Coming from a non-target undergraduate institution and non-target work place I secured admission at MIT and Harvard and know how difficult it is to do so. I can help you tell your story and really stand out. I make things accessible and break them down into bite sized goals to help you put your best foot forward.

Soros Fellowship for New Americans (1% acceptance rate, $90,000) and the Zuckerman Fellowship (full ride at Harvard + Stanford), which helped fund a large part of my graduate degree.

Coming from a technical background, I understand how to form a storyline and appeal to business schools through the resume creation process and answering difficult essay questions while weaving in university experiences and credentials. I have had non-traditional roles for MBA admitted students and I believe that I can help the most for students coming from engineering/computer science/data science looking to pivot into a business background.

I've very recently been through the Deferred MBA application process myself (2023) and have experience thinking through the application and creating a compelling story. Applying to Deferred MBA programs is different than a typical MBA application because there are nuances for what admissions committees are looking for from a future admit. I have thought through my story and helped others think through there's, especially for those coming from a consulting background. In addition to application strategy and essay prep, I received interviews from 7 out of the 8 programs I applied to so I know what to expect from different interviews and how to prepare for them. Overall, I am really excited to help guide people through the process based on my experience, background, and research, so others can share the same success I did.

I am a student at Harvard Business School. I was admitted to HBS through the 2+2 program and can give application tips to nontraditional MBA candidates, such as students pursuing engineering or STEM paths. Prior to HBS, I was a software engineer at Twitch (Amazon subsidiary) with four years of full stack and machine learning experience. I was also a product manager at TestParty AI, a seed stage startup focused on digital accessibility remediation using AI. Happy to provide coaching on topics related to deferred MBA admissions, big tech, and startups.
