MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I’m a current Harvard Business School MBA student who was admitted through the Harvard 2+2 deferred admissions program. Before HBS, I worked as a Senior Associate Consultant at Bain & Company, co-founded an investment firm that has acquired three companies, and am now building Midstone Service Group, a roll-up focused on acquiring and growing steady cash-flowing businesses. Over the past five years, I've helped more than 10 applicants gain admission to top MBA programs including Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton. I combine structured problem-solving from my consulting background with real operator and investor experience to help clients tell compelling stories, make strategic career moves, and present their strongest applications. Whether you’re navigating MBA admissions, breaking into private equity or consulting, or looking for career clarity, I bring a proven track record and a practical, actionable approach to helping you reach your goals.

I bring deep experience coaching applicants through competitive MBA admissions, with successful placements at top programs including Kellogg, Booth, Wharton, CBS, Duke Fuqua, Ross, Yale SOM, and more. As a Yale MPH and current Kellogg MBA in the Healthcare@Kellogg and Strategy pathways, I understand how top business schools evaluate candidates and how to craft compelling, high-impact applications. Over the past two years, I have advised 17+ applicants across traditional, deferred, and part-time MBA programs. My coaching spans strategic positioning, essay development, resume refinement, recommendation strategy, and interview preparation. I specialize in helping applicants with healthcare, non-traditional, and social impact backgrounds articulate a clear narrative that resonates with admissions committees and maximizes admit probability.

I'm great at helping you convey your stories with clarity, and getting your word count down to your essay's limit with flair. I've helped several folks get into M7 and beyond programs by helping them tie their experiences to their business school goals.

Hi! I'm a Harvard MBA graduate and received admission through the deferred admit / 2+2 program (with a GMAT of 760). I've had a diverse set of work experiences both before HBS (venture capital, social activism, government) and since (Goldman Sachs, The Economist, and now transitioning into creative work / poetry). I love coaching people and particularly enjoy helping international students, and students from unconventional or underrepresented backgrounds. Funnily I've also had a lot of experience getting rejected from places (across sectors and regions!) - which has taught me a lot about what works, and what doesn't -- and how to stay sane through it all :)
