Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

I'm so glad you're here! I'm Kristen, a current MBA student at the Kellogg School of Management, where I'm attending on a full-ride scholarship as a Forté Fellow. Last year, I navigated the MBA application process and earned over $300,000 in merit-based scholarships from top-5 business schools, so I know firsthand how overwhelming (and rewarding!) this journey can be. Beyond receiving admits to Booth, Wharton, CBS, Kellogg, and Stern, and successfully helping clients get into top programs like HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, and Booth, my experience includes leading strategic management consulting initiatives and coaching new hires on storytelling and presentation skills. I bring a strong foundation in personal branding, essay strategy, resume writing, and clear, compelling communication. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining your final draft, I'm here to help you approach the process with confidence, creativity, and strategy. Let's turn your MBA dreams into reality - reach out and let's get started!

Welcome! I’m a current Harvard Business School MBA candidate and former Meta professional passionate about helping others achieve their MBA dreams. I graduated magna cum laude from Spelman College, where I served as president of my sorority, was actively involved in several campus programs, and was recognized as both an Executive Leadership Council (ELC) Scholar and an Apple Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) Scholar. Through my experience at Meta and as a Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) Fellow, I’ve developed a strong foundation in strategic thinking, storytelling, and leadership development. I’m passionate about helping others craft authentic, compelling applications and navigate the MBA admissions process with clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to elevate your story and stand out in a competitive admissions landscape, let’s work together to make your MBA goals a reality.

As a current MBA student at Harvard Business School, I bring recent, relevant, and successful experience with top MBA admissions. I coach candidates through every stage of the process, from story crafting and positioning to interview preparation and execution.

I am not an admissions expert! I am simply someone who has experienced the MBA process firsthand and with excellent coaches (shout out to my MLT MBAP coach Natasha!). I applied to 5 programs and secured MBA offers from 4: Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT, and Tuck ($140k fellowship). The process was long, arduous, and at times emotionally taxing, but one of the most reflective periods of my life. I am passionate about supporting others through this process and helping you craft a compelling application that is true to your story. Let's connect and discuss how I can support you in your MBA aspirations!

I have helped over 150 candidates gain admission to INSEAD, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Columbia, Kellogg, Yale SOM, IESE, Oxford Saïd, Cambridge Judge, and other top programs. My clients come from Netflix, Naver, Nexon, Santander, and Accenture. Many are non-native English speakers who need to communicate their potential clearly and confidently, not just translate their CV. I help you see what makes you different and say it in a way that admissions committees will remember. If you are coming from outside the US or UK and want to compete at the highest level, I am the coach who has been there.

Admitted to Wharton & MIT Sloan with merit scholarships + Offers from Google, McKinsey, & Goldman —all with a <3.5 GPA and <320 GRE.

If you have both, that's even better. My Stats: Me: <3.5 GPA, <320 GRE, Scholarship recipient at M7 schools. Multiple roles and promotions at Google.

Stanford GSB MBA graduate and former TALK Coach bringing a wealth of experience in guiding aspiring MBA candidates through the competitive admissions process. Admitted to GSB, HBS, MIT, Kellogg, & Haas. My non-traditional background as an US Army Infantry Officer turned MBA candidate turned Strategy Consultant at Boston Consulting Group provides me with unique insights into crafting compelling narratives and strategic applications. I've successfully coached individuals, helping them refine their application strategy and essays to gain admission to top programs. Whether you're looking to enhance your application or need guidance on navigating the MBA journey, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect!

Every person is unique, and I want to help you tell your story. My MBA clients have been admitted to Wharton (including Lauder), NYU, Berkeley, Columbia, Kellogg and more. As a former Kearney consultant and Wharton/Lauder admissions insider, I help candidates cut through the noise and present their authentic selves—because the best business leaders aren’t carbon copies. My approach blends 7+ years of management consulting rigor with hands-on recruiting and admissions experience. At Kearney, I led teams through complex transformations while honing my talent-spotting skills through recruiting efforts (turns out identifying great candidates isn’t so different from building high-performing consulting teams). And as a Wharton Admissions Fellow, I learned what really makes applications click (hint: it’s not just GMAT scores or fancy job titles). I strongly believe that diverse perspectives fuel innovation—a principle I now bring to my advisory work. As a Wharton Admissions Fellow and Lauder interviewer, I saw firsthand how powerful storytelling can bridge gaps in representation. I’m particularly passionate about helping underrepresented candidates navigate the MBA maze. Whether you’re switching industries, coming from a non-traditional background, or just don’t see yourself in those glossy MBA brochures, I’ll help you translate your unique experience into a compelling story. I am well-versed in global cultural immersion: I hold an MBA from Wharton and a Master of Arts in International Studies from Lauder, as well as Bachelor of Arts degrees in Communications and French from the University of Pennsylvania. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and French, I’ve seen how languages and identities shape leadership, and thus can help candidates turn their unique experiences into competitive advantages. Business schools need leaders who reflect the world—and I’m here to help you prove you belong in the room.

I am a current student of the Kellogg School of Management, with previous work experience within management consulting and in two high growth startups in NYC . I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor of science in Finance and received my masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management. After school, I spent some time at management consulting firm Guidehouse Consulting before I transitioned to a Series B Unicorn food tech startup called Gorillas - the fastest European startup to ever reach a $1B valuation. I led the growth function at Gorillas for one year until I was offered the opportunity to lead North American expansion for micro-mobility startup Zoomo. At Zoomo I led our expansion into new markets, including launching our first Canadian operations. As an applicant from an over-represented demographic with a sub-optimal GMAT score and a lack of "prestigious" work experience I was able to navigate the application process and successfully land multiple top business school admits. As a coach, I plan to teach you the tips and tricks necessary to be successful in the ultra-competitive business school admissions cycle. I had immense success with gaining admission to a number of M7 and Top 10 schools including Kellogg, Yale, and Dartmouth Tuck. Areas I feel I can particularly bring value in coaching include: MBA Coaching: - Crafting a compelling and cohesive story (theme) for your application even with an untraditional work background or sub-optimal GMAT / GRE score. - Helping you stand out to the admissions committee as an over-represented applicant - Writing compelling and effective essays - 6+ month out application plan with a detailed breakdown of your application journey schedule - Preparing for interviews (Mock Interviews) - School and recommender selection advice

I’m an HBS MBA and BCG consultant who has helped applicants earn admits to top MBA programs including HBS, Kellogg, Booth, Yale, Ross, and more. I specialize in helping strong candidates who don’t have “perfect” profiles, especially consultants outside MBB or applicants who feel they don’t stand out on paper, craft a differentiated story that resonates with admissions committees. Clients I’ve worked with have earned admits across multiple M7 and T15 programs with scholarships. When I first applied to business school, I didn’t receive a single interview. I didn’t understand how to position my background in a crowded pool of high-achieving applicants. The following year, I rebuilt my approach, earned multiple admits with full rides, and ultimately attended Harvard Business School. Since then, I’ve worked closely with applicants across the full process through school selection, essays, and interviews to help them stand out and convert at top programs. If you feel like you’re in the “middle of the pack” but know you’re capable of more, I can help you turn that into a compelling, differentiated application. I've successfully guided many clients through the MBA application process, helping them craft compelling narratives for M7 admits. Whether you're looking to refine your application strategy or need insights into the consulting world, I'm here to help you achieve your MBA goals. Let's connect and make your application stand out! I am especially interested in helping folks coming from non MBB consulting backgrounds to stand out in an extremely competitive applicant pool.
