MBA Admissions Coaches

I'm a Harvard MBA with MBB consulting experience, and a Chemical Engineer with 5+ years experience in operations and engineering roles before business school. I applied to five top MBA programs and was admitted to all (HBS, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, and Duke Fuqua), with over $500K in scholarship offers. I also received offers from the top 3 consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) during business school. Since my own MBA journey, I have coached 30+ applicants across different backgrounds - helping them craft their stories, strengthen their strategy, and show up confidently. Whether you're a non-traditional candidate, just starting your MBA journey, or deep in essays and interviews, I'm here to be your strategist, sounding board, and biggest cheerleader. I have worked with individuals across various demographics and time zones and will be more than happy to work with you to put your best foot forward. I'm here to help you tell your story powerfully and authentically - and win that admit!

I got into Wharton with a GMAT of 710 and TOEFL of 106, both well below the school's average. I also received scholarship and fellowship offers from NYU Stern and Michigan Ross. My test scores didn't define my application. What stood out was my unique story: diverse career pivots across functions and markets, a niche in entrepreneurship, design thinking, and EdTech, and a track record of doing things others thought impossible (like publishing two books before ever working in corporate). I leaned into what made me different, not what made me "the same best" as everyone else. That's the biggest mistake I see applicants make: trying to fit into what they think MBA programs want. But admissions committees aren't looking for the "best" candidate. They're looking for a diverse class of unique individuals. Your job isn't to be perfect. It's to be distinctly you. I pursued a dual degree, MBA and Master's in Education, at Penn because I'm genuinely passionate about empowering others. That same passion drives my coaching today. I also know what it feels like to work with big-name consultants who don't remember your story and give generic advice. My approach is different. I offer personalized support and help you uncover and articulate what makes you stand out. Whether you're an international student, a career changer, or still deciding if an MBA is the right path, I'm here to help you figure it out.

I was invited to interview with all four MBA programs to which I applied (Wharton, HBS, Booth, and Sloan), and I completed this process not too long ago.

I’m a Stanford Graduate School of Business MBA and former admissions committee member at Tufts University. I help nontraditional MBA applicants get into top programs without prior work experiences in consulting, banking, or tech. I’ve been on both sides of the table. I know how applications are actually evaluated, where nontraditional candidates lose signal, and how to translate unconventional experience into a narrative admissions committees respect. My work focuses on strategy, positioning, and storytelling to turn your experiences into clear admissions leverage. If you don’t fit the "traditional" MBA mold, I will help you find a way to win anyway.

My coaching style is practical, candid, and tailored to each individual’s story. Whether you’re just starting your application or looking for that final polish, I’m here to help you stand out and reach your MBA goals. Let’s connect and make your application truly compelling!

Hi there! I'm Johnny, and I'm thrilled to support you on your MBA journey. I was fortunate to be admitted to Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, and Harvard Kennedy School, and I previously worked at McKinsey & Company. But more than the names on my résumé, what sets me apart as a coach is how personally I understand the grit, self-doubt, and strategy it takes to craft a standout application. As a first-generation college graduate, I know how overwhelming this process can be—and I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence, clarity, and heart. Whether you're building your story from scratch or polishing your final draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help you find your voice, tell your truth, and maximize your chances at the schools of your dreams.

I’m an HBS MBA (graduated with Distinction) who "swept" the top business schools: I earned admission to Stanford GSB, Wharton (Howard E. Mitchell Fellow), Columbia (Full Tuition), Yale SOM (Full Tuition), Berkeley Haas, and Harvard. I know exactly how to turn a "non-traditional" background into a winning offer. Before HBS, I was a CPA and consultant—not a typical feeder for private equity. Yet, through rigorous positioning and storytelling, I leveraged my MBA to pivot directly into Growth Equity at Summit Partners. I’ve since been featured in Poets & Quants and selected as an inaugural HBS RISE Fellow. My coaching is built on that same level of execution. I have coached 100+ applicants to define their edge, specifically helping career switchers and first-generation candidates punch above their weight class. I don’t just edit essays; I help you build a narrative that connects your personal story (resilience, identity, overcoming adversity) to your professional goals. What to expect: Direct, high-touch partnership. We will clarify your "why," sharpen your resume line-by-line, and build an interview strategy that is authentic and confident. If you want a coach who will push you to present the strongest, most ambitious version of your story, let’s get to work!

Hi! I’m a current MBA student at Wharton, where I’m on the Director’s List (top 10% of the class).. Before business school, I spent four years in consulting, and I’m now interning in private equity - so I’m especially excited to help consultants, finance professionals, and potential career-switchers tell a compelling story. I’ve coached students and professionals for years across subjects and stages, and I’m here to support you with everything you need - including overall strategy, resume reviews, essays, interview prep, and more. I know how daunting this process can be, and I’d love to be in your corner for it.
