Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

When I was in your shoes, I could not afford an admissions consulting firm, or to pay a former adcom member who only understands how one school thinks. I personally authored 100% of my end-to-end applications (essays, CVs, interview preparation, etc.) without these resources. Through a deep understanding of how to craft an authentic application, I was admitted to four Ivy League undergraduate schools, as well as to all three of the deferred MBA programs: HBS 2+2, Stanford Deferred Enrollment, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars program. My clients have been admitted to all SEVEN top MBA programs, including all three deferred MBA programs. I coach to give prospective students like you access to gold-standard application prep that will turbocharge your ability to land admissions ACROSS all top business schools: -- Without the admissions consulting firm price tag -- With the perspective of someone who has been admitted to and attended multiple Ivy League schools (vs. an adcom member who only understands the perspective of one) 💯

I work at the intersection of recent admissions experience, real world finance exposure, and a highly international background. As an incoming London Business School MBA student, I was admitted to the majority of Tier 1 European MBA programs, receiving merit based scholarships from multiple of these schools, and have personally gone through competitive interview processes across top programs. I know how to make an application come alive when strong experience alone is not enough. Beyond my professional background in investment banking, private equity, and a family investment platform, I have helped candidates across stages navigate MBA applications, early finance careers, study abroad programs, and select college applications. My strength lies in helping people clearly articulate motivation, impact, and fit, especially when their experiences are diverse, international, non traditional, or creative. What sets me apart is judgment and clarity. I help candidates pressure test their story, communicate authentically in essays and interviews, and perform confidently in behavioral interviews for MBAs and early career roles. Clients work with me when they want honest feedback, thoughtful positioning, and guidance from someone who has recently navigated these processes successfully and understands what admissions committees and programs look for in candidates beyond the resume.

Hello! As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School and a former Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), I bring a wealth of experience in navigating stressful application processes. My professional journey started at Cornell University, which led me to strategy and operations at JPMorgan Chase & Co.

I've successfully coached 20+ clients through the college and consulting application processes, and I'm excited to bring my knowledge and experience to help aspiring MBAs. I have had an incredible experience so far at Wharton, and seek out opportunities for servant leadership and learning, such as being selected as a McNulty Venture Fellow (leading leadership-focused outdoor expeditions globally) and working part-time as a Financial Wellness Peer Educator.

I have over 17+ years of higher education experience and 9 years at Columbia University, serving as a former Director of MBA/EMBA Admissions, and Senior Associate Director for the Columbia Business School Real Estate Center and Alumni Development.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here and I'd love to help you build successful applications with real results.

I'm a Stanford GSB MBA graduate, with a wealth of experience in product management and leadership from top companies like Amazon and LendingClub. I've successfully guided clients to admission at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Harvard Business School and Wharton. My approach is tailored to each individual's strengths, ensuring that your unique story stands out to admissions committees.

Candidates, especially ones from common or overpopulated demographics, need to stand out. We will work together so that you are not a one-dimensional candidate in the eyes of the Admissions Committee but one who adds something special to the entering cohort. I have been interviewing candidates as a Kellogg alum since 1993. I recruited Executive MBA candidates for Kellogg throughout Latin America and ran information sessions on the fulltime program while a Kellogg director. Later, I worked several years at two of the larger players in the MBA admissions consulting industry before deciding to offer the same services independently. Clients love my authenticity, enthusiasm, and sense of humor. But while a confessed porphyrophile, I have also helped clients get into a wide range of Top Twenty programs, including the M7.
