I have successfully coached many individuals, helping them craft compelling applications that highlight their unique contributions and experiences.

With an MBA from MIT Sloan, an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School, and a BA from Harvard, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table on applying strategically and successfully to some of the most competitive academic programs in the world -- and securing scholarships. I was humbled and grateful to be awarded a Dean's Fellowship (50K/year, 5% of class) to MIT, and a full-tuition Presidential Scholarship (full tuition, 1.5% of class) to HKS, both without additional applications. I understand what it takes to stand out in competitive environments and have successfully helped over a dozen clients in their MBA applications. My professional journey includes management consultant roles at PwC and Booz Allen Hamilton, where I honed my skills in human capital and HR-- skills that give me a unique perspective on recruiting, resume, and cover letter best practices. I am passionate about helping you craft a compelling MBA application that highlights your unique strengths. Let's work together to achieve your academic and professional goals!

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.

A couple years into my time at BCG, I was staring at a blank essay, wondering how to fit my whole story into 500 words. I wrote the “safe version” because that’s what everyone at BCG was doing, and it got me into Wharton and Booth, both with scholarships. But then I decided business school didn't make sense for me at that time, because my answer to Stanford GSB's "What Matters Most" essay read like what I thought the school wanted to hear. I didn't actually know what mattered most to me. A couple years later, with far more clarity, I reapplied to the GSB and answered that essay prompt honestly. What emerged wasn’t designed to impress anyone, but an honest attempt to capture who I am. Many well-meaning readers, including some coaches, told me it needed to be sanitized, edited, rewritten. I trusted my gut, trusted my story, and applied anyway. This past June, I wrapped up my unforgettable journey at Stanford. I coach the way I wish I’d been coached: fewer templates, more truth. I've helped several coachees since share their authentic AND impressive stories, because the two aren't mutually exclusive; I'd argue they're deeply related. If you work with me, my goal is to help you find that version of your story: the one that feels most like you, and helps the reader understand who you are and why you’ll matter.
