I applied to every top MBA program in the country without a consultant and got into all five: Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Booth, and MIT Sloan. Merit scholarships from each. Multiple full rides. GRE: 99th percentile after four weeks of prep. Five for five. I was admitted as one of the youngest members of the Stanford GSB Class of 2027. I hold multiple campus leadership roles, and outside of Stanford I serve as an Appointed Advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom. Previously, I was an executive at a YCombinator-backed AI startup and the founding analyst of Accenture Strategy's Private Equity practice. My partner and co-coach is a JD/MBA at Wharton/Penn and a former McKinsey consultant. My own path to business school was anything but linear. I had a mix of experiences across tech, consulting, startups, and government, and I know what it takes to turn a complex background into a story admissions committees fight over. I've coached 15+ students on MBA admissions and career coaching, and am a multiple fellowship-winning writer, so I work with you hands-on from narrative strategy through final essay polish. I specialize in: - Applicants with non-traditional or complex backgrounds - Career switchers (tech to finance, consulting to startups, etc.) - International applicants targeting M7 programs - Deferred enrollment programs (HBS 2+2, Stanford deferred, etc.) - Scholarship and financial aid strategy and negotiation - Essay writing, editing, and narrative positioning - Full-cycle application management (school selection through interview prep) - GRE/GMAT test strategy and planning - Re-applicant strategy and repositioning - Interview preparation for MBA admissions Additionally, I can help with: - Post-MBA career strategy (tech, consulting, startups, PE/VC) - Consulting recruiting and case interview prep - Resume and LinkedIn optimization - Career and professional mentorship

I've spent a decade at three of the world's most competitive companies — Meta, Apple, and JPMorgan Chase — doing one thing exceptionally well: turning complex, messy human stories into clear, compelling narratives that move people to act. That's not just my job. It's my superpower. And it's exactly what great MBA essays require. I was selected for JPMorgan Chase's Senior Associate Development Program — a leadership initiative recognizing the top 2% of nominees firm-wide — and have been recognized as a top 1% mentor on the ADP List platform for expertise in research and career development. I've formally mentored junior researchers, led A/B testing workshops for 200+ employees, and built research frameworks that doubled team throughput. I know what it takes to perform at the highest level — and how to help others get there. I also just lived the application process myself. As an incoming Columbia EMBA student, I know exactly what today's top programs are looking for — and more importantly, what makes an application stand out in a highly competitive pool. I didn't have a linear, easy-to-package story. I had to work for my narrative. That's what makes me a better coach: I've done the hard work of turning a decade of zigzag experience into something undeniable, and I can help you do the same.
