MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I went through the Executive MBA journey at UCLA Anderson School of Management as a partial scholarship recipient—balancing career, leadership, and real life—and I now help others navigate that same path with more clarity and intention. I work with professionals at every stage of the MBA journey: deciding if it’s the right move, crafting a compelling application story, and leveraging the MBA for real career acceleration afterward. My coaching helps you: Make a clear, confident MBA decision (no overthinking or guesswork) Build a strong, authentic application narrative that stands out Uncover what you are really looking for out of getting a MBA Position your experience and story for top programs Turn your MBA into real momentum in your career—not just a credential

I’ve worked with operators, investors, and founders across different stages of their careers, including many who have used an MBA to pivot, accelerate, or reposition themselves. I completed my MBA at UC Berkeley, and more importantly, I’ve seen how the degree actually plays out in the real world. In my career across private equity, venture building, and now advising founder-led businesses, I’ve seen what the MBA unlocks and where it falls short if not approached intentionally. Getting into a program is only part of the equation. The real value comes from how you position your story, choose the right program, and use the experience to create opportunities on the other side. I work with candidates on both admission strategy and how to think beyond it, so you are not just getting in, but setting yourself up for the outcomes you actually want after graduation.

With extensive experience in career coaching and professional development, I have a proven track record of helping MBA students and professionals achieve their career goals. As a former Associate Director and MBA Career Coach at North Carolina State University, I provided personalized coaching and workshops, achieving a 98%+ satisfaction rate and significantly increasing student participation in national conferences, leading to successful placements at top companies like Amazon and Wells Fargo. My background also includes serving on the admissions committee, where I evaluated candidates for the Full-Time MBA program. At Kindred Compass Coaching, I continue to guide individuals through career pivots and interview strategies, ensuring increased job offers in under four weeks. Let's work together to craft a compelling MBA application and career strategy that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. I have experience working with students from undergraduate to executive MBAs.

I earned my MD/MBA from Stanford and have coached applicants for several years, helping candidates gain admission to selective medical schools and business schools, including Wharton and Stanford GSB. Before focusing on MBA admissions, I worked as a medical school admissions coach, which taught me how to quickly identify what makes an applicant stand out and how to communicate it clearly. My focus is on essays and narrative development--helping clients tell their story in a way that feels authentic, structured, and compelling to admissions committees.
