As a Wharton MBA graduate who came from a non-traditional background and a non-target undergraduate school, I know what it takes to break into top MBA programs without the typical resume. I didn’t have a brand-name employer or Ivy League degree—and I still earned a spot at one of the world’s most competitive business schools. That journey taught me how to craft a powerful narrative, highlight unconventional strengths, and position unique experiences as assets. I’ve also coached dozens of high school students through college essays, helping them tell authentic, compelling stories that get results. I bring that same insight, structure, and empathy to MBA applicants—especially those who don’t fit the traditional mold but have so much to offer.

Navigating the intersection of law and business requires a specific narrative. As a JD/MBA graduate from the University of Pennsylvania and a former Associate at Skadden, I understand the rigor—and the rewards—of the dual-degree path. I don't just help you apply; I help you articulate a cohesive vision that resonates with both admissions committees. From crafting a "dual-language" personal statement to identifying the professional ROI of the joint degree, I provide the tactical roadmap needed to secure a seat at a top-tier program. Whether you are aiming for a M7 MBA or a T14 Law School—or both—I provide the specialized coaching to ensure your profile stands out in a crowded field.

Hello! As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School and a former Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), I bring a wealth of experience in navigating stressful application processes. My professional journey started at Cornell University, which led me to strategy and operations at JPMorgan Chase & Co. After college, I had a side hustle where I coached high school and college students through college admissions and consulting interview prep (the website is still live if you can find it!). I've successfully coached 20+ clients through the college and consulting application processes, and I'm excited to bring my knowledge and experience to help aspiring MBAs. I have had an incredible experience so far at Wharton, and seek out opportunities for servant leadership and learning, such as being selected as a McNulty Venture Fellow (leading leadership-focused outdoor expeditions globally) and working part-time as a Financial Wellness Peer Educator. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey to a top MBA program!

Candidates, especially ones from common or overpopulated demographics, need to stand out. We will work together so that you are not a one-dimensional candidate in the eyes of the Admissions Committee but one who adds something special to the entering cohort. I have been interviewing candidates as a Kellogg alum since 1993. I recruited Executive MBA candidates for Kellogg throughout Latin America and ran information sessions on the fulltime program while a Kellogg director. Later, I worked several years at two of the larger players in the MBA admissions consulting industry before deciding to offer the same services independently. Clients love my authenticity, enthusiasm, and sense of humor. But while a confessed porphyrophile, I have also helped clients get into a wide range of Top Twenty programs, including the M7.
