MBA Admissions Coaches

Harvard Business School MBA Class of 2018

Having gone through the MBA admissions process myself, I know exactly how daunting it can feel, crafting your story, writing essays that stand out, and walking into admissions interviews with confidence. I hold an MBA and MSc in Design Innovation from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, one of the world's top business programs. Born in Shanghai and educated across Hong Kong and the US, I understand the unique challenges international candidates face, from positioning a non-Western career narrative to communicating across cultural contexts in essays and interviews. I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, which allows me to work closely with candidates from Chinese-speaking backgrounds navigating the US admissions process. I help candidates find and articulate their unique story, position their experience compellingly, and prepare for interviews at top programs. Whether you're figuring out which programs to target or polishing your final essays, I'll give you honest, direct feedback that moves your application forward.

My experience as a Consultant at Havoc AI and a Medical Service Corps Officer in the US Navy has honed my skills in leadership and problem-solving, which I leverage to help my clients craft compelling applications.

I’m a Stanford MBA graduate, and I’ve been through the full application process: from shaping my own story to navigating how to present it clearly and coherently. What I realized through that process is that strong applicants aren’t held back by lack of experience, but by how fragmented or unclear their story comes through. I focus on helping you get to that clarity. That means understanding what actually ties your experiences together, what matters (and what doesn’t), and how to communicate it in a way that feels both authentic and compelling. My approach isn’t about over-editing essays. It’s about helping you build a story that holds together across your entire application.
