MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

With an MBA from Oxford's Said Business School and a Master in Public Policy from Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, I bring a blend of business and social impact into my coaching. My professional journey includes roles at Bain & Company, The Global Fund, and the Inter-American Development Bank, where I focused on finance and strategy. I successfully mentored and coached individuals in the MBA process, from navigating and selecting which MBA were the best "fit" (1 year, 2 year, or part-time MBA programs, dual or joint degrees; in the US, UK, or Europe), providing guidance in their application (e.g., reviewing CV or resumes, personal statements or essays) and preparing for interviews for Oxford SBS and other MBA programs in the US. Additionally, I provide support in applying for graduate scholarships, including MBA scholarships, as a scholar and recipient of highly competitive programs. Whether you're refining your educational strategy, applications, essays or preparing for interviews, I look forward to helping you succeed in your MBA aspirations!

I just completed one of the most competitive MBA application cycles in history, earning admission to MIT Sloan (where I'll be attending), Columbia Business School, Kellogg, Booth, and Stern—with interviews at 6 of the 7 M7 schools I applied to. But what truly qualifies me as a coach isn't just my own success—it's my passion for teaching. I currently guest lecture at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and have spent years mentoring Accenture analysts, teaching underprivileged children in India, and leading pro-bono consulting projects. My family's legacy in education taught me that the best coaches don't just know the material; they genuinely care about their students' success. As a strategy consultant at Accenture for 4 years, I've honed the storytelling, analytical, and strategic thinking skills that make MBA applications successful. I've lived this process recently and intimately, tackling diverse essay formats and navigating competitive interview processes. I succeeded as a public university graduate breaking into M7 schools and understand how to position unique backgrounds as strengths. Whether you're a consultant looking to differentiate yourself, a public university grad aiming for M7, or someone with a mission-driven story to tell, I'll bring a data-driven, personalized approach to help you craft a winning narrative.

As an MBA candidate at Stanford Graduate School of Business and a UCLA Business Economics graduate, I bring years of mentoring and finance experience to my coaching.

I have successfully coached a handful of individuals, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process with personalized strategies. I have gone through the application process twice, with the second time landing me at my dream school. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA goals. Let's connect and chart your path to success!
