MBA/MS Admissions Experts

Helped dozens of MBA applicants, especially ones coming from tech, sharpen their narratives for applications, deeply understand how to maximize their investment, and enter graduate school centered and ready to make the most of their experiences.

I was admitted to Booth, Kellogg (MMM Program), and Wharton, all on merit scholarships ranging from 25-75% tuition coverage. I was an Admissions Fellow at Wharton, speaking to and interviewing over 300 candidates.

Welcome to my profile! As an MBA graduate from the Kellogg School of Management, where I was honored as an F.C. Austin Scholar, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. My journey includes a robust background in strategic partnerships at Microsoft, where I also serve as a mentor, helping founders accelerate their business growth. With a strong foundation in economics from Harvard University and leadership roles in various organizations, I am well-equipped to guide you through the MBA application process. Whether you need assistance with application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and chart your path to a top MBA program!

I hold degrees from Harvard, MIT, Wharton, and Stanford—giving me firsthand experience navigating multiple highly selective MBA and graduate programs. As a Stanford GSB Sloan Fellow (MSx), Wharton MBA/Lauder MA graduate, former INSEAD exchange student, and London Business School admit, I don’t just understand elite admissions—I’ve done it repeatedly across U.S. and European systems. Today I’m an active entrepreneur, investor, and board member: co-founder of an AI-native digital health company operating in Mexico, partner at a real estate private equity firm, and founding partner of a venture firm. I’ve also guest lectured at Stanford School of Medicine and MIT. That means my coaching isn’t just about getting in—it’s about building a credible, compelling story that matches what top programs are actually trying to select: leaders who will execute and create impact after graduation. I work with both U.S. and international applicants (with deep experience advising Latin American candidates; I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese). My specialty is fit-first strategy: identifying the programs that best match your goals (not simply the highest-ranked), then translating your profile into a sharp positioning, essays that sound like you at your best, and confident interview performance. Whether you’re targeting an M7, a top European program, or a non-traditional path like MSx/Sloan Fellows or joint degrees, I’ll help you apply—and choose—wisely.

Having gone through the MBA admissions process myself, I know exactly how daunting it can feel, crafting your story, writing essays that stand out, and walking into admissions interviews with confidence. I hold an MBA and MSc in Design Innovation from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, one of the world's top business programs. Born in Shanghai and educated across Hong Kong and the US, I understand the unique challenges international candidates face, from positioning a non-Western career narrative to communicating across cultural contexts in essays and interviews. I'm fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, which allows me to work closely with candidates from Chinese-speaking backgrounds navigating the US admissions process. I help candidates find and articulate their unique story, position their experience compellingly, and prepare for interviews at top programs. Whether you're figuring out which programs to target or polishing your final essays, I'll give you honest, direct feedback that moves your application forward.

My qualifications here come from sitting on both sides of the MBA experience. I earned my own MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, starting the program in person and finishing online in 2015, when online graduate education was still relatively new. Combined with my other graduate degrees at Northwestern Medill, Harvard, and UIC, I have a real feel for how different learning formats work and what admissions committees across top programs tend to value. I scored well on the GMAT, I understand how applications are actually read, and over the years, I have written dozens of letters of recommendation for applicants. Nearly every one of them has landed at a top program, including schools like Harvard and Columbia. What I bring that many admissions coaches do not is practical business experience. I have founded multiple successful companies, including RevEng Consulting, and have spent more than 20 years in the business world at companies like SAP and LinkedIn. That lets me help applicants move past generic, theoretical essays and build specific, credible stories that resonate with admissions committees. RevEng also regularly hosts MBA interns, most recently a group from the University of Michigan in 2025, so I stay close to what current programs teach and how students are evaluated.

As an international student, I navigated the path from an F-1 visa to a career at Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla, with two master's degrees from Carnegie Mellon. I've sat in the exact seat you're in: writing essays that need to feel distinctive without being gimmicky, picking schools that actually translate to the U.S. career you want after, and figuring out how to tell your story in a way that lands with admissions committees who read thousands of them. International MBA applicants face a specific challenge: most application advice is built around domestic applicants. The narrative arcs that work, the school selection criteria, the post-MBA career lens — they all assume a U.S.-citizen default. That's a real gap. And if your background is international, non-traditional, or both, that gap is where strong applications struggle. I work specifically with international applicants because that's the path I walked, and it's where I can add real value: - Finding the narrative angle that makes you distinct without leaning on the generic immigrant story - Picking schools through a sponsorship and post-MBA career lens - Positioning a non-traditional background as a strength, not a gap to explain - Writing essays that feel authentic and like you. - Preparing for the post-admit reality: visa timing, internship sponsorship, long-term career arc Whether you're applying to a MPP/MPA/MS/MBA program, the crux of a great graduate school application starts with crafting a bespoke winning strategy designed for you. I take a small cohort of clients per cycle. I'm selective because outcomes matter more than volume. If you're an ambitious international applicant aiming at top programs and you want a coach who's lived this path, let's talk.

I'm a Wharton MBA graduate with an international background across the US, Europe, and MENA region - and a non-linear career path that took me from investment management into tech startups before business school. That journey wasn't tidy. But it taught me exactly how to turn a complex, unconventional story into one that resonates with top admissions committees, and it's the foundation of everything I bring to my clients. My unique qualifications include: ✔ Wharton MBA graduate with leadership roles in selective student organizations and fellowships, giving me a current, first-hand understanding of what thriving (not just getting in) at an M7 program actually looks like ✔ Spent time on the interview-evaluation side of Wharton admissions, giving me a nuanced lens into how candidates can stand out in the interview ✔ Helped students get into top M7 schools and LBS & INSEAD in Europe ✔ Specialized experience with non-linear profiles, career pivots, international applicants, and candidates who feel their story doesn't fit the traditional MBA mold ✔ End-to-end support across school selection, narrative development, essays, recommendations, interview prep, and timeline management - with a structured, personalized calendar so nothing falls through the cracks ✔ I work with a deliberately small number of clients per cycle. That's not a sales line, it's how I do my best work. Every person I take on gets my full attention, honest feedback, and genuine investment in their outcome. I'm especially helpful to: ✔ Candidates with non-linear or complex career paths who need help making sense of their story ✔ Career-pivot applicants struggling to frame their "why MBA, why now" ✔ Candidates with good experience and scores that don't jump off the page, helping them turn "good" into stellar ✔ International applicants navigating the cultural translation of their experience for U.S. and European programs ✔ Early-career applicants (2–5 years out) who need help conveying maturity and potential alongside ambition

Welcome to my profile! As a Harvard alum and current MBA candidate at Stanford Graduate School of Business, I bring a wealth of firsthand experience to the MBA admissions process. My background includes serving as an alumni interviewer and being part of the admissions committee at Harvard, giving me unique insights into what top programs are looking for. What I've learned is that the difference between a good candidate and an admitted one is almost never credentials; it's the narrative. It's knowing which of your 20 experiences to lead with, which to cut entirely, and how to connect the ones that remain into a story a reviewer remembers after reading 50 other essays that day. I've developed frameworks for mapping your profile to a program's selection criteria, allocating anecdotes across essays so nothing feels redundant, and writing in a voice that sounds like you rather than a template. I've successfully coached individuals through their applications, helping them craft compelling narratives and navigate the competitive admissions landscape. Let's work together to make your MBA application stand out!

INSEAD alumnus and MBA admissions coach with firsthand experience navigating the application process independently, including admission to INSEAD. I support candidates across profiles: from early-career to experienced professionals, with a focus on positioning, storytelling, and school selection (US vs. Europe vs. Asia), including a clear ROI perspective on different programs. I also work with applicants managing lower GMAT scores, helping them strengthen overall profiles and application strategy.
