Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

I’m well-qualified to coach students preparing for MBA admissions, having successfully gone through the process myself and completed my MBA. I understand what top business schools look for — from crafting a compelling personal narrative to excelling in interviews and essays. Beyond my own experience, I’ve coached over 30 students from my school and professional network on how to position their backgrounds effectively, resulting in multiple successful admissions to top MBA programs. My coaching focuses on strategy, authenticity, and helping each student showcase their unique strengths in a competitive admissions environment.

MBA is life-changing, but the price tag is something people rarely talk about. When I applied to MBA, I knew one thing very clearly: I could only go if I received significant scholarship support. Through a focused and intentional application strategy, I received two full-tuition MBA scholarships and four 50% scholarships. And I didn’t get there by chance. Along the way, I spoke with 30+ full-scholarship recipients, studied what actually makes schools view an applicant as fundable, and developed a repeatable framework for maximizing scholarship outcomes. Especially for candidates who don’t come from traditional business or consulting backgrounds. I studied chemistry and worked in the pharmaceutical industry before deciding to pivot into consulting through an MBA. I understand how intimidating it can feel to explain a non-traditional path, and how easy it is to undersell your story. My goal is to help you build an authentic personal narrative that still thinks strategically - one that shows schools you are not only admissible, but also fundable and employable. If you’re coming from a non-traditional background and want both admission and meaningful scholarship, I’d love to help you get there.

I applied to a broad range of top programs and was admitted to every school I applied to (4 M7 and 10 T15), despite having a sub-par undergraduate GPA and a non-traditional background. Now, I’ve been on both sides of the process. Most recently, I served on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, where I reviewed 100s of applications, interviewed candidates, and saw firsthand how this are evaluated internally (NOTE: It’s a far more structured and methodical process than most applicants realize!) I work selectively with motivated applicants who want honest, direct feedback and a clear strategy from someone who has navigated the process successfully and understands how decisions are actually made.

After ~3 years at Bain & Company, I was accepted into the Kellogg School of Management as a sponsored consultant. I have experience navigating the resume, letters of recommendation, application (including essays), and interview tips that will give you the best chance at landing your spot at a top MBA program.
