Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

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.

Never in my life could I have dreamed about ending up in Stanford. But I did. I went to school in Egypt and didn't have role models who obtained advanced degrees, let alone from the top MBA program in the world. It is not impossible. I am here to help as many people from a non traditional background end up in Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Columbia and other top schools. I have helped numerous friends with their GSB, HBS, Wharton applications. I am here to do the same for you. From strategizing, to outlining the essays to making direct edits.

Experienced Coach with proven track record of helping aspirants crack their MBA Admit. I have the tendency to go all in and I would not rest till we have together made multiple iterations to perfect that essay and application.

After spending six years as a software engineer in the Bay Area, I decided to take on the challenge of applying to MBA programs—which turned out to be quite the adventure (so much so that I did it twice!). With my DIY approach to life, I handled most of the application process on my own. A big thanks to the awesome Leland coaches who helped me nail the interviews, leading to acceptances from three out of my four top-choice schools. Now, I'm enjoying my time pursuing an MBA at Harvard Business School. Along the way, I've picked up more insights about the program than I ever expected. I realized I love sharing what I've learned and helping others on their own paths. That's why I joined Leland. I'm here to share tips, stories, and guidance to make your MBA application journey a bit smoother—and maybe even a bit fun. If you're gearing up for your own MBA adventure, let's chat and see how I can help!

I approached the business school application process with a sense of diversity that mirrored my background and it helped me get accepted to both Harvard and Stanford along the way. I have a strong background in finance (investment banking and private equity) but am also not afraid to leverage my human side: I’m an immigrant from Argentina who lived around the world (including china), I do improv and stand-up comedy, I’m a video game nerd and gym bro and more! The key to getting into a good business school is to BE YOU (seriously)! Whether you need assistance with application strategy, essay editing, or interview preparation, I am here to guide you every step of the way and help you tell YOUR story. Let's work together to unlock your potential. Don't hesitate to reach out and schedule an introductory call!

Welcome to my profile! If you're unsure how to tell your story—especially if you come from a nontraditional background, didn’t attend a “target” school, or just need a sharp thought partner to elevate your essays and resume—you’re in the right place! For the past two years, I’ve served as a career coach at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, helping students shape narratives that stand out. Before that, I spent five years in management consulting, leading teams and turning complex insights into clear, high-impact messaging. With a background in corporate strategy, healthcare, and data science, I’m especially helpful to applicants navigating less conventional career transitions—whether you're moving from technical roles into business or aiming to break into top programs without a traditional pedigree. Let’s work together to craft an application that’s strategic, authentic, and truly differentiated. Reach out to get started.

Hello and welcome to my profile!

As a former Consultant at Dalberg and a Venture Associate at Sustainable Ventures, I have firsthand experience in strategy consulting, venture capital and entrepreneurship.

Let's work together to achieve your goals!

I grew up across five U.S. cities and spent years living on four continents, so “Where are you from?” rarely has a tidy answer. But why I move is simple: to help people become the best version of themselves. For me, that impact starts with food. My personal mission is to make healthy meals exciting, accessible, and affordable. That mission led me to build a hydroponic farm in my apartment, donate 20K lbs of food to furloughed service workers during COVID, and start a kombucha company in China. That clarity of vision led me to become the first person ever admitted to Stanford GSB and the Schwarzman Scholars program in the same application cycle. As your coach, I’ll give you the clarity that took me years to gain. Together we’ll sharpen your mission, ground it in your experiences, and craft a story that connects every dot. The result? An application that admissions teams can’t overlook. Just ask the people I've previously worked with who were accepted into Stanford GSB, Schwarzman, Harvard, Wharton, and beyond.

As a Stanford MBA (Class of 2013) with a track record of building successful businesses across three continents, I bring a unique blend of admissions insight and real-world experience to MBA coaching. After earning my MBA, I've spent over a decade as a management consultant at Bain & Company, repeat entrepreneur (co-founding two start-ups, including a Nigerian health-tech startup that scaled to $3M ARR and an educational NGO), and strategic leader at high-growth companies. The MBA experience was transformative for me, and I'm passionate about helping others who are seeking to have a positive impact in the world to unlock their full potential. Having successfully guided 5 aspiring MBAs into top-tier programs, I understand what admissions committees are looking for and how to craft compelling narratives that showcase your potential. My coaching approach combines a deep dive into your unique background, an exploration of the schools that would be the best fit for you, and a tailored collaboration to develop the strongest possible application. I have a particular depth of experience working with applicants from West and East Africa, as well as folks from non-traditional professional backgrounds.
