MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Welcome to my profile! I bring deep experience in MBA admissions, having previously served as the Assistant Director of Admissions at the Kellogg School of Management, where I helped shape recruitment strategies that elevated the quality and diversity of incoming classes. I currently continue to support Kellogg as an application evaluator, reviewing materials and interviewing candidates for both the Evening & Weekend and Full-Time MBA programs. In addition to my admissions background, I work in executive recruitment at Hunt Club. This dual perspective allows me to understand the full arc of the MBA journey—from what top programs seek in applicants to how graduates ultimately position themselves for high-impact leadership roles. Drawing on this combined expertise, I’ve coached more than 100 applicants on how to present the strongest possible version of their story. I specialize in essay development, overall application strategy, résumé refinement, and guidance on how to position yourself effectively—along with key do’s and don’ts that can make or break an application. If you’re looking to elevate your MBA application with expert, insider-informed support, I’d love to help you get there.

MBA Deferred Admit to Wharton Business School, MIT Sloan, and Yale SOM. My university is a non-target school for top graduate programs with around a ~67.6% admission rate and an unranked business school by USNews. The total student population of CSUF's business college is around 9,000+, and I was successful in differentiating myself and being the very first deferred MBA admit out of my university.
