Yale SoM graduate. Global Director at SAP. Ex-Microsoft. I’ve built a career across countries, industries, and countless pivots—from finance to tech, Latin America to the U.S., and now leading AI marketing on a global stage. I specialize in helping international, non-traditional, and career-switching candidates own their story, land top-tier MBA offers, and design post-MBA careers that align with who they really are. If you’re navigating big decisions and want a coach who’s lived it—and can help you stand out with authenticity and strategy—you’re in the right place.

I’m a Harvard Business School MBA, Techstars-backed founder, and VP of Product in fintech. I grew up first gen and low income with no roadmap. I invested in Forte and MLT, built the playbook from scratch, and learned what top MBA programs are actually optimizing for. Now I coach ambitious applicants, especially first gen and non-obvious candidates, with direct feedback, pattern recognition, and a clear strategy across positioning, essays, and execution. I’ve coached 100+ people across MBA admissions and career pivots. I can help with school strategy, career narrative, essays, resume, recommendations, interviews, and waitlist strategy. If you want someone who will tell you the truth and keep you accountable, book an intro call.

I have a Bachelor's degree from Cornell University, where I worked with the Dean of Admissions, and a Master's degree from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (with acceptances from Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth and others). I excel at crafting holistic applicant stories to ensure every part of your application (essays, letters of recommendation, resume, etc.) add value to your candidacy. Outside of school, I was most recently a Senior Manager/Associate Director at SharkNinja, leading go-to-market strategy and managing a team of senior associates. My main motivation for coaching is getting to know people outside my circles and helping bring talented profiles the light they deserve! I have successfully coached 18 clients, working through the journey of school selection, essay editing and holistic application formation. I'd love to work together to craft a compelling application that stands out!
