MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I have over 17+ years of higher education experience and 9 years at Columbia University, serving as a former Director of MBA/EMBA Admissions, and Senior Associate Director for the Columbia Business School Real Estate Center and Alumni Development. I simplify the process with tailored guidance, personalized strategy, and insights earned as a former M7 Admissions Director, helping you build a narrative that feels true to you and compelling to admissions committees. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here and I'd love to help you build successful applications with real results.

Is a full-time MBA right for you? Which schools should you target? What career path fits your goals? I can help you answer these questions with clarity and confidence. With an MBA from Duke’s Fuqua School of Business and admissions offers from other top programs, I’ve guided many applicants through the process, helping them refine their stories, strengthen their materials, and reach their target schools. I know firsthand how challenging MBA applications and post-MBA recruiting can be and how to avoid common pitfalls. I specialize in supporting applicants interested in general management, consulting, and Leadership Development Program (LDP) roles, with particular expertise in Chicago Booth, Duke Fuqua, and BYU Marriott.

As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, I bring a wealth of experience from the retail industry, including leadership positions at Walmart eCommerce and Boll & Branch. My journey through these dynamic environments has equipped me with unique insights into business strategy and consumer behavior, which I leverage to help aspiring MBA students craft compelling applications. I have a strong track record of guiding clients through the intricacies of the MBA admissions process, focusing on application strategy, essay development, and interview preparation.

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.

Hello! I am a current MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I offer a fresh perspective on the MBA application process – I recently underwent the MBA application journey and found success with multiple M7 acceptances while coming from a traditional, overrepresented applicant background. Regardless of an applicant’s hard stats, a successful MBA application requires a compelling story, powerful essays, and a polished resume, crafted via rigorous introspection of one’s experiences, strengths, and gaps. Whether it’s helping you narrow down a list of schools, brainstorming around your story, strategizing/reviewing essays and your resume, or helping prep for interviews, I’m here to provide end-to-end guidance throughout your application journey to help you stand out from the crowd.

I bring 20+ years of experience with a robust blend of technical, strategic, and leadership expertise to my coaching practice. I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and got acceptances from another top 10 school. During that time, I remember the rigors of the MBA admissions process. Fortunately, I had a mentor who helped me during that journey and helped me get into the perfect MBA program for me. And with that, i'd like to do the same for future aspiring MBA students. If you’re ready to start your MBA journey, I’m here to help guide you to get into your top MBA program.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.

I know how overwhelming the graduate school process can feel — because I've spent years on the inside watching talented people struggle to tell their story in a way that truly lands. Having worked in admissions at Georgetown University, the University of Cincinnati, and George Washington University, I've sat across from hundreds of applicants and reviewed thousands of applications. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what committees are genuinely looking for, and more importantly, how to help you present your best self with confidence. My goal has always been to make this process feel less intimidating and more empowering for each student I meet with What drives me is seeing people get into programs they once thought were out of reach. As a current MBA student myself, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be on your side of the process — the self-doubt, the late nights, the endless second-guessing. I've helped students navigate tight deadlines, sharpen their personal statements, and build strategies that resulted in students enrolling in their dream programs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all advice, because your story is unique and deserves to be told that way. When you work with me, you're getting someone who genuinely cares about where you're headed and will be with you every step of the way.

Over 10 years in graduate admissions, I bring a wealth of experience in admissions and recruitment to help you navigate the MBA application process.

I have successfully coached clients, helping them craft compelling applications and secure spots at their dream schools. Let's work together to develop a personalized strategy that highlights your unique strengths and maximizes your chances of success. Reach out to start your journey today!
