I got into Wharton as a 35-year-old with a 2.85 undergrad GPA My success was a result of my ability to effectively tell my story and build a compelling application.

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.

I built a standout business school application by owning my story instead of trying to fit a template. I learned how to pair real leadership experiences with my core values to create a narrative that felt both authentic and compelling. That approach helped me earn admission to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Kellogg - including multiple merit scholarship offers. I now help applicants clarify what makes their journey unique and translate it into a focused, confident application story. You should work with me because I have lived both sides of the admissions process. I was rejected when I applied to deferred enrollment in college, and that experience pushed me to develop a smarter, more intentional strategy when I reapplied six years later. I know the sting of “no,” and I also know what it takes to turn that into a resounding “yes.” My goal is to help you avoid the mistakes I made and present the strongest, most authentic version of your story to top programs.

We can engage in rigorous interview preparation and negotiate scholarships. I can also help you with time management if you're also taking the required exam and working while applying. I bring a warm, practical approach to coaching and can't wait to work side-by-side and help you navigate the MBA application process.
