MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Hello and welcome! I hold dual Master’s degrees from the University of Oxford—an MBA and a Master’s in Public Policy—and a First Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of Cape Town. My academic and professional journey, including roles at McKinsey & Company and KPMG, has given me a deep understanding of competitive admissions processes and how to position candidates for success. Having personally navigated the demands of MBA applications (including how to achieve a top GMAT score) and co-founded a student chapter of Effective Altruism, I know how to craft compelling narratives that highlight unique strengths. Whether you’re refining your personal statement or building a targeted admissions strategy, I’m here to provide tailored guidance and actionable advice to help you achieve your MBA goals.

Welcome to my profile! As a future Harvard Business School MBA, admitted through the 2+2 Deferred MBA program, I bring a unique perspective to the application process. With dual degrees in Marketing and English from the University of Maryland, College Park, and professional experience as a Marketing Specialist at Cisco, I understand that in a sea of applicants, your ability to allow your story to shine is what will really set you apart. Applying to a top MBA program requires nothing less than a clear understanding of your story—and I'm here to help you find, refine, and convey your unique story to get you in. Let's work together to make your MBA application stand out. Reach out to start your journey!

Standing out in competitive business school applications is all about how you tell your story. As a former strategic communications consultant at the Brunswick Group, an experienced Yale alumni admissions interviewer, and a successful pivoter, I can help you craft a narrative that resonates with admissions committees while staying true to who you are. I was admitted to 6 MBA programs with over $700K in total merit-based scholarships offered, so I've navigated this process myself — and I know what works. Whether it's sharpening your essays, refining your resume, or preparing you for interviews, I bring the same skills I used to media prep C-suite executives to help you approach admissions with clarity and confidence. I also believe the admissions process is bigger than admissions - it's a time to reflect on your personal and professional goals. Learning how to tell your story so far can help you write the next chapter. Here's how I can help: -Identifying target programs -Comprehensive resume review -Essay brainstorming and "story mining" -Crafting clear and compelling essays -Recommender selection advice -Elevator pitch -Mock interviews and tough Q&A

Coming from a non-target undergraduate institution and non-target work place I secured admission at MIT and Harvard and know how difficult it is to do so.
