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. While in my MBA program I worked at Bridgewater Associates and then had offers from Goldman Sachs TMT SF and Morgan Stanley Tech Investment banking groups. I also won the P.D. 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.

I read MBA applications for the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley; I sat on the UT Austin MBA Student Admissions Committee when I was earning my MBA; and I've been a recruiter for top tech companies in the SF Bay Area. I received a full Consortium fellowship to complete my MBA and was also named a Forte Fellow. This coupled with my over 10 years in college admissions make me uniquely qualified to offer a diverse and informed perspective on putting together a strong application.

I have a wealth of experience in the graduate management education sector and a global industry network. I have worked in higher education for almost 10 years. Most recently I was Director of Admissions at Imperial College Business School, and prior to that I was Head of MBA Recruitment and Admissions at Cambridge Judge Business School. I’ve read countless applications, interviewed hundreds of candidates and chaired many Admissions Committee meetings. I know what makes a candidate stand out in the application process, and common mistakes to avoid.  I know how daunting it can feel to start your MBA journey, and I want to use my knowledge and experience to help you navigate the application process with confidence, empowering you to submit your best MBA application.

Over the years, beginning with my time as a Neuroscience and Western European Politics double-major at Emory University, I have learned that excellent writing always tells a story. Applying this lesson in practice has paid off. As a Master's student in Neuroscience at Princeton University, I received the most prestigious STEM fellowship available to graduate students in the United States, the NSF-GRFP. Similarly, after spending the next few years working as a consultant at a strategy consulting firm, I am now attending the Wharton School at UPenn as an MBA Moelis Advance Access Fellow. Alongside these successes, I have helped aspiring college and graduate students write impressive resumes, cover letters, CVs, research statements, statements of purpose, personal statements, and fellowship applications.
