Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

Expert in the LBS admissions process, currently sitting on the interview panel for the school. I've worked with 15+ candidates across all programmes, helping them secure offers at top European MBA schools. I specialise in career pivoters, particularly those moving from structured careers like banking or consulting into tech and entrepreneurship. Having made that exact transition myself, from investment banking at Bank of America and Evercore to Chief of Staff at a UK tech unicorn, I'll help you craft a compelling story, sharpen your post-MBA goals, and position your application for maximum impact.

I was a non-traditional applicant for business school. I was not strong quantitatively, and came from technology sales. I did not have a network of people who had MBAs, and felt like I was drowning. If you are in a similar place, I might be the right coach for you! I will first help you evaluate if an MBA is the best move for you. We can work through each of the reasons people typically get MBAs. I am happy to share my experience as well. If an MBA is your decided next step, I will help you craft a narrative that showcases your true self to the admissions committee. I was admitted into HBS in Round 1 and waitlisted at Stanford GSB. I will of course work with you on waitlist strategy to secure your admission.

I’m Tara, originally from Indonesia, and a deferred admit to the Stanford GSB. I hold a degree in Political Economy from UC Berkeley, with concentrations in Law, Institutions, and Development. My career has been global in scope, beginning at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., and Brussels, where I spent over three years working with senior leaders in government, the private sector, and multilateral organizations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and more. My work ranged from shaping investor engagement strategies for the Bank’s $54+ billion bond issuance program to contributing to climate and education policy research, and leading a World Bank–funded legal empowerment initiative in Tanzania that now provides legal education to 1,000 girls. I was later selected for a competitive Princeton University fellowship in Rwanda, where I joined a consulting firm focused on private-sector development in fragile and post-conflict African countries and worked directly with one of Rwanda’s key economic advisors, who led the nation’s post-genocide reconstruction and development program. I am now based in East Africa, working in venture capital and investing in early-stage companies delivering tech-enabled need-to-haves across frontier and emerging markets. A constant thread through all my experiences has been storytelling. Whether connecting global investors to the World Bank’s mission, presenting the outcomes of development projects, or using creative arts to deliver legal education to girls in Tanzania, I’ve seen how powerful narratives can resonate with people, build connection, and inspire action. As a coach, my goal is to help you achieve the same: crafting and refining the most compelling version of your story so it becomes the cornerstone of your MBA application. I may be a good fit for you if you are an international student; interested in the intersection of development, finance, and public policy or political economy (including impact investing, venture capital, development finance, geopolitics, diplomacy, and academic research); pursuing or considering a global career; or drawn to the intersection of business and policy. I’m excited to help you navigate your MBA or university applications and advance your career ambitions.

As a Harvard Business School graduate, I went through the MBA application process as an international applicant myself. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, resume review, or interview preparation, I would love to help you navigate the admissions process. I have worked across multiple industries including financial services, nonprofits, and startups, and have experience translating complex or non-traditional career paths into narratives that draw out personal stories and show personality, values, and motivations. I will not let you submit anything that is not clear, differentiated, and compelling to an admissions committee. :)

I was invited to interview with all four MBA programs to which I applied (Wharton, HBS, Booth, and Sloan), and I completed this process not too long ago.
