MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I am a great MBA coach because of the unique process and framework I developed and followed to obtain admission to multiple top 10 MBA programs. I come from a low-income first generation immigrant and college student background. I have experienced first hand what it's like to undergo the application process as an underdog by multiple measures and emerge victorious. I know how to navigate the common pitfalls and how to build a competitive application that punches above its weight. In addition, I have a passion for passing on the torch to the next generation and pulling folks up as I climb. In my free time I coach/mentor multiple students and professionals that share my background and have repeatedly heard from them that my advice, clear communication, and encouragement was instrumental in helping them achieve their academic and career goals. If you share my tenacious underdog mentality, know you deserve to be in a better place in life, and want someone to help you punch above your weight and navigate all the twists and turns, I am the coach for you!

MBA from Chicago Booth. I've spent my career at the intersection of strategy and operations — leading GTM strategy at Yext, driving Rokt's $325M Series E to a ~$2B valuation, and running cross-functional strategy and ops as Chief of Staff at Flex. Currently heading up GTM Operations at TLDR Media, where I own revenue operations, pricing strategy, and commercial systems end-to-end. On the coaching side, I've placed candidates into Chicago Booth (5+, including two with scholarships), Harvard Business School, and Stanford GSB — and successfully guided one applicant from a Booth rejection to a Berkeley Haas acceptance. I spent 5 years on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, which gives me a direct lens into how top programs evaluate candidates. I was also co-chair of the Booth Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club and a TA for Commercializing Innovation and Lab to Launch. If you're targeting M7 or top MBA programs and want honest, specific guidance on positioning, essays, and fit — I've been on both sides of the table.

As a coach specializing in MBA admissions, I bring a unique perspective and set of skills to help applicants stand out in the highly competitive landscapes of Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and The Wharton School. Here’s why I am the ideal coach to guide you through this journey: Personal Experience from an Overrepresented Background: I understand the challenges of coming from an overrepresented background in the MBA applicant pool. Having done my undergraduate studies at a middle-of-the-pack state school and working in private equity, I successfully navigated the competitive admissions process myself. This personal experience allows me to empathize deeply with applicants who may feel their backgrounds are too common to stand out. Storytelling Expertise: My specialty lies in transforming seemingly generic profiles into compelling narratives that captivate admissions committees. I focus on helping candidates articulate their unique stories, highlighting the aspects of their experiences and personalities that make them distinct. By uncovering and emphasizing your authentic voice, I ensure that your application paints a vivid and memorable picture of who you are. Comprehensive Application Guidance: I provide end-to-end support throughout the entire application process. From brainstorming essay topics to fine-tuning the final drafts, I am with you every step of the way. My approach ensures that each component of your application—essays, recommendations, interviews—works in harmony to present a cohesive and compelling story. Strategic Application Planning: I help you develop a strategic plan for your application. This includes advising on how to allocate different parts of your narrative to various sections of the application. For example, I might suggest that Recommender A focuses on specific achievements or qualities, allowing you to use your essay space to elaborate on different aspects of your journey, thereby maximizing the impact of each part of your application. Theme and Narrative Integration: One of my key strengths is helping you identify and weave throughlines in your experiences that tie your entire application together. This thematic coherence not only makes your application more compelling but also helps the admissions committee understand your trajectory and potential in a holistic manner. Personalized Coaching: Over the course of our work together, I get to know you on a deep level. This personal connection allows me to tailor my coaching to your specific needs and aspirations, ensuring that the advice and strategies I provide are directly relevant to your unique situation. By working with me, you will not only enhance the quality of your application but also gain a clearer understanding of your own narrative and how to present it powerfully. Let’s work together to turn your application into a compelling story that stands out and captures the attention of the admissions committees at HBS, GSB, and Wharton.

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.

I was invited to interview with all four MBA programs to which I applied (Wharton, HBS, Booth, and Sloan), and I completed this process not too long ago.

Hi, I am a recent graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA '25) who received admittance and over $750k+ in combined scholarship dollars to HBS, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Yale SOM, and Fuqua. During my time at HBS, I was the co-VP of Admissions for the LASO, working hand-in-hand with the HBS admissions team to foster events and outreach. I came to HBS with over 5+years of investment banking experience at Citi and spent my MBA summer as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

I coach prospective MBA applicants who are interested in media, entertainment, and how those industries intersect with the future of tech. Before business school, I worked in management consulting at PwC, and after earning my MBA from Harvard Business School, I successfully pivoted into a role at the intersection of media, entertainment, and technology at Meta. At HBS, I served as President of the Entertainment & Media Club and as VP of Admissions for the African American Student Union, and in both roles I coached students through the MBA decision process and application strategy. My approach is objective and practical, focused on “why MBA” clarity, career strategy, narrative development, and essay review, and I also help with test study strategy and prioritization as someone who took multiple approaches to reach the results I needed and understands that process deeply.

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!

I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to plan for the future while you’re still figuring out what direction you want to take. When I first began exploring deferred MBA programs, I was in the same place—unsure exactly what I wanted the next few years to look like but eager to create a foundation of security, growth, and access to further education. For me, the process became as much about self-discovery as it was about applications. It pushed me to reflect deeply on what motivates me, where I’ve created impact, and how I want to continue learning. I’m a recent graduate of Dartmouth College where I studiedEnvironmental Studies and Computer Science. My academic path has centered around using data and systems thinking to address environmental and energy challenges. Professionally, I’ve worked at Amazon in their Energy Portfolio Management team, where I built analytical tools that improved renewable energy data systems and helped manage a $X billion portfolio of energy project securities. I’ve also conducted clean energy and sustainability research through nonprofits and coursework, giving me a strong foundation in both the technical and strategic sides of the climate and business landscape. Across these experiences, I’ve developed a skill set that blends analytical rigor, structured problem-solving, and storytelling, skills that are essential not only in business but also in communicating your unique story to MBA admissions committees. I’ve learned how to identify the throughline across diverse experiences and articulate it in a way that feels authentic and intentional. What I bring to coaching is empathy, structure, and clarity. I’ve been through the uncertainty and pressure of trying to “figure it all out” while still in college, and I know that the deferred MBA process can feel abstract or intimidating at times. My goal is to make it approachable, organized, and deeply personal. Whether you’re just exploring the idea of a deferred MBA or already drafting essays, I’ll help you reflect on your experiences, shape your long-term vision, and communicate your story in a way that feels both strategic and true to you.

I have coached my entire life, beginning with SAT coaching in high school, I enjoy helping motivated individuals reach their goals. My coaching style is transparent, to-the-point, and my desire is to help you reach your maximal potential. I can coach for GS internships / full-time recruiting, PE recruiting, Y-Combinator applications, and HBS applications.
