MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

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.

MIT. INSEAD. Columbia. LBS. I'll be honest, a few years ago, I wasn't sure I had a shot at any of them. Not a banker. Not a consultant. I started out with internships in marketing, sales, and product during undergrad, then made a pivot into finance that most people told me wouldn't stick. I recently turned down a VC role to take a corporate finance position instead, because I'd rather make the unconventional call I believed in than take the one that looked better on paper. That patchwork: growing up in Lebanon, then studying/working in France, Singapore, the Middle East, and now Toronto isn't the background anyone would design on purpose. But it's the one I learned to own. And getting into 5+ programs taught me that a scattered story, told with intention, can be more compelling than a clean one told without it. I don't coach by handing you a formula. I work with you to figure out what's actually interesting about your path (even the parts that feel like liabilities) and build a strategy around that. If you've ever felt like your background doesn't fit the mold, that's usually exactly where I like to start.

I'm a Stanford GSB MBA graduate, with a wealth of experience in product management and leadership from top companies like Amazon and LendingClub. I've successfully guided clients to admission at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Harvard Business School and Wharton. My approach is tailored to each individual's strengths, ensuring that your unique story stands out to admissions committees.

Outside of my day job, I specialize in helping prospective MBA candidates navigate the competitive landscape of business school admissions. With a rich background in career coaching and extensive industry experience, I have successfully guided numerous clients through pivotal career transitions and application processes. If you are interested in connecting to learn more about the services I can offer, please feel free to connect with me.

As a first-generation college graduate from the South Side of Chicago, I know what it means to navigate the MBA journey without a roadmap. I learned how to manage the entire process, including school research, GMAT/GRE prep, essays, interviews, and funding, by being resourceful, intentional, and strategic. That same scrappiness helped me earn admission to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business with a scholarship. After being admitted, I completed the MLT MBA Prep Accelerated Program, which helped me secure a consulting internship before classes even started. I went into Booth already positioned for success because I understood how powerful it is to prepare early. Over the years, I’ve supported aspiring candidates and consultants through case studies, storytelling, and interview preparation. When you work with me, you can expect support in developing authentic and mission-driven storytelling that reflects your full self. You can expect strategic guidance grounded in lived experience from someone who has navigated this journey with limited resources and still earned admission to a top MBA program. You can also expect clear and actionable feedback that cuts through the noise and helps you strengthen your application. Most importantly, you will have a coach who genuinely believes in your potential and is committed to your success. Pursuing an MBA was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. It expanded my vision of what is possible, reshaped my leadership, and opened doors I never imagined. I want to help you experience that same transformation, no matter where you are starting from.

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.

HBS Class of 2028 | Wharton Admit with 100% Tuition Scholarship | Kellogg (1Y) Admit with Scholarship Understanding a school's brand and values, and connecting your authentic self to them, is the key to setting yourself apart in MBA admissions. I was fortunate to get into all three programs I applied to which I believe is due to how I carefully selected my schools and told my story to each. My specialties: Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA), MBA while married, MBA with children (I have 3 under 5), incorporating my faith in my application, choosing the right programs to apply to.

I bring 20+ years of experience with a robust blend of technical, strategic, and leadership expertise to my coaching practice.

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.
