MBA Admissions Coaches

HBS MBA from a non-traditional path — I didn't fit the standard profile and got in anyway. I work with applicants who have compelling stories they haven't yet learned to tell: career changers, founders, first-generation students, and people whose backgrounds don't map neatly onto a consulting or banking trajectory. I help you build an application that's authentically yours and makes the case for why your path is an asset, not an exception.

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from IE Business School, where I was a top 10 student and a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma Honors Society, I bring a strong foundation in technology and innovation to my coaching. My professional journey includes leading strategic operations at AWS, where I manage significant revenue and drive cross-functional initiatives. I have a proven track record of optimizing processes and enhancing productivity, skills that I leverage to help MBA applicants craft compelling applications. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA dreams a reality!

I graduated from Columbia Business School after being admitted to multiple top 20 MBA programs and earning a full ride scholarship for both years. I’ve helped several applicants across the U.S. get into competitive programs by guiding them through every step of the process, including essays, resumes, interviews, and waitlist strategy. As both an MBA grad and a founder, I know how to help you tell a story that’s personal, compelling, and strategic. I believe the best MBA applications come from real self-awareness and clarity, not perfection. Whether you’re just starting your applications or polishing the final draft, I’ll meet you where you are and help you present your best story.

I’m an MIT Sloan MBA and Harvard MPA graduate with 10 years of experience helping applicants earn admission to top MBA and MPA/MPP programs. I’ve advised candidates across the U.S. and Southeast Asia, including early-career professionals, career switchers, public-sector leaders, and startup founders. I also served as a Dartmouth alumni interviewer, giving me insight into how elite schools evaluate applicants beyond the numbers. My approach combines deep narrative strategy with the structured thinking I developed as a former VC, strategy leader, and venture-backed startup CEO.

Having gone through the MBA admissions process myself, I know exactly how daunting it can feel, crafting your story, writing essays that stand out, and walking into admissions interviews with confidence. I hold an MBA and MSc in Design Innovation from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, one of the world's top business programs. Born in Shanghai and educated across Hong Kong and the US, I understand the unique challenges international candidates face, from positioning a non-Western career narrative to communicating across cultural contexts in essays and interviews.
