As an MBA candidate at the Haas School of Business, I bring a unique blend of management consulting and social impact experience to my coaching. My background includes impactful roles at Deloitte Consulting and a private family office, where I honed my skills in philanthropic capital allocation and built an expertise in the climate space. I also bring firsthand experience as a “non-traditional” applicant. Prior to business school, I trained at culinary school in France, giving me a unique perspective on crafting a compelling narrative across unconventional career paths. I’ve navigated both advanced access/deferred MBA programs and the traditional admissions cycle and was ultimately admitted to both Wharton and Haas. I love helping applicants translate diverse experiences into clear, authentic, and competitive applications. My students have been admitted to top 10 MBA programs, secured deferred enrollment spots, and gotten off waitlists at their dream schools.

As a graduate of The Wharton School, where I earned my MBA in Strategic Management and Finance, I bring firsthand insight into what top business schools look for in applicants—especially those applying through deferred MBA programs. I’ve supported students in successfully gaining admission to highly competitive programs like Wharton, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School, with experience coaching both traditional applicants and college seniors pursuing early-entry options. With a background in strategy consulting at firms like BCG and ZS Associates, I help applicants craft compelling narratives that reflect their leadership potential, career clarity, and long-term goals. Whether you're a college student aiming for deferred admission or a young professional planning your next move, I’ll work with you to develop a standout application that positions you for success.
