MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As a Harvard Business School MBA graduate and an experienced investment professional, I bring a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience to the table. I have successfully coached individuals through the MBA application process, helping them craft compelling applications and ace their interviews. My background includes management consulting from a MBB across various sectors and geographies, giving me a unique perspective on how to position yourself when you are thinking of using your MBA to career switch. Let's work together to make your MBA and post MBA dreams a reality—reach out to get started!

I'm a future MBA candidate at Harvard Business School and currently a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group. I’m also the first in my family to graduate from college in the U.S., originally from Monterrey, Mexico. My journey from the University of Texas at Austin to BCG has given me a unique perspective and the tools to help others navigate the MBA admissions process with confidence. Along the way, I was fortunate to be accepted to several top programs, including Stanford GSB, Wharton, London Business School, Chicago Booth, and Duke Fuqua, before ultimately choosing HBS. I work with clients on everything from building a strong application strategy to writing standout essays and preparing for interviews. My goal is to help you present your most authentic and impressive self to top business schools. If you're thinking about an MBA and want guidance from someone who's been through the process, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help you take the next step in your journey.

I bring both personal experience and a track record of helping others successfully navigate competitive graduate admissions. I was admitted to Harvard Business School (attending in Fall 2026) and hold a Master of Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School, and I have spent years helping applicants translate complex, non-linear experiences into compelling application narratives. My background is intentionally non-traditional. I have worked across public policy, social impact, and healthcare innovation, and I understand how challenging it can be to present an unconventional path in a way that resonates with admissions committees. I specialize in helping applicants connect the dots across their experiences — whether they are coming from nonprofits, government, healthcare, startups, or other non-traditional industries — and turning those experiences into clear, cohesive stories about leadership, impact, and future goals. In addition to my own admissions experience, I have coached multiple applicants through competitive graduate admissions processes, including helping candidates secure admission to top MBA and other Master’s programs. Through this work I’ve developed a structured approach to application strategy: identifying the core themes in a candidate’s story, aligning those themes with what schools are looking for, and helping applicants communicate their experiences with clarity and authenticity. My coaching focuses not just on editing essays, but on helping applicants build a strong overall narrative across their resume, essays, and interviews so that every part of the application reinforces the same clear story about who they are and the impact they want to have. More than anything, I work to help applicants feel confident in themselves and their applications throughout the process. I know how daunting and stressful applying can be and I am here to try to make the process easier!

Welcome to my profile! As a member of the HBS Class of 2028, with admissions and scholarship offers from multiple M7 and T15 programs, I bring a strategic and structured approach to MBA admissions coaching. Coming from a non-traditional STEM background, I’m especially well-positioned to help candidates who don’t fit the “traditional” MBA mold translate their unique experiences into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with admissions committees. My background in management consulting and client services has trained me to ask the right questions, uncover what truly differentiates your story, and communicate those ideas clearly - skills I apply directly to reviewing essays, resumes, and interview prep. Given my consulting background, I'm also highly mindful of working efficiently within your budget, accustomed to quick turnarounds on tight timelines, and flexible in customizing support to meet your specific needs. Having also personally tested nearly every major MBA prep resource (e.g., Applicant Lab, Forte MBA Launch, Target Test Prep, GMAT and GRE official materials, Magoosh, and others), I can offer candid guidance on which additional tools are actually worth your time and investment. My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and help get you to a point where you can submit strong applications that feel authentic, polished, and confident.
