Welcome to my profile! As an experienced admissions professional with deep expertise in MBA and graduate program admissions, I specialize in guiding applicants through the rigorous MBA application journey. I hold a J.D./LL.M. from Duke University School of Law and a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and my admissions experience includes serving as Assistant Director of Recruitment and Admissions for the Chicago Booth Executive MBA program, Senior Admissions Counselor at AddedEducation, and Strategy Consultant at Crimson Education.

As a Wharton MBA graduate who came from a non-traditional background and a non-target undergraduate school, I know what it takes to break into top MBA programs without the typical resume. I didn’t have a brand-name employer or Ivy League degree—and I still earned a spot at one of the world’s most competitive business schools. That journey taught me how to craft a powerful narrative, highlight unconventional strengths, and position unique experiences as assets. I’ve also coached dozens of high school students through college essays, helping them tell authentic, compelling stories that get results. I bring that same insight, structure, and empathy to MBA applicants—especially those who don’t fit the traditional mold but have so much to offer.

As an MBA candidate at Stanford Graduate School of Business and a UCLA Business Economics graduate, I bring years of mentoring and finance experience to my coaching. My professional journey includes leading finance teams at Nextdoor and Aaptiv and investment banking at Perella Weinberg Partners, where I honed my skills in strategic planning and financial analysis. I have successfully coached a handful of individuals, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process with personalized strategies. I have gone through the application process twice, with the second time landing me at my dream school. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA goals. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

As a current MBA student at The Wharton School and a Master in Law candidate at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, I bring a unique blend of business and legal expertise to my coaching.

I am also the President of Wharton's Disability Empowerment & Action League. Before becoming a Leland coach, I have coached prospective students, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process.
