As a recent graduate of UC Berkeley's MBA/MPH program, I’m passionate about helping others achieve their personal and professional aspirations. During my time at Haas, I gained unique insights into the MBA admissions process as an official student ambassador interacting with hundreds of applicants. I also worked in the career center, where I reviewed dozens of resumes and cover letters and led mock interviews for roles in healthcare, tech, and consulting. As a public speaking coach, I supported 25 students, including non-native English speakers, in building confidence and communication skills. When I applied to MBA programs, I worried that my non-linear career path and undergraduate grades would hold me back. By crafting and executing upon a clear application strategy, I earned scholarships to multiple T15 schools, including my dream program. I understand the challenges of navigating this process and want to help you present your best self to admissions committees. Let’s work together to make your MBA goals a reality!

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.

Hello! I am a current MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I offer a fresh perspective on the MBA application process – I recently underwent the MBA application journey and found success with multiple M7 acceptances while coming from a traditional, overrepresented applicant background. Regardless of an applicant’s hard stats, a successful MBA application requires a compelling story, powerful essays, and a polished resume, crafted via rigorous introspection of one’s experiences, strengths, and gaps. Whether it’s helping you narrow down a list of schools, brainstorming around your story, strategizing/reviewing essays and your resume, or helping prep for interviews, I’m here to provide end-to-end guidance throughout your application journey to help you stand out from the crowd.

I have in depth experience in coaching and mentoring, specifically in the MBA admissions space. I've gone through the process myself with huge success, I've coached prospective students through private coaching, as part of corporate coaching programs, and in support of the HBS admissions process. The reason I think I stand out and have found success as a coach is because I work hard to gain a true understanding of the applicant; to understand their motivations, values, drivers, strengths, and weaknesses. All of that is critical to craft a strong application for elite schools, but maybe more importantly it is critical to provide you the best support that I can. I will be better suited tailor my coaching to your needs, ensure you stay motivated and on track throughout the process, and unlock important insights to make your application stand out.
