Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

Applied ED to Columbia MBA as non traditional candidate Accepted to Michigan Ross, Duke Fuqua, Emory Goizueta, Northwestern Kellogg Current alumni interviewer at CBS Alumni Board Member, CBS

I’m a Wharton MBA candidate with experience at McKinsey and in product management, so I know what top programs look for and how to position you to stand out. I take a structured, insight-driven approach to help you craft a clear, compelling story across essays, resume, and interviews. My focus isn’t just polishing your application, but making sure your narrative is sharp, authentic, and differentiated.

After six years as an Air Force officer, including combat deployments with JSOC, leading 200-person intelligence teams, and managing a $300M DoD cybersecurity program, I'm heading to Wharton this fall and went through the MBA application process as recently as last cycle. I applied in Round 1 and have since mentored R2 applicants who earned acceptances to Wharton and Columbia, so I know what a winning application looks like from both sides of the table. None of my military background maps neatly onto a traditional business school narrative, and learning to translate that experience into a compelling, differentiated story is exactly what got me into Wharton and it's what I help my clients do. I also know what it's like to be on the other side of this. I paid a boutique consulting firm an eye-watering amount of money during my own application, and while I got into my dream school, I walked away convinced that the value wasn't in the price tag. It was in having someone in your corner who genuinely understood your story and cared about the outcome. That's what I bring. I've spent years mentoring fellow service members navigating this transition, and coaching isn't a side hustle for me. It's something I'm deeply passionate about. My goal is to offer the same quality of guidance I received at a reasonable price point. Whether you're a veteran, active duty, or simply someone with a non-traditional background trying to stand out, I can help you find the thread that makes your application impossible to ignore.

I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and a Master's in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School. I've coached 10+ clients into MBA programs including HBS, Wharton, Stanford, Oxford, LBS, and INSEAD. Having navigated roles across strategy consulting, finance, VC and impact myself, I work with you to decode unconventional career paths and turn them into a sharp, coherent and distinctive MBA narrative. I specialize in helping you build the genuine story that ties your career trajectories, values, and ambitions into a compelling case for why you belong at a top program.

Good advice should not break your bank. And good advice should be unique. I help MBA applicants find the story that makes everything make sense. My specialty is connecting the dots — personally, professionally, and strategically — so your application reads as a coherent, compelling story rather than a collection of disconnected achievements. I am especially strong at helping applicants find their unique voice and differentiation. This is not a Mad Libs approach, and it is not a factory or template. I help you uncover the most powerful unifying storyline behind your life, career, decisions, ambitions, and future direction. Why this path? Why now? How does everything you have done so far logically lead to what you want to do next? What is the deeper pattern behind your experiences? What makes your candidacy feel not just impressive, but inevitable? Over the past 12 years, I have advised roughly 100 applicants, most targeting top 10 MBA programs. My coaching style is intense, direct, and highly detail-oriented. I am a perfectionist about narrative coherence. I push candidates to go beyond surface-level achievements, uncover the strongest themes in their background, clarify credible short- and long-term goals, and translate their experience into essays and interviews that feel specific, mature, and authentic. The final application should not sound manufactured; it should feel honest, distinctive, and unmistakably yours. I am particularly helpful for candidates with complex, international, technical, finance-heavy, startup, or non-linear backgrounds. If your story has many moving pieces, I can help you connect them into a compelling admissions narrative: where you have been, what shaped you, what you are building toward, and why an MBA is the right bridge. My background combines education from MIT Sloan MBA / undergrad at UPenn, international business experience across the U.S. and China, and years of advising students and professionals on applications, essays, interviews, and career positioning. I have worked across strategy, operations, venture capital, M&A, clean tech, and startup commercialization, which gives me a practical understanding of how ambitious candidates should frame their leadership potential, career goals, and personal differentiation.

Hi, I'm Sabrina — a sustainability practitioner and career coach with a background in consulting, based in Toronto and now Berkeley. My path here has been anything but straight: I studied Finance and Accounting, completed five internships spanning audit at Deloitte and consumer fintech at PayPal, then spent three years at McKinsey building my consulting foundation. From there, I took a leap into mission-driven work as a Fellow at Conservation International, focused on ocean conservation finance. Now I'm pursuing a dual MBA and Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley, navigating the sustainability space in real time — which means I know firsthand what it takes to break in, stand out, and build a career with both impact and trajectory. Since college, I've been passionate about helping people find work they're genuinely excited to wake up for. I've been in the thick of tough career decisions myself, and I'd love to help you navigate yours.

I recently navigated the full admissions cycle, securing dual acceptances to both Harvard Business School and Stanford GSB. Because I just finished going through the comprehensive interview loops for both programs, the experience is incredibly fresh. I know exactly how these specific admissions committees evaluate candidates right now, and I’m here to give you real-time insight into what to expect. My background spans elite consumer product management, startup leadership, and interview training. I've scaled features for billions of users at Meta and Walmart eCommerce, built cross-functional teams as Head of Mobile at Kickstarter, and launched early-stage ventures. Having designed interview guides and evaluated hundreds of candidates from both sides of the hiring table, I specialize in teaching applicants how to command an interview room and package their impact effectively. 🚀 The Tech Leader Trying to Standardize Massive Impact You build incredible software, scale features, or manage engineering pipelines but you aren't sure how to translate complex technical metrics into the high-signal leadership narratives that business school adcoms actually prioritize. I help you pull out the human story behind the code. 🎒 The Non-Traditional Candidate with a Winding Path Whether your transcript has a few bumps, you took an unconventional route to finish college, or your career hasn't been a straight corporate line, you're likely worried your background is a liability. It isn't. We will reframe your unique trajectory to make it your absolute biggest competitive asset. 💼 The Leader Who Forgets to Highlight Their Scale You’ve driven massive corporate metrics, stepped into rapid promotions, or launched early-stage projects, but you describe your wins like anyone else could have done them. I’m here to help you own your achievements, pinpoint your specific leverage, and communicate it with absolute confidence. My Approach: Think of our sessions as a mix of rigorous, real-time mock interviews and strategic narrative positioning. I am fully invested in your success, which means you can expect direct, constructive feedback, zero boilerplate advice, and a collaborative framework built around the exact strategies that unlocked admissions to the top two business schools on earth.

MBA admissions and recruiting are ultimately storytelling exercises. The strongest candidates aren't always the ones with the most prestigious backgrounds—they're the ones who can clearly articulate their impact, leadership, and future ambitions. You don't need to have cured cancer or founded a unicorn. You need a compelling, authentic story that clearly demonstrates your impact, motivations, and future ambitions. I work with applicants on MBA applications, resumes, interview preparation, and career strategy. Together, we'll identify the experiences that truly differentiate you, craft a cohesive personal story, and position your profile in a way that feels authentic and compelling. Successful applications don't simply list accomplishments—they tell a coherent story that aligns your past experiences, current motivations, and future goals with what a particular school is looking for. I help candidates identify the archetype that best fits their profile and build a narrative that is both authentic and strategically positioned. I'll give honest feedback, challenge weak narratives, and help you put forward the strongest version of yourself. Whether you're targeting top MBA programs, transitioning into tech, or exploring your next career move, I'll help you approach the process with clarity and confidence.
