Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Experts

I was an alumni MBA school interviewer so I know what schools look for. I was also an MBA coach once in school and so I also know what it takes to be successful once you're in.

When I was in your shoes, I could not afford an admissions consulting firm, or to pay a former adcom member who only understands how one school thinks. I personally authored 100% of my end-to-end applications (essays, CVs, interview preparation, etc.) without these resources. Through a deep understanding of how to craft an authentic application, I was admitted to four Ivy League undergraduate schools, as well as to all three of the deferred MBA programs: HBS 2+2, Stanford Deferred Enrollment, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars program. My clients have been admitted to all SEVEN top MBA programs, including all three deferred MBA programs. I coach to give prospective students like you access to gold-standard application prep that will turbocharge your ability to land admissions ACROSS all top business schools: -- Without the admissions consulting firm price tag -- With the perspective of someone who has been admitted to and attended multiple Ivy League schools (vs. an adcom member who only understands the perspective of one) 💯

As a first-generation college graduate from the South Side of Chicago, I know what it means to navigate the MBA journey without a roadmap. I learned how to manage the entire process, including school research, GMAT/GRE prep, essays, interviews, and funding, by being resourceful, intentional, and strategic. That same scrappiness helped me earn admission to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business with a scholarship. After being admitted, I completed the MLT MBA Prep Accelerated Program, which helped me secure a consulting internship before classes even started. I went into Booth already positioned for success because I understood how powerful it is to prepare early. Over the years, I’ve supported aspiring candidates and consultants through case studies, storytelling, and interview preparation. When you work with me, you can expect support in developing authentic and mission-driven storytelling that reflects your full self. You can expect strategic guidance grounded in lived experience from someone who has navigated this journey with limited resources and still earned admission to a top MBA program. You can also expect clear and actionable feedback that cuts through the noise and helps you strengthen your application. Most importantly, you will have a coach who genuinely believes in your potential and is committed to your success. Pursuing an MBA was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. It expanded my vision of what is possible, reshaped my leadership, and opened doors I never imagined. I want to help you experience that same transformation, no matter where you are starting from.

I just completed one of the most competitive MBA application cycles in history, earning admission to MIT Sloan (where I'll be attending), Columbia Business School, Kellogg, Booth, and Stern—with interviews at 6 of the 7 M7 schools I applied to. But what truly qualifies me as a coach isn't just my own success—it's my passion for teaching. I currently guest lecture at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and have spent years mentoring Accenture analysts, teaching underprivileged children in India, and leading pro-bono consulting projects. My family's legacy in education taught me that the best coaches don't just know the material; they genuinely care about their students' success. As a strategy consultant at Accenture for 4 years, I've honed the storytelling, analytical, and strategic thinking skills that make MBA applications successful. I've lived this process recently and intimately, tackling diverse essay formats and navigating competitive interview processes. I succeeded as a public university graduate breaking into M7 schools and understand how to position unique backgrounds as strengths. Whether you're a consultant looking to differentiate yourself, a public university grad aiming for M7, or someone with a mission-driven story to tell, I'll bring a data-driven, personalized approach to help you craft a winning narrative.

Hello and welcome! I’m a current MBA student at Wharton with a bachelor’s degree with distinction in Economics from Georgetown University. Professionally, I’ve worked in private equity consulting and in product strategy at Meta. I’ve been passionate about admissions for years. I wrote my college thesis on the topic, and enjoy helping others navigate both college and MBA applications. Through receiving MBA admission offers from Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia Business School, Yale SOM, and Tuck, I developed a strong understanding of how differently each top program evaluates candidates. I also bring a strong teaching background, having served as an Economics Teaching Assistant at Georgetown and as a tutor at Wharton for Corporate Finance and Advanced Microeconomics, which has strengthened my ability to give structured and actionable feedback. As a coach, I work with applicants to thoughtfully tailor their positioning, essays, and resumes for each school while keeping their overall story authentic, so they can present a compelling narrative that resonates with admissions committees.

I’m a CPA and a Tax Manager at Deloitte. I’m on Leland because I know what it’s like to feel "pigeonholed" in a highly technical, niche role while eyeing a top-tier MBA. I successfully pivoted from Big 4 Tax to securing Full-Ride Scholarships at both Chicago Booth and Northwestern Kellogg, along with admission and scholarship offers from MIT Sloan, Columbia (CBS), Yale SOM, Duke Fuqua, Dartmouth Tuck and NYU Stern. My focus is helping "quiet" professionals translate their technical rigor into the high-impact leadership stories that M7 schools look for. I’ve lived the 60+ hour work week grind while navigating the application cycle, and I’m here to help you audit your own experience to find the threads that lead to an M7 acceptance (and hopefully with scholarships).
