Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

Hi everyone! I’m Sydney, a 2024 MBA graduate from Harvard Business School. Having been admitted to several M7 programs, I know how to shape a story that stands out in a highly competitive process. In my own applications, I successfully explained both a past career pivot - from Investment Banking to the less traditional field of Investor Relations - and my plans to pivot again after HBS into the business of sports. That dual experience gives me a unique perspective on how to craft essays and interviews that clearly frame both where you’ve been and where you want to go. I also work closely with applicants to determine whether business school is the right fit, and if it is, how to approach the journey with confidence and clarity.

Welcome to my profile! As a current JD/MBA candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, I bring a unique experience of navigating two different admissions processes. My experience spans investment research and corporate strategy at a top investment manager, as well as a summer associate position at a top law-firm. I am passionate about helping aspiring MBA students navigate the competitive admissions process, drawing on my own journey to Wharton. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay crafting, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and chart your path to a top program!

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.

I'm great at helping you convey your stories with clarity, and getting your word count down to your essay's limit with flair. I've helped several folks get into M7 and beyond programs by helping them tie their experiences to their business school goals.

As a Harvard alum and current Stanford GSB MBA student, I’ve successfully navigated the competitive MBA admissions process and now help others do the same. I started my career on the trading floor before moving into investment banking at Credit Suisse, then transitioned into growth equity investing at TPG’s Rise Fund, and now invest in early-stage startups as a venture capitalist. I also founded a nonprofit focused on youth mentorship and leadership development, which has shaped my passion for helping others tell authentic, mission-driven stories. As a former Division I college athlete, I bring the same discipline, focus, and competitive edge to my coaching that I brought to the field. I’ve mentored dozens of applicants from a wide range of industries and backgrounds, especially those from nontraditional or underrepresented paths, and I take pride in helping them refine their voice, build confidence, and stand out in a crowded applicant pool. Whether you’re strategizing your school list, polishing essays, or prepping for interviews, I’ll be a hands-on, committed partner every step of the way. I’m especially passionate about working with first-gen, low-income, and underrepresented applicants, and ensuring they feel empowered throughout this journey.
