For 10 years, the Harvard Business School MBA felt like a distant dream. I didn’t come from a target school, a brand-name firm, or a background admissions committees are used to saying “yes” to. No one from my undergrad, master’s, or organization had ever gone to HBS. Coming from an over-represented pool made it even harder. But I still got in. I did it by understanding what elite MBA programs actually look for and by crafting a story that stood out in a sea of similar profiles. Today, I coach applicants from non-traditional and over-represented backgrounds to do the same. I’ve walked this path myself. I’ll help you walk it smarter.

My journey in education has equipped me with a unique blend of experiences, making me an ideal MBA admissions coach.

My work has directly impacted students from diverse backgrounds, helping them gain admission to prestigious programs like Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School, Yale Business School, MIT, and many others. As a graduate of New York University and Columbia Business School, I've navigated the rigorous demands of competitive academic environments firsthand, translating these insights into actionable strategies for my clients. What sets me apart is not just my academic and professional background, but my personalized approach to coaching. I believe in tailoring my strategies to the unique stories and aspirations of each student, focusing on crafting compelling narratives that highlight their strengths and potential. My global perspective, combined with an intimate understanding of the nuances of MBA admissions, allows me to guide clients through the complex process with confidence and clarity. Partnering with me means gaining an advisor who's committed to your success, leveraging every piece of my experience to help you articulate your vision and achieve your MBA aspirations.
