MBA Admissions Coaches

Former Assoc. Director of Admissions at UC Irvine

I’m an HBS MBA, former Deloitte consultant, and former Head of Talent Acquisition at a publicly traded biotech company. I work with people from nontraditional backgrounds who are applying to top MBA programs and need help telling a story that actually stands out. My sweet spot is candidates outside the usual MBB and finance tracks who know they’re strong but aren’t sure how to position themselves. My own path to business school wasn’t typical either. I studied sociology in undergrad and nearly pursued PhD programs before finding my way to HBS. I’ve reviewed thousands of resumes, been published twice, and helped many friends through admissions, including several who got into HBS. If your profile doesn’t immediately scream “top MBA admit” but you know there’s a strong story there, I’d love to help you bring it out.

Nice to see you here! As a Stanford GSB MBA graduate and former MLT MBA Prep fellow, I bring a wealth of experience and insight into the MBA admissions process. My professional journey includes roles as Chief of Staff at Tredence, as well as a Summer MBA Internship at Google, which have equipped me with a deep understanding of strategic and operational leadership. With a background in consulting at Accenture, I have honed my skills in strategic analysis, which I leverage to help my clients craft compelling applications. Having coached multiple individuals through an admission prep company I co-founded, I am passionate about guiding aspiring MBA candidates to achieve their dreams. Let's connect and build your path to success together!

I’m a CPA and a Tax Manager at Deloitte. I’m on Leland because I know what it’s like to feel "pigeonholed" in a highly technical, niche role while eyeing a top-tier MBA. I successfully pivoted from Big 4 Tax to securing Full-Ride Scholarships at both Chicago Booth and Northwestern Kellogg, along with admission and scholarship offers from MIT Sloan, Columbia (CBS), Yale SOM, Duke Fuqua, Dartmouth Tuck and NYU Stern. My focus is helping "quiet" professionals translate their technical rigor into the high-impact leadership stories that M7 schools look for. I’ve lived the 60+ hour work week grind while navigating the application cycle, and I’m here to help you audit your own experience to find the threads that lead to an M7 acceptance (and hopefully with scholarships).

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Columbia Business School and an exchange program at HEC Paris, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in marketing and brand management from top companies like Amazon, Walmart, and Colgate-Palmolive. I spent the past few years deep in the MBA land, though the application process and attending full time or two years. I have also successfully coached clients who have gotten into Columbia, Duke, Ross, etc and helped them craft compelling MBA applications that stand out. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA dreams. Let's connect and create a personalized plan for your success!

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this exciting step in your MBA journey! I was in your shoes not so long ago, and I hope to be a trusted coach and resource for you along the way as you work toward admission to a top MBA program. I help prospective applicants develop a clear, competitive strategy by working closely with them to assess whether an MBA is the right next step, strategize the appropriate application round, build a thoughtful target school list, define compelling short- and long-term post-MBA goals, and craft a personal narrative that connects their experience, leadership, and future vision into a persuasive application. As a Student Life Fellow at Wharton, I support admitted students and have been trained to answer nuanced questions about academics, student life, clubs, and the day-to-day experience of an MBA program. I also provide specialized guidance for applicants pursuing Wharton’s highly selective Health Care Management (HCM) program, including how to approach the application and interview process. In addition, I help candidates prepare for Wharton’s unique Team Based Discussion (TBD) interview by strengthening how they communicate, think strategically, and contribute with confidence in a collaborative group setting. I look forward to helping you put forward your strongest application and move closer to your MBA goals.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in product management at top-tier companies like Intuit, Meta, Oracle, and Apple, I bring a wealth of industry experience to my MBA coaching. I hold an MBA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Bachelor's from Georgia Tech, equipping me with a strong academic foundation. My journey through diverse roles has honed my skills in strategic thinking and leadership, which I now leverage to help aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications. Whether you need guidance on essays, interviews, or overall application strategy, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and make your MBA dreams a reality!

I know how overwhelming the graduate school process can feel — because I've spent years on the inside watching talented people struggle to tell their story in a way that truly lands. Having worked in admissions at Georgetown University, the University of Cincinnati, and George Washington University, I've sat across from hundreds of applicants and reviewed thousands of applications. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what committees are genuinely looking for, and more importantly, how to help you present your best self with confidence. My goal has always been to make this process feel less intimidating and more empowering for each student I meet with What drives me is seeing people get into programs they once thought were out of reach. As a current MBA student myself, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be on your side of the process — the self-doubt, the late nights, the endless second-guessing. I've helped students navigate tight deadlines, sharpen their personal statements, and build strategies that resulted in students enrolling in their dream programs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all advice, because your story is unique and deserves to be told that way. When you work with me, you're getting someone who genuinely cares about where you're headed and will be with you every step of the way.

I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA candidates craft compelling applications and navigate the admissions process with confidence.
