Executive MBA Admissions Coaches

Welcome! With over a decade of experience in MBA admissions, I've guided hundreds of domestic and international clients to success at top business schools including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and more.

I specialize in helping you discover your unique "wow factor" and crafting an application that highlights your strengths and fit with each target school. Whether you need comprehensive support or targeted assistance with essays and interviews, I'm here to help you present your best self to admissions committees. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality! Please note that give discounts to active military.

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 graduated from Harvard Business School and have 10+ years of coaching experience. I have helped numerous clients get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton and M7 as well as land jobs in banking & investing. I previously worked for the University of Michigan career center helping students apply for investment banking jobs and have reviewed hundreds of resumes, cover letters and mock interviews. I have also spent many years working with non-profits such as Synergist to mentor college women interested in business and finance and Minds Matter to help first-generation high school students apply to college. I take a hands-on approach and strive to help every one of my clients reflect their best true potential.

Coaching has always been a big passion of mine - while in business school, I was the VP of Prospective Students for the Armed Forces Association as well as a member of Service2School, a non-profit that provides guidance and mentorship for transitioning service members looking to pursue advanced degrees. I'm also a alumni interviewer for Ross. Over the past 5 years, I've coached and prepped over 100+ people on MBA applications with a high rate of success. I know what adcoms are looking for, so let me help you get there!

After my own journey applying and interviewing for MBAs, from rejections to full-time offers with scholarships, I can personally attest to the challenges, frustrations, and difficulties in determining the right school and executing to receive an offer. I visited 12 business schools in 5 countries in the US, Europe, and Asia in my own research and decision-making process. I've helped numerous applicants on essays, school strategy, narrative development, overall applications, etc. Would be pleased to share learnings and support other applicants in their own trajectories towards success. I've studied in 7 universities and lived in 9 countries, so I uniquely understand different education systems across borders.

As a highly qualified MBA coach with years of experience, I have a deep understanding of the MBA admissions process and post MBA career recruitment. I've successfully helped many individuals get into top MBA programs, leveraging my insights to stand out in the competitive landscape. I provide tailored coaching and interview preparation, guiding clients to develop the best narrative for their MBA applications. Let's work together to elevate your career and unlock your path to success!
