4+ years of MBA and GMAT consulting experience. Have supported more than 50 applicants applying to M7 schools. Former US Army Officer.

I'm an enthusiastic and resourceful business professional with a decade of experience in venture capital, entrepreneurship and strategy consulting and an MBA from Harvard Business School. My 99th percentile GMAT score and prior work experience for a test prep company inform my approach to GMAT / GRE prep, but I know that the MBA application process is about more than just a test. I help my clients craft unique, holistic application materials that reflect their qualifications beyond scores and resume bullet points. As part of my admissions guidance I offer career coaching to help clients articulate what they want to get out of their MBA program and why. My versatile career across finance, consulting, and entrepreneurship as well as my prior experience as a career coach at HBS have informed my unique perspective on how to pivot between industries and get the most return on a top tier MBA program.

I was invited to interview with all four MBA programs to which I applied (Wharton, HBS, Booth, and Sloan), and I completed this process not too long ago.

With a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Harvard University and a rich background in Economics (Master's degree) and Business (Bachelor's degree), I bring a unique interdisciplinary approach to MBA admissions consulting. As a consultant with Admitify and The Ivy Institute, I've guided numerous clients through the complexities of graduate school applications, helping them craft compelling narratives that stand out. My experience as a Teaching Fellow at Harvard, where I led courses and discussions, has honed my ability to mentor and support clients in achieving their academic and professional goals. I have successfully guided my clients through the admissions process for elite MBA, master’s, and undergraduate programs. My clients have been accepted to top US MBA programs such as Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Kellogg, and Booth, as well as top global programs such as INSEAD and LBS. I thoroughly enjoy helping my clients position their candidacies and create a compelling narrative and winning application strategy. Whether you're looking to refine your application strategy or need comprehensive support, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA aspirations a reality!

As the current associate director of admissions for IESE Business School in North America, and an MBA graduate from IESE myself, I bring deep, insider knowledge of how top international MBA programs evaluate candidates—because I do it every day. I’ve coached applicants from diverse backgrounds to gain admission (and scholarships!) to the elite European schools including INSEAD, London Business School, HEC Paris, Oxford Saïd, as well as top US programs, including Wharton, Chicago Booth, and Kellogg. I know unique the culture of each admissions team, what makes an application stand out, how to craft a compelling narrative, and how to prepare you to shine in your interviews. I also bring a mentoring approach rooted in logic, self-awareness, and strategic thinking. Whether you’re career-switching, focused on changing countries, targeting scholarships, or just figuring out where you should apply, I’ll help you position your story with authenticity and clarity—so that admissions committees remember you!

I am a student at Harvard Business School. I was admitted to HBS through the 2+2 program and can give application tips to nontraditional MBA candidates, such as students pursuing engineering or STEM paths. Prior to HBS, I was a software engineer at Twitch (Amazon subsidiary) with four years of full stack and machine learning experience. I was also a product manager at TestParty AI, a seed stage startup focused on digital accessibility remediation using AI. Happy to provide coaching on topics related to deferred MBA admissions, big tech, and startups.

I have in depth experience in coaching and mentoring, specifically in the MBA admissions space. I've gone through the process myself with huge success, I've coached prospective students through private coaching, as part of corporate coaching programs, and in support of the HBS admissions process. The reason I think I stand out and have found success as a coach is because I work hard to gain a true understanding of the applicant; to understand their motivations, values, drivers, strengths, and weaknesses. All of that is critical to craft a strong application for elite schools, but maybe more importantly it is critical to provide you the best support that I can. I will be better suited tailor my coaching to your needs, ensure you stay motivated and on track throughout the process, and unlock important insights to make your application stand out.

HBS '23 (MBA with Distinction) | Cambridge MPhil | Non-Traditional Background Coach (Former Diplomat) | Former International MBA Applicant | Coached ~60 people in last decade | My MBA admissions insights are shaped by personal rejection and success across two cycles. Former consulting coach & tutor at HBS. ------------ I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions, having experienced both rejection and success firsthand. After initially being unsuccessful in my applications, I reapplied and secured admission to Harvard Business School (HBS) – without the help of a consultant. Through significant effort and independent research, I gained the insights needed to stand out. Looking back, having a mentor like myself – someone who understands the process and how to succeed – would have made the journey far more efficient. I hold a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick, an MPhil in Development Economics from Jesus College, University of Cambridge, and an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School. As a non-traditional candidate, I became a diplomat at just 25 and served in five High Commissions and Embassies, giving me a unique perspective on navigating the admissions process outside the traditional MBA applicant pool. Over the years, I have mentored numerous aspiring MBA candidates, guiding them through every step of the process, from crafting outstanding applications to excelling in interviews. My proven strategies, built on real-world experience and a track record of success, equip me to help candidates from all backgrounds achieve their MBA aspirations. I know what it takes to succeed because I have lived it – and I am here to help you do the same.

I have always loved writing and crafting a compelling story. I worked in the Office of the CEO at BlackRock for several years, managing both the CEO and the firm’s narrative, and I understand how to appeal to a professional audience while finding space for personality and passion to shine through. I managed my own MBA application process and was admitted to Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton. I received feedback from the admissions counselors at each school and was able to overcome weaknesses in my application through my storytelling and interview skills. I’ve helped clients, friends and peers navigate the process including everything from time management and confidence building to narrative crafting and storytelling. The MBA process is incredibly unique and difficult, and I am excited to help people find their voice and stand out amongst a crowd!
