MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I applied only to Stanford GSB, in Round 3, and got in — without any external help or review. I built my application from the ground up, relying on reflection, storytelling, and clarity about what I wanted to say. I’ve since spoken with countless successful applicants, and one thing is clear: beyond your GMAT or GPA, it’s the power of your story that makes the difference. I can help you think deeply about your experiences, identify key themes, and choose stories that resonate. I’ll also help you explore what you might want to get out of business school and what potential paths you could write about — and pursue. Whether you’re just getting started or refining your final application, I’m here to help you make it real, personal, and unforgettable.

The choice to pursue an MBA is a significant investment of time and resources, and it deserves a thoughtful approach. I'll partner with you on any and all parts of your process. I'm a Ross MBA (University of Michigan) with admissions committee experience at Ross. I've spent the last 15 years successfully coaching MBA applicants through the admissions process with my own firm (MBA Pathfinders) and with top-rated consulting firms (Stacy Blackman and mbaMission), and have helped clients earn admission to HBS, GSB, Wharton, Booth, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Columbia, Haas, Stern, Darden, Tuck, Johnson, Darden, INSEAD, and many others. I've collaborated with a range of candidates, and have had great success with those from more traditional backgrounds seeking a way to stand out among a sea of qualified peers, as well as those from non-traditional backgrounds who need guidance articulating how their talents and aspirations will fit into an MBA class. If you're looking for a seasoned, professional coach who's seen it all and can help guide you through the whole process, let's work together!

Welcome! As an HBS 2+2 admit, I offer my firsthand perspective navigating the application process while a student studying global health / health administration. Deferred programs value 'non-traditional' backgrounds, whether that be academic, professional, or something else entirely. My strength is identifying and crystallizing unique narratives that will be compelling for interview and application reader alike. Prior to matriculation at HBS, I've spent years in other highly competitive fellowship / professional experiences: Fulbright in Taiwan, Bain AC, and Schwarzman Scholar (<3% acceptance rate at the #1 university in Asia). My approach to coaching is collaborative, curious, and excited to help. Let's connect and figure out your best path to success!

I’m an MIT Sloan MBA and Harvard MPA graduate with 10 years of experience helping applicants earn admission to top MBA and MPA/MPP programs. I’ve advised candidates across the U.S. and Southeast Asia, including early-career professionals, career switchers, public-sector leaders, and startup founders. I also served as a Dartmouth alumni interviewer, giving me insight into how elite schools evaluate applicants beyond the numbers. My approach combines deep narrative strategy with the structured thinking I developed as a former VC, strategy leader, and venture-backed startup CEO. I help applicants clarify their positioning, articulate a compelling career story, and craft essays that reflect authenticity, impact, and direction. I specialize in helping international applicants, especially from Southeast Asia, translate complex professional achievements into powerful, concise narratives that resonate with admissions committees. If you're applying to competitive MBA or dual-degree programs, I’ll help you communicate your value with precision and confidence while strengthening your essays, resume, recommendations, and interview performance.

As a co-founder of HiveLend and a founding team member at Rabobank's Project ACORN, I have a strong background in entrepreneurship and sustainable development.

Applying to business school can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a perfect GMAT score, a built-in network, or a professional background to set you apart. I know, because I’ve been there. I grew up in a low-income community, worked my way into Deloitte, and earned admission to Harvard Business School without the kind of advantages many applicants rely on. I’ve also coached consultants and bankers who worried they’d blend into the crowd. What I’ve learned is that admissions committees aren’t just looking for high scores and polished resumes—they’re looking for people with a story. I help applicants surface the experiences, values, and strengths that make them memorable and compelling, even when they feel “average” on paper. From tackling essays and refining resumes to interview prep and recommender strategy, I’ll help you package your experiences into an authentic narrative that opens doors.

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.
