I’m a CPA and a Tax Manager at Deloitte. I’m on Leland because I know what it’s like to feel "pigeonholed" in a highly technical, niche role while eyeing a top-tier MBA. I successfully pivoted from Big 4 Tax to securing Full-Ride Scholarships at both Chicago Booth and Northwestern Kellogg, along with admission and scholarship offers from MIT Sloan, Columbia (CBS), Yale SOM, Duke Fuqua, Dartmouth Tuck and NYU Stern. My focus is helping "quiet" professionals translate their technical rigor into the high-impact leadership stories that M7 schools look for. I’ve lived the 60+ hour work week grind while navigating the application cycle, and I’m here to help you audit your own experience to find the threads that lead to an M7 acceptance (and hopefully with scholarships).

As a Wharton MBA grad (top 10% of my class) and former student admissions interviewer, I know what top programs are really looking for. I was also admitted to MIT Sloan and Tuck and understand how to navigate the process with clarity and confidence. Professionally, I’ve worked in healthcare strategy at McKinsey, social impact investing at Roivant, and early-stage startups, so I get both traditional and nontraditional paths. I’ve helped applicants craft bold, authentic stories that resonate with admissions teams. Let’s make yours stand out.

Hi, I’m Avi! I grew up in Singapore, graduated from NYU Stern (summa cum laude), and now work as a BCG consultant. I’m passionate about helping applicants tell authentic, compelling stories. I was admitted to Wharton, Kellogg, and MIT Sloan with scholarships and know what top schools are really looking for in their admissions processes. I have successfully coached individuals on deferred and full-time MBA admissions - whether you need help with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out for an intro call - I look forward to working together to make your MBA aspirations a reality!

I was an alumni MBA school interviewer so I know what schools look for. I was also an MBA coach once in school and so I also know what it takes to be successful once you're in.

I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to plan for the future while you’re still figuring out what direction you want to take. When I first began exploring deferred MBA programs, I was in the same place—unsure exactly what I wanted the next few years to look like but eager to create a foundation of security, growth, and access to further education. For me, the process became as much about self-discovery as it was about applications. It pushed me to reflect deeply on what motivates me, where I’ve created impact, and how I want to continue learning. I’m a recent graduate of Dartmouth College where I studiedEnvironmental Studies and Computer Science. My academic path has centered around using data and systems thinking to address environmental and energy challenges. Professionally, I’ve worked at Amazon in their Energy Portfolio Management team, where I built analytical tools that improved renewable energy data systems and helped manage a $X billion portfolio of energy project securities. I’ve also conducted clean energy and sustainability research through nonprofits and coursework, giving me a strong foundation in both the technical and strategic sides of the climate and business landscape. Across these experiences, I’ve developed a skill set that blends analytical rigor, structured problem-solving, and storytelling, skills that are essential not only in business but also in communicating your unique story to MBA admissions committees. I’ve learned how to identify the throughline across diverse experiences and articulate it in a way that feels authentic and intentional. What I bring to coaching is empathy, structure, and clarity. I’ve been through the uncertainty and pressure of trying to “figure it all out” while still in college, and I know that the deferred MBA process can feel abstract or intimidating at times. My goal is to make it approachable, organized, and deeply personal. Whether you’re just exploring the idea of a deferred MBA or already drafting essays, I’ll help you reflect on your experiences, shape your long-term vision, and communicate your story in a way that feels both strategic and true to you.

Hi there! As a deferred admit to the Stanford Graduate School of Business, I have firsthand experience navigating the MBA admissions process.
