I was admitted to Booth, Kellogg (MMM Program), and Wharton, all on merit scholarships ranging from 25-75% tuition coverage. I was an Admissions Fellow at Wharton, speaking to and interviewing over 300 candidates.

As a graduate of the Full-Time MBA program at the Johnson School at Cornell combined with 5+ years of experience coaching full-time MBA students on career goals and the recruiting processes, my approach to MBA admissions is a little different. Many enter with the goal "I want to get into school X." I prefer to zoom out and ask two simple questions: - What are your short-term MBA career goals? - What type of experience do you want for the duration of the two-year program? Answering these questions honestly will help you better develop a target school list and be able to better articulate in your essays and in the admissions interview why an MBA makes sense for you, ,why that school is the best fit, and what your short and long term career goals are post MBA. There's a lot more to getting a Full-Time MBA than going to the highest ranked school you can get into, because those rankings don't take into account your personal goals and preferences.

I’m an HBS MBA and BCG consultant who has helped applicants earn admits to top MBA programs including HBS, Kellogg, Booth, Yale, Ross, and more. I specialize in helping strong candidates who don’t have “perfect” profiles, especially consultants outside MBB or applicants who feel they don’t stand out on paper, craft a differentiated story that resonates with admissions committees. Clients I’ve worked with have earned admits across multiple M7 and T15 programs with scholarships. When I first applied to business school, I didn’t receive a single interview. I didn’t understand how to position my background in a crowded pool of high-achieving applicants. The following year, I rebuilt my approach, earned multiple admits with full rides, and ultimately attended Harvard Business School. Since then, I’ve worked closely with applicants across the full process through school selection, essays, and interviews to help them stand out and convert at top programs. If you feel like you’re in the “middle of the pack” but know you’re capable of more, I can help you turn that into a compelling, differentiated application. I've successfully guided many clients through the MBA application process, helping them craft compelling narratives for M7 admits. Whether you're looking to refine your application strategy or need insights into the consulting world, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA goals. Let's connect and make your application stand out! I am especially interested in helping folks coming from non MBB consulting backgrounds to stand out in an extremely competitive applicant pool.

A couple years into my time at BCG, I was staring at a blank essay, wondering how to fit my whole story into 500 words. I wrote the “safe version” because that’s what everyone at BCG was doing, and it got me into Wharton and Booth, both with scholarships. But then I decided business school didn't make sense for me at that time, because my answer to Stanford GSB's "What Matters Most" essay read like what I thought the school wanted to hear. I didn't actually know what mattered most to me. A couple years later, with far more clarity, I reapplied to the GSB and answered that essay prompt honestly. What emerged wasn’t designed to impress anyone, but an honest attempt to capture who I am. Many well-meaning readers, including some coaches, told me it needed to be sanitized, edited, rewritten. I trusted my gut, trusted my story, and applied anyway. This past June, I wrapped up my unforgettable journey at Stanford. I coach the way I wish I’d been coached: fewer templates, more truth. I've helped several coachees since share their authentic AND impressive stories, because the two aren't mutually exclusive; I'd argue they're deeply related. If you work with me, my goal is to help you find that version of your story: the one that feels most like you, and helps the reader understand who you are and why you’ll matter.
