MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Hey all! I'm offering EXTREMELY discounted coaching since I'm building up a client base again. I previously charged up to $200/hour so enjoy the discounts while they last! I was an extremely active coach back in 2022 on Leland and several other platforms before I started at McKinsey and had to pause due to contractual obligations--feel free to check my reviews on Leland. I have extensive experience coaching across all aspects of MBA admissions: 1. I have helped 30+ students get into top MBA programs, including HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, etc. I also have experience helping several students get into top executive or non-traditional programs (Stanford MSx, Wharton EMBA, etc.). 2. I am a former professional writer, and I have helped almost all of my students brainstorm, recraft, tune, and edit their essays. This is primarily what I help with for MBA applications. 3. I spent years tutoring standardized tests (GRE, GMAT, SAT). While I no longer offer tutoring services, I can help you develop a study plan and tackle weak points. 4. I am a professional resume reviewer for both MBA admissions and consulting applications. 5. Additionally, I was an Admissions Fellow for the Wharton MBA program

Welcome! I am a current Harvard Business School student who received admissions to 4 top-rated MBA programs and received $450k+ in merit-based scholarships. I am eager to share the strategies I learned that helped me land admissions to elite programs. Together, we can select which programs best match your goals, craft your compelling story, and put together cohesive applications for your dream MBA programs. We can engage in rigorous interview preparation and negotiate scholarships. I can also help you with time management if you're also taking the required exam and working while applying. I bring a warm, practical approach to coaching and can't wait to work side-by-side and help you navigate the MBA application process.

As a Duke Fuqua MBA graduate and Forte Fellow, I bring both firsthand experience and a deep commitment to helping aspiring MBAs succeed. During my time at Fuqua, I served as a Career Fellow and Co-Director of the Sustainable Business & Social Impact Conference, gaining unique insights into what top business schools seek in applicants. My current role at Zillow as a Product Manager, along with my experience at LinkedIn in business transformation and marketing, gives me a comprehensive view of the intersection between business strategy and personal branding. I understand the challenges and opportunities of the MBA journey, especially for non-traditional candidates, and can guide you in crafting a compelling, authentic application that stands out to admissions committees. Let’s work together to make your MBA dreams a reality, building an application that reflects your unique strengths and aligns with your professional goals!

After ~3 years at Bain & Company, I was accepted into the Kellogg School of Management as a sponsored consultant.

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

• Attended Stanford Graduate School of business for MBA (plus Dartmouth College for undergrad) • Competitively selected for GSB's two most storytelling-intensive programs (View From The Top and LOWkey Notes) • 10+ years professional storytelling as military PR specialist, AI communications startup CRO, and periodicals journalist • 10+ years in admissions counseling, with volunteer work as a Regional Manager for Dartmouth alumni interviews • 10+ years of leadership and mentorship as a Marine Corps Officer and collegiate varsity athletics captain

I applied to a broad range of top programs and was admitted to every school I applied to (4 M7 and 10 T15), despite having a sub-par undergraduate GPA and a non-traditional background. Now, I’ve been on both sides of the process. Most recently, I served on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, where I reviewed 100s of applications, interviewed candidates, and saw firsthand how this are evaluated internally (NOTE: It’s a far more structured and methodical process than most applicants realize!) I work selectively with motivated applicants who want honest, direct feedback and a clear strategy from someone who has navigated the process successfully and understands how decisions are actually made.
