Greetings! I'm Alyssa, an MBA-MA graduate from The Wharton School (dual degree in International Studies with the Lauder Institute) and a former Manager at Bain & Company. I pride myself on having a strong background in both numbers and words—I graduated magna cum laude from Brown University with degrees in History and Economics, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. At Bain & Company, I spent several years working on strategic projects for Fortune 500 clients across a diverse set of industries, sharpening my analytical skills and working on high-stakes problem solving. In addition to my consulting experience, my academic journey at Wharton and the Lauder Institute has equipped me with a deep understanding of global business strategy, cross-cultural communication, and leadership. This combination of practical experience and rigorous academic training, in addition to my strength in writing, allows me to help MBA applicants from all walks of life develop authentic, compelling applications that truly showcase their strengths. My goal is to guide you with the same level of dedication and strategic insight that I brought to my own life and career decisions, and help you work towards your goals with confidence and clarity.

Hi there! As a dual Harvard graduate (AB + MBA) and former Chief of Staff to the CEO of a major European retailer, I bring a wealth of experience in business operations, corporate strategy, and leadership. My career has spanned multiple industries and continents, allowing me to develop a unique skill set in critical thinking, financial analysis, and cross-cultural competency. Apart from my own applications, I have successfully coached several individuals through their MBA applications, helping them craft compelling narratives and strategic plans to gain admission to M7 programs. I also routinely advise younger students on US college admissions and serve as an alumni interviewer for Harvard College. Let's work together to turn your MBA aspirations into reality—drop me a note to introduce yourself today!

As a Wharton MBA graduate who came from a non-traditional background and a non-target undergraduate school, I know what it takes to break into top MBA programs without the typical resume. I didn’t have a brand-name employer or Ivy League degree—and I still earned a spot at one of the world’s most competitive business schools. That journey taught me how to craft a powerful narrative, highlight unconventional strengths, and position unique experiences as assets. I’ve also coached dozens of high school students through college essays, helping them tell authentic, compelling stories that get results. I bring that same insight, structure, and empathy to MBA applicants—especially those who don’t fit the traditional mold but have so much to offer.

From refining your resume, to crafting effective personal statements, and through interview prep, I know what it takes to be successful -- not only from having just navigated the process myself, but also from serving as a coach to ~5 prospective students. While I recognize the MBA application process can certainly be stressful, I also believe it’s a unique opportunity for meaningful reflection and even a bit of fun. It’s a chance to dive into your experiences, define your goals, and tell a story that’s uniquely yours. I’m here to guide you through each step, helping to make the process not only manageable but also rewarding. Let’s work together!
