My clients have gotten into top business schools such as Harvard (HBS), Berkeley (Haas), and MIT (Sloan). I am a Stanford GSB graduate and was accepted to every business school I applied to. I'm a former engineer turned PM; so I understand the non-traditional applicant's path.

Having gone through the MBA application process and achieved admittance to the five schools to which I applied (Booth, Darden, HBS, Kellogg, and Wharton), I know the dedication required to submit compelling applications that yield your desired result. In addition to this, I've helped a number of prospective MBAs think through their interest in business schools in general, as well as strategize to improve their candidacy. This has ranged from advice on taking specific courses to demonstrate capabilities in weak areas (e.g., 3-credit online, quantitative course to balance a humanities major or a low undergrad quant grade) to tactical tips on navigating a waitlist successfully and receiving an offer of admission. This has also included guidance on GMAT and GRE prep and big-picture thinking to investigate a targeted list of post-MBA career options. I came from a more traditional background at first glance (investment banking, private equity) but had a non-traditional major (Art History) coupled with a personal passion (sustainability) that I hadn't yet explored professionally, but was committed to pursuing in the future. Strengthening weak spots while weaving together my divergent experiences and interests (art, music, Italian language and culture, volunteer tutoring, environmentalism, finance) in my application and detailing my targeted career path (sustainable finance) was a challenging but rewarding experience. I'd love to help you think through links between the many diverse and seemingly disconnected experiences we often have when applying to MBA programs.

As a graduate from top MBA program UCLA Anderson, I know what it takes to put together a successful application for MBA programs. I understand the entire process understanding the hardship and struggles it takes. As a coach, I provide end to end support for the entire process, building my clients confidence throughout the process so that they start their MBA program feeling ready. I'm particularly skilled at helping others craft, embrace, and communicate their story ensuring that all written deliverables of an MBA application come together to make my clients stand out. Since my launch I've helped clients get admitted to their dream programs (with scholarship offers), including top MBA programs like Haas, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Anderson, INSEAD, and Marshall. More importantly than helping my clients get admitted, I've provided my clients the support they needed for this major step, with my clients all expressing gratitude for the confidence they feel in their own abilities.

As someone who was admitted to Booth, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, and NYU, I know firsthand how to craft a compelling MBA application that stands out. I’ve helped multiple applicants clarify their story, strengthen their essays, and position themselves for success—even when they thought they didn’t have the “perfect” background. I bring a mix of private equity and startup experience, a deep understanding of what top business schools are looking for, and a no-fluff coaching style that gets results. Whether you're figuring out your career narrative or polishing your final drafts, I’ll meet you where you are and help you hit submit with confidence.
