Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from MIT Sloan and a Master’s in International and Public Affairs from Columbia Business School, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. My professional journey spans roles at top companies like Nike, Hinge, and Nasdaq, where I honed my skills in product management and marketing. I have successfully coached 5 clients, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process and secure spots at their dream schools. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique strengths and experiences. Reach out to get started!

Graduated from Kellogg School of Management's Full-time MBA program in 2018 - Accepted to 3 Top Tier MBA schools, received significant scholarships to all schools ($250k in total) and achieved 750 GMAT score. I have personal experience advising co-workers and peers on applications, including resume review, essays, and interviews. Post-Kellogg, I served as an Alumni interviewer and have a unique perspective into what it takes to stand out and how to best prepare.

Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and work together to achieve your MBA goals! I applied to only two business schools - Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business - and was admitted to both schools coming from a more traditional background (investment banking and private equity). I have spent extensive time thinking through how to best position yourself early on in your career if you want to differentiate yourself for business school one day, and I am happy to support those who are both currently applying or thinking of applying in the future.

As an alum of Harvard Business and Kennedy Schools, I navigated multiple graduate degree admissions processes. I’ve worked with candidates who have successfully applied to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, and other top MBA programs. I started my career at Bain & Company and then worked in tech (biz ops and growth) before grad school. I have been closely involved in civic and public service opportunities including working at the US Treasury and serving as a State Delegate prior to school. While in my three-year MPP and MBA program, I worked in Venture Capital and Growth Equity investing at Norwest Venture Partners, Floodgate Ventures, and Summit Partners. I now run Growth Strategy @ Carta, a $7B tech co in Silicon Valley. I coach in my spare time because I love helping candidates distill their stories and present the best version of themselves to adcoms! When I applied, my partner was also interested in an MBA -- we wanted to maximize our chances of living in the same city during school, which led us to deeply research and contact admissions and alumni at all top 7 MBA programs to ensure we understood how we would be evaluated. After hundreds of hours of research myself, there is nothing I love more than being able to share that knowledge strategically & concisely with applicants. I particularly enjoy working with dual-degree candidates, candidates with public/non-profit sector experience and candidates interested in emerging tech and Venture Capital. As someone who applied with a partner, I can also speak to how various degree programs consider partner applications and strategy around managing dual-MBA families.
