MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome to my profile! With 20+ years experience in Admissions Consulting, Career Coaching, Education, and Recruitment, I've supported many candidates gain admission to top MBA programs on the planet. My values are deeply rooted in quality education, global interconnectedness, and diversity & inclusion. If you're targeting a seat at some of the best schools in the world, working together, I'm confident we can get you there, and my previous client testimonials confirm that. As former Director of Recruitment for the Global MBA program at ESSEC Business School (Paris, France & Singapore) I know exactly what gives MBA applicants a competitive profile in the eyes of admissions committees. Previously in my role at France's prestigious Sciences Po, I offered countless workshops on how to write an impactful CV, as well as how to interview effectively. Prior to this, I worked in admissions & recruitment at Long Island University in New York. Additionally, as an English teacher for many years, most recently at the prestigious École de Guerre, you can rest assured that your essays will be critiqued for English grammar and spelling with the eye of a hawk. In 2020, I created Candidate Coach to do admissions consulting full time. Currently based between Paris, France and New York City - centrally located and globally connected to team up for appointments, no matter what your time zone in the world.

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. I can help you tell your story and really stand out. I make things accessible and break them down into bite sized goals to help you put your best foot forward. While in my MBA program I worked at Bridgewater Associates and then had offers from Goldman Sachs TMT SF and Morgan Stanley Tech Investment banking groups. I also won the P.D. Soros Fellowship for New Americans (1% acceptance rate, $90,000) and the Zuckerman Fellowship (full ride at Harvard + Stanford), which helped fund a large part of my graduate degree.

Expert in the LBS admissions process, currently sitting on the interview panel for the school. I've worked with 15+ candidates across all programmes, helping them secure offers at top European MBA schools. I specialise in career pivoters, particularly those moving from structured careers like banking or consulting into tech and entrepreneurship. Having made that exact transition myself, from investment banking at Bank of America and Evercore to Chief of Staff at a UK tech unicorn, I'll help you craft a compelling story, sharpen your post-MBA goals, and position your application for maximum impact.

As a MBA graduate and full-merit scholar (awarded Forte Fellowship) from the Berkeley Haas School of Business - in addition to being admitted to Wharton and Columbia Business school for full-time MBA programs with scholarships - I can advise you on storytelling, interview prep, writing and editing essays that will get you a (strong) step closer to getting into your dream school. I have also served on the admissions committee at Wellesley College (undergrad) as an interviewer, and as a peer advisory at Berkeley Haas, am confident in resume-editing and mock interviewing. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths, and give direct feedback to improve. Also, if you are an anxious test taker I can help with strategies that helped me overcome my self-doubt to achieve a great score. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

I have helped over 150 candidates gain admission to programs including INSEAD, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale SOM, IESE, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, and others. My clients have come from companies including Netflix, Naver, Nexon, Santander, and Accenture. Many of the people I work with are exceptional candidates whose strengths are easy to underestimate on paper, especially if they are applying from outside the US or UK or working in a second language. They do not just need help polishing essays. They need help understanding what makes them compelling and communicating that with clarity, confidence, and precision. I help you identify the story, judgment, and self-awareness that admissions committees are actually looking for, then express it in a way that is memorable without feeling manufactured. If you are aiming for the highest level and want a coach who understands both international applicants and high-stakes positioning, I can help.

This unique blend of finance, consulting, venture capital, and entrepreneurial experience allows me to provide comprehensive guidance on crafting standout applications.

I just completed one of the most competitive MBA application cycles in history, earning admission to MIT Sloan (where I'll be attending), Columbia Business School, Kellogg, Booth, and Stern—with interviews at 6 of the 7 M7 schools I applied to. But what truly qualifies me as a coach isn't just my own success—it's my passion for teaching. I currently guest lecture at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and have spent years mentoring Accenture analysts, teaching underprivileged children in India, and leading pro-bono consulting projects. My family's legacy in education taught me that the best coaches don't just know the material; they genuinely care about their students' success. As a strategy consultant at Accenture for 4 years, I've honed the storytelling, analytical, and strategic thinking skills that make MBA applications successful. I've lived this process recently and intimately, tackling diverse essay formats and navigating competitive interview processes. I succeeded as a public university graduate breaking into M7 schools and understand how to position unique backgrounds as strengths. Whether you're a consultant looking to differentiate yourself, a public university grad aiming for M7, or someone with a mission-driven story to tell, I'll bring a data-driven, personalized approach to help you craft a winning narrative.

Hey there! With an MBA from Harvard Business School and a strong background in consulting and asset management, I bring a wealth of experience to MBA admissions coaching. My journey includes serving on the admissions committee at Trinity College, where I evaluated candidates and conducted information sessions. As a former entrepreneur, consultant at McKinsey & Company and Asset Manager at Morgan Stanley, I understand the competitive landscape and what top programs are looking for in applicants. I'm here to help you create an application that truly represents YOU and helps you to feel confident when you crush your interviews. Reach out if you’re ready to lock in and get started!
