As a recent graduate of UC Berkeley's MBA/MPH program, I’m passionate about helping others achieve their personal and professional aspirations. During my time at Haas, I gained unique insights into the MBA admissions process as an official student ambassador interacting with hundreds of applicants. I also worked in the career center, where I reviewed dozens of resumes and cover letters and led mock interviews for roles in healthcare, tech, and consulting. As a public speaking coach, I supported 25 students, including non-native English speakers, in building confidence and communication skills. When I applied to MBA programs, I worried that my non-linear career path and undergraduate grades would hold me back. By crafting and executing upon a clear application strategy, I earned scholarships to multiple T15 schools, including my dream program. I understand the challenges of navigating this process and want to help you present your best self to admissions committees. Let’s work together to make your MBA goals a reality!

Welcome to my profile, and thanks for being here on this important path you’ve embarked on - MBA applications! I am a Harvard Business School Class of 2025 graduate, and I’m excited to help others navigate this journey. My own path to business school was anything but traditional: I moved to the U.S. from Turkey to attend the University of Chicago. Unlike most business school applicants, I left consulting within a year and joined a small startup that later went public. I was fortunate to be admitted to both MIT Sloan with a scholarship and HBS, and can confidently say I know how to package a unique background into a compelling application. I’m especially passionate about helping nontraditional and international candidates stand out. I speak Turkish and love supporting Turkish applicants in particular. Whether you're refining your essays, preparing for interviews, or figuring out your overall strategy, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s connect and get started on your MBA journey!
