I have firsthand experience crafting compelling applications to top business schools and believe in strategic differentiation to stand out amongst the crowd (without appearing risky) in your MBA application. Key reasons I'm qualified to provide support: Professional Experience: I have work experience at MBB consulting firms, tech startups, and mature companies. I understand how to position these experiences to demonstrate viability for an MBA, having personally received admission to 3 M7 schools. Education: I hold a Bachelor’s degree in both English Language & Literature and Economics from the University of Chicago, with extensive coursework in personal writing.

Technology Expertise: I have a deep understanding of how you can maximize AI and digital tools to enhance your application.

With years of experience as the Assistant Director of the PhD Program at Harvard Business School, I advised and supported more than 130 students annually while also leading admissions committees for doctoral programs in addition to MBA programs. This work gave me direct, insider perspective on how the world’s most competitive business schools evaluate candidates and make decisions. Drawing on this expertise, I now coach prospective MBA students through every stage of the application journey — from crafting compelling personal narratives and refining essays, to interview preparation and strategic school selection. My approach emphasizes authenticity, clarity, and proven admissions insight, helping every client present their strongest and most competitive application.

As a former Stanford student-athlete current McKinsey consultant, I have helped prospective students with similar backgrounds craft their essays and narrative on why they should be admitted into top business schools.

Hi :) I'm an MBA graduate of Stanford's GSB (focus on entrepreneurship & energy), and I bring a wealth of experience in both the academic and professional realms. My journey includes roles in venture capital, entrepreneurship, and engineering. I was also a D1 athlete, but am sadly "washed up" and retired. I've successfully coached individuals through their MBA applications, helping them craft compelling narratives across the whole of their application. Whether you're looking to refine your essays, prepare for interviews, or develop a strong application strategy, I'm here to help - let's chat!

As a Columbia Business School Deferred Admit with a background in Finance and Social Impact, I want to help driven and diverse (geography, background, etc.) candidates throughout their MBA journeys and beyond.

No matter where you are in the process, let’s work together to tell your story—book an intro call today!

As a Vietnamese international applicant successfully admitted to Harvard Business School (HBS) and Wharton through their deferred MBA programs in 2022, I bring a distinctive perspective as a woman leader in data science and AI/ML. My professional journey—spanning elite organizations like McKinsey, Fanatics, and Lavendr—demonstrates not only technical expertise and strategic execution in digital transformation but also the compelling storytelling that top MBA programs seek. Leveraging my personal experience navigating admissions as an underrepresented international candidate in tech, I am uniquely positioned to guide and empower aspiring deferred MBA applicants to craft narratives that highlight their own distinctive identities and achievements.

Everyone I've coached has landed a school in their top 3 choices, even if not their first choice. We stay in touch throughout the full cycle of their application, from GRE/GMAT to essay writing to (if applicable) interview prep. I've been coaching for 5 years now and have experience with fellow procrastinators, as well as people who plan out their lives on a vision board they made in middle school. All I ask is an optimistic attitude and the ability to utilize feedback to your advantage, as I firmly believe that without it, we're all looking at ourselves in funhouse mirrors!
