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. After college, I had a side hustle where I coached high school and college students through college admissions and consulting interview prep (the website is still live if you can find it!). 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. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey to a top MBA program!

As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, I bring a wealth of experience from the retail industry, including leadership positions at Walmart eCommerce and Boll & Branch. My journey through these dynamic environments has equipped me with unique insights into business strategy and consumer behavior, which I leverage to help aspiring MBA students craft compelling applications. I have a strong track record of guiding clients through the intricacies of the MBA admissions process, focusing on application strategy, essay development, and interview preparation.

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Natalie. I went to Stanford GSB, and also received offers and full scholarships from MIT, Columbia, and NYU. While my roots are in Finance, I dove into entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing post-graduation, having founded and sold one company, and took another from Series A to Series C, expanding to 5 new markets and generating multi-million dollars of sales in 4 years. Coaching-wise, I've had the privilege of guiding candidates to successful admissions at top schools like Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Chicago Booth. One individual's testimonial encapsulates the impact of our engagement: "I connected with Natalie during a pivotal time in my career in 2019, when I was applying for my MBA and contemplating a shift from my five-year tenure as an investment associate to a more strategic role. Natalie's willingness to share her own career journey was invaluable. Her insights extended well past the professional realm, guiding me through her experiences during her MBA journey and beyond, helping me clarify my career direction and reevaluate what truly mattered in my life. Natalie's mentorship was exceptional, offering a wealth of practical advice for my career. Her support and guidance have played a significant role in shaping my educational and professional journey. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a mentor and advisor, particularly for those seeking career growth and direction." Beyond MBA coaching, I provide comprehensive career guidance, drawing from my diverse experiences. If you're looking for practical advice and a mentor who understands the twists and turns of various career paths, let's connect and navigate your journey together.

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!
