MBA Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

An American based in Europe, I've been working with MBA candidates for over 10 years. My clients have won acceptances to INSEAD, London Business School, HEC Paris, Oxford Saïd Business School, IESE, Cambridge Judge, ESMT Berlin, and many more. If you are keen to build your international career at one of Europe's top business schools, let's talk! I can help you articulate your unique profile and goals in a way that opens the door to the international stage you're seeking. I love working with globally-minded candidates because I can relate to your ambition to cross borders, build partnerships, and challenge yourself to think differently. Besides my MBA, I've studied journalism and theatre, and once ran an economic development agency - so I can relate to many different industries and career paths. These days, helping motivated people achieve their educational goals is at the center of what I do. Whether you've pinned your target on London, Paris, Barcelona, or all three, let's get you on that plane.

I'm a Harvard MBA with MBB consulting experience, and a Chemical Engineer with 5+ years experience in operations and engineering roles before business school. I applied to five top MBA programs and was admitted to all (HBS, Wharton, MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, and Duke Fuqua), with over $500K in scholarship offers. I also received offers from the top 3 consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) during business school. Since my own MBA journey, I have coached 30+ applicants across different backgrounds - helping them craft their stories, strengthen their strategy, and show up confidently. Whether you're a non-traditional candidate, just starting your MBA journey, or deep in essays and interviews, I'm here to be your strategist, sounding board, and biggest cheerleader. I have worked with individuals across various demographics and time zones and will be more than happy to work with you to put your best foot forward. I'm here to help you tell your story powerfully and authentically - and win that admit!

Hi, I’m Abby! I was accepted into the Harvard Business School 2+2 Deferred MBA Program, as well as Columbia Business School’s Deferred Enrollment Program and Yale’s Silver Scholars Program. I earned a 331 on the GRE and graduated from a small liberal arts college, where I majored in Economics and Psychology. Currently, I work at PwC as an AI Strategist, and I’m also passionate about entrepreneurship. I’ve helped clients from a wide range of backgrounds—including underrepresented minorities, non-traditional candidates, and students from non-target schools—craft standout applications. From developing compelling personal narratives to perfecting interview strategy, I bring a tailored, strategic approach to each applicant. Let’s work together to turn your MBA goals into reality.

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.

Hi, I am a recent graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA '25) who received admittance and over $750k+ in combined scholarship dollars to HBS, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Yale SOM, and Fuqua. During my time at HBS, I was the co-VP of Admissions for the LASO, working hand-in-hand with the HBS admissions team to foster events and outreach. I came to HBS with over 5+years of investment banking experience at Citi and spent my MBA summer as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

I was admitted to HBS in the 2022 cycle, despite having a lower-than-average GMAT, being a first-generation college student, and not hiring a consultant for myself. I'm now a recent graduate from Harvard Business School with extensive experience coaching friends and clients through their MBA applications over the last two years. I was one of six students from my year chosen to participate in HBS' admissions committee, where I supported the admissions team with welcoming students to campus and sharing advice on applying to HBS. Meanwhile, I was actively supporting my friends in their business school ambitions, who are attending HBS, Sloan, Wharton, and Anderson. During the last two MBA application cycles, I have helped at least one client get accepted into all M7 schools. Out of my clients, 5 will be attending HBS, 3 at GSB, 1 at Wharton, 2 at Sloan, 2 at Booth, 1 at Columbia, and 0 for Kellogg (maybe this year). I work full-time at Bain as a consultant, so this is simply something that I'm passionate about and want to continue doing on the side. I ask that if you're coming to me you're serious about applying and working through this process together, as I don't anticipate taking too many clients this year.

With over twenty years of multifaceted professional and MBA admissions consulting experience, I bring a perspective that most consultants simply can’t replicate. My career has taken me from Deloitte’s Strategy & Operations practice and Samsung’s Global Strategy Group in Seoul to the operating teams of multiple tech startups and the halls of higher education, where I have coached MBA candidates at UCLA Anderson and USC Marshall. I understand what admissions committees at top programs are looking for, because I’ve lived the kinds of careers they want to see and I know how to help you frame your story in the most compelling way possible. My commitment is to help you articulate your unique story and personal brand in an authentic and engaging way. I ensure that every aspect of your application, from essays and resumes to recommendations and interviews, reflects your full potential. Whether you need comprehensive end-to-end guidance or targeted assistance with a specific component, I provide honest, actionable feedback and individualized hands-on support. I work with a select group of clients each cycle—to give each engagement the attention it deserves and ensure that no one gets lost in the shuffle. The results speak for themselves: ➤ 100% of clients receive 2 or more offers of admission ➤ 90% of clients admitted to 2 or more M7 programs ➤ Clients admitted to HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, Kellogg, Booth, MIT Sloan, CBS, Berkeley Haas, NYU Stern, Yale SOM, Fuqua, and Tuck I hold an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a BA from Swarthmore College.

I was invited to interview with all four MBA programs to which I applied (Wharton, HBS, Booth, and Sloan), and I completed this process not too long ago.

I love mentoring and coaching students and applicants - I regularly volunteer my time with the Berkeley Haas entrepreneurship program by providing course content, speaking opportunities, mentorship hours, and coaching. I also regularly support incoming MBA and MPH students with application review, interview prep, and more. While at Haas, I worked with the MBA & MPH admissions committees for a year and picked up a bunch of tips and tricks to hack the process!
