annual business school musical to traveling the world with my classmates and partnering with Kellogg Admissions, I'm SO passionate about the unparalleled opportunities for professional and personal growth that business school has to offer. About me: I grew up in Houston, Texas and attended Boston University for my undergraduate studies in International Relations and Psychology. I then joined the corporate world where I started at Dow Chemical, working on post-merger integration projects. I then transitioned to digital transformation consulting at Accenture. Since undergrad, I knew I wanted the full-time top-tier MBA experience - so I began my application journey. The application process was intense – from GRE prep to crafting essays and securing great recommendations – all while balancing a demanding career. My efforts paid off with acceptances to all five schools I applied to. I ultimately chose Kellogg for its exceptional program and the alignment I felt to Kellogg’s culture and values.
