Welcome to my profile! As a Harvard Business School MBA graduate, I share what works well and what does not!

Was admitted to multiple M7 business schools and was the Veteran's association Co-President at MIT Sloan where I analyzed many applications for MIT and other business schools. In my coaching career, I have assisted 100+ candidates applying to business schools (mostly M7 but have experience across most T20) and provided coaching on school selection, resume reviews, essay storylining and brainstorming, as well as interview preparation. With all of my clients I ensure that their application brings together many unique perspectives, and I focus on helping them craft and tell powerful stories that will capture admission committee attention.

Welcome! European, without a consulting or finance background, never been in the US, no Ivy League undergrad… I once thought joining Stanford GSB would be impossible. But by being strategic, resourceful, and persistent, I made it happen ! And now I want others to pursue the same path and made their dream happen ! That is why I am on Leland ! For over 12 years, I built a career in telecom across France, Spain, South Korea and Poland, leading large teams and managing multi-hundred-million-dollar businesses. On paper, I didn’t fit the “classic” MBA mold. Yet through careful storytelling, clear positioning, and a deep understanding of what schools truly value, I turned what seemed like weaknesses into my greatest strengths. My journey showed me that admissions success is about owning your story, showing your potential, and finding the right strategy to shine. Along the way, I’ve coached dozens of applicants, especially international students, helping them break through their doubts and land at the GSB. I know how transformative the right mentorship can be, because I’ve lived it. Now, I’m here to pay it forward. If you’re ready to pursue your dream, I’d be glad to guide you step by step.

I am a current student of the Kellogg School of Management, with previous work experience within management consulting and in two high growth startups in NYC . I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor of science in Finance and received my masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management. After school, I spent some time at management consulting firm Guidehouse Consulting before I transitioned to a Series B Unicorn food tech startup called Gorillas - the fastest European startup to ever reach a $1B valuation. I led the growth function at Gorillas for one year until I was offered the opportunity to lead North American expansion for micro-mobility startup Zoomo. At Zoomo I led our expansion into new markets, including launching our first Canadian operations. As an applicant from an over-represented demographic with a sub-optimal GMAT score and a lack of "prestigious" work experience I was able to navigate the application process and successfully land multiple top business school admits. As a coach, I plan to teach you the tips and tricks necessary to be successful in the ultra-competitive business school admissions cycle. I had immense success with gaining admission to a number of M7 and Top 10 schools including Kellogg, Yale, and Dartmouth Tuck. Areas I feel I can particularly bring value in coaching include: MBA Coaching: - Crafting a compelling and cohesive story (theme) for your application even with an untraditional work background or sub-optimal GMAT / GRE score. - Helping you stand out to the admissions committee as an over-represented applicant - Writing compelling and effective essays - 6+ month out application plan with a detailed breakdown of your application journey schedule - Preparing for interviews (Mock Interviews) - School and recommender selection advice

I'm Stanford GSB MBA/MS alum who has excelled in climate and impact work across roles spanning social entrepreneurship, climatetech and renewables consulting and development, and investing. I've also uniquely been through the process of applying to top schools from abroad (Mongolia). I know what it takes to pivot, to do a dual degree program, to apply to the U.S. from abroad, and to articulate the values that will make your application stand out. I have experience helping U.S. and international coachees with unconventional backgrounds gain admissions to top programs and get selected for life-changing scholarships. I am especially passionate about working with people who are focused on climate change and the environment. I want to help you uncover and authentically showcase your strengths so you can make moves toward a career that makes you tick.
