MBA Admissions Coaches

I’m a current Berkeley Haas MBA who cracked admission to one of the most selective, culture‑driven programs out there (top 3 Bloomberg 2025) — and I know exactly what “Haas‑material” looks like to the admissions team from the inside. Shoot me a message to learn more.

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 :)

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at The Wharton School, I bring a firsthand, insider perspective to the MBA admissions process, having successfully navigated it myself. I was admitted to and offered scholarships by several top business schools, including Columbia Business School, Kellogg, and Tuck, giving me a broad view into what different programs value and how strong applications stand out. After business school, I will be pivoting into real estate investment banking at a bulge bracket bank. Professionally, my background spans finance, law, and strategy. I have worked as a Portfolio Manager and Strategist at the real estate fund AGW Partners, as well as in various roles at the international law firm, Kobre & Kim. I also bring many years of mentorship experience through America Needs You and Big Brothers Big Sisters, helping students identify their strengths, build confidence, and translate their experiences into compelling narratives. I am especially passionate about working with candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, including those looking to pivot from fields like law or other professional services into business. Whether you need support with essays, interviews, or overall application strategy, I aim to provide thoughtful, practical guidance that helps you present your story clearly and authentically. I would love to contribute my firsthand experience and help you shine in the application process.

I hold degrees from Harvard, MIT, Wharton, and Stanford—giving me firsthand experience navigating multiple highly selective MBA and graduate programs. As a Stanford GSB Sloan Fellow (MSx), Wharton MBA/Lauder MA graduate, former INSEAD exchange student, and London Business School admit, I don’t just understand elite admissions—I’ve done it repeatedly across U.S. and European systems. Today I’m an active entrepreneur, investor, and board member: co-founder of an AI-native digital health company operating in Mexico, partner at a real estate private equity firm, and founding partner of a venture firm. I’ve also guest lectured at Stanford School of Medicine and MIT. That means my coaching isn’t just about getting in—it’s about building a credible, compelling story that matches what top programs are actually trying to select: leaders who will execute and create impact after graduation. I work with both U.S. and international applicants (with deep experience advising Latin American candidates; I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese). My specialty is fit-first strategy: identifying the programs that best match your goals (not simply the highest-ranked), then translating your profile into a sharp positioning, essays that sound like you at your best, and confident interview performance. Whether you’re targeting an M7, a top European program, or a non-traditional path like MSx/Sloan Fellows or joint degrees, I’ll help you apply—and choose—wisely.

As a Harvard Business School graduate, I know how transformative a top tier MBA degree can be. At the same time, I appreciate how challenging it can be to navigate the competitive admissions process. Nailing the GMAT/GRE, building a compelling narrative, developing a strategy for where to apply, and navigating interviews requires a tailored approach that is uniquely you. I come from an engineering background, working in medical devices for several years at Abbott prior to business school. After business school, I joined McKinsey where I helped companies navigate difficult strategic challenges largely in healthcare. My background in engineering and consulting equips me with a unique perspective to help you craft a distinctive application.

I approached the business school application process with a sense of diversity that mirrored my background and it helped me get accepted to both Harvard and Stanford along the way. I have a strong background in finance (investment banking and private equity) but am also not afraid to leverage my human side: I’m an immigrant from Argentina who lived around the world (including china), I do improv and stand-up comedy, I’m a video game nerd and gym bro and more! The key to getting into a good business school is to BE YOU (seriously)! Whether you need assistance with application strategy, essay editing, or interview preparation, I am here to guide you every step of the way and help you tell YOUR story.
