When I was in your shoes, I could not afford an admissions consulting firm, or to pay a former adcom member who only understands how one school thinks. I personally authored 100% of my end-to-end applications (essays, CVs, interview preparation, etc.) without these resources. Through a deep understanding of how to craft an authentic application, I was admitted to four Ivy League undergraduate schools, as well as to all three of the deferred MBA programs: HBS 2+2, Stanford Deferred Enrollment, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars program. My clients have been admitted to all SEVEN top MBA programs, including all three deferred MBA programs. I coach to give prospective students like you access to gold-standard application prep that will turbocharge your ability to land admissions ACROSS all top business schools: -- Without the admissions consulting firm price tag -- With the perspective of someone who has been admitted to and attended multiple Ivy League schools (vs. an adcom member who only understands the perspective of one) 💯

As a Harvard Business School graduate, I know how transformative a top tier MBA degree can be. At the same time, I appreciate how challenging it can be to navigate the competitive admissions process. Nailing the GMAT/GRE, building a compelling narrative, developing a strategy for where to apply, and navigating interviews requires a tailored approach that is uniquely you. I come from an engineering background, working in medical devices for several years at Abbott prior to business school. After business school, I joined McKinsey where I helped companies navigate difficult strategic challenges largely in healthcare. My background in engineering and consulting equips me with a unique perspective to help you craft a distinctive application. Whether you need assistance with application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals!

I'm an MIT grad and current MBA student at Columbia Business School, but more importantly, I've spent years evaluating what makes candidates truly stand out. My background in buy-side equity research at firms like T. Rowe Price and BlackRock taught me to identify what's genuinely differentiated, and that skill translates directly to helping you craft a compelling MBA application. I've recently been through the process you're facing. I know what it takes to get into a top program, how to articulate your career narrative when the stakes are high, and how to position yourself authentically in a sea of high-achievers. Whether you're coming from finance, tech, consulting, or a non-traditional background, I genuinely believe every candidate has a unique value proposition. We just need to uncover it and communicate it effectively. Beyond the essays, I'm here to help you think strategically about school selection, interview preparation, and how to tell your story in a way that resonates with admissions committees. No cookie-cutter advice. No generic frameworks. Just honest conversation about your strengths, your goals, and how to present the best version of yourself. Let's make this process feel less overwhelming and more like the strategic challenge it is. You've got this. I'm just here to help you show it.

Non-traditional applicant with a variety of different career experiences who received acceptances from all top programs.

Recently went through the GMAT and business school application processes. Starting at Harvard Business School in August-2024.

As a Harvard Business School and Kennedy School graduate with extensive experience across venture capital, investment management, impact investing, and startup operations, I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions coaching that combines elite academic credentials with real-world business impact. During my dual-degree program, I served as a Rock Center Fellow, student government officer, and was selected for HBS' inaugural RISE Career Fellowship, giving me deep insights into what top business schools value in candidates. I also believe in helping candidates think holistically about the application process, including how this might impact their lives financially and personally. I'm particularly passionate about helping candidates from non-traditional paths, drawing from my own experience. Let's work together to showcase your unique story and secure your spot at your dream school!

Outside of my day job, I specialize in helping prospective MBA candidates navigate the competitive landscape of business school admissions.

I recently graduated with MBA from INSEAD. I was invited for the interviews from INSEAD and HBS despite being in an over-represented demographic. As a non-traditional applicant myself, I completely understand your weaknesses and strengths. I found it essential and extremely helpful to get relevant feedback from experts while building a strong narrative in an extremely competitive pool. And I would like to give back to prospective students who are in my shoes to share my experiences and lessons learnt, and provide the right guidance for you to succeed. As a coach, I will help you to reflect your true personality and character as authentically as possible while crafting a strong foundation for your essays and overall application strategy. I not only help my clients coach on applications and school selection but also keep in touch with them through their journey of completing their MBA, help make right career decisions, and share my life experiences with them. With prior clients I have typically focused on: - Writing a standout essay that reflects your personality as a whole considering with what the school is looking for - Adapting your resume to the appropriate MBA school audience - Choosing the right references and how to initiate conversation with them for strong references
