Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

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

Hi, I am a recent graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA '25) who received admittance and over $750k+ in combined scholarship dollars to HBS, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Yale SOM, and Fuqua. During my time at HBS, I was the co-VP of Admissions for the LASO, working hand-in-hand with the HBS admissions team to foster events and outreach. I came to HBS with over 5+years of investment banking experience at Citi and spent my MBA summer as a consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Shortly after earning my MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, I began coaching MBA applicants through one of the most transformative processes of their professional lives. Over the past 13+ years, I’ve helped candidates from around the world gain admission to top programs, My approach combines insider insight with personalized strategy. Having gone through the process myself and having worked with dozens of successful applicants, I understand what schools are really looking for beyond test scores and resumes. I help applicants uncover their most authentic stories, position their strengths with clarity, and bring polish and purpose to every element of their applications, from essays and recommendations to interviews and school selection. What sets my coaching apart is a balance of strategy and empathy. I believe that great applications are not just well-written—they are deeply personal and strategically aligned with a school’s values and culture. My goal is to ensure that every client feels confident, authentic, and prepared to put their best self forward.

As a coach specializing in MBA admissions, I bring a unique perspective and set of skills to help applicants stand out in the highly competitive landscapes of Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and The Wharton School. Here’s why I am the ideal coach to guide you through this journey: Personal Experience from an Overrepresented Background: I understand the challenges of coming from an overrepresented background in the MBA applicant pool. Having done my undergraduate studies at a middle-of-the-pack state school and working in private equity, I successfully navigated the competitive admissions process myself. This personal experience allows me to empathize deeply with applicants who may feel their backgrounds are too common to stand out. Storytelling Expertise: My specialty lies in transforming seemingly generic profiles into compelling narratives that captivate admissions committees. I focus on helping candidates articulate their unique stories, highlighting the aspects of their experiences and personalities that make them distinct. By uncovering and emphasizing your authentic voice, I ensure that your application paints a vivid and memorable picture of who you are. Comprehensive Application Guidance: I provide end-to-end support throughout the entire application process. From brainstorming essay topics to fine-tuning the final drafts, I am with you every step of the way. My approach ensures that each component of your application—essays, recommendations, interviews—works in harmony to present a cohesive and compelling story. Strategic Application Planning: I help you develop a strategic plan for your application. This includes advising on how to allocate different parts of your narrative to various sections of the application. For example, I might suggest that Recommender A focuses on specific achievements or qualities, allowing you to use your essay space to elaborate on different aspects of your journey, thereby maximizing the impact of each part of your application. Theme and Narrative Integration: One of my key strengths is helping you identify and weave throughlines in your experiences that tie your entire application together. This thematic coherence not only makes your application more compelling but also helps the admissions committee understand your trajectory and potential in a holistic manner. Personalized Coaching: Over the course of our work together, I get to know you on a deep level. This personal connection allows me to tailor my coaching to your specific needs and aspirations, ensuring that the advice and strategies I provide are directly relevant to your unique situation. By working with me, you will not only enhance the quality of your application but also gain a clearer understanding of your own narrative and how to present it powerfully. Let’s work together to turn your application into a compelling story that stands out and captures the attention of the admissions committees at HBS, GSB, and Wharton.

I was admitted to HBS in the 2022 cycle, despite having a lower-than-average GMAT, being a first-generation college student, and not hiring a consultant for myself. I'm now a recent graduate from Harvard Business School with extensive experience coaching friends and clients through their MBA applications over the last two years. I was one of six students from my year chosen to participate in HBS' admissions committee, where I supported the admissions team with welcoming students to campus and sharing advice on applying to HBS. Meanwhile, I was actively supporting my friends in their business school ambitions, who are attending HBS, Sloan, Wharton, and Anderson. During the last two MBA application cycles, I have helped at least one client get accepted into all M7 schools. Out of my clients, 5 will be attending HBS, 3 at GSB, 1 at Wharton, 2 at Sloan, 2 at Booth, 1 at Columbia, and 0 for Kellogg (maybe this year). I work full-time at Bain as a consultant, so this is simply something that I'm passionate about and want to continue doing on the side. I ask that if you're coming to me you're serious about applying and working through this process together, as I don't anticipate taking too many clients this year.

I love mentoring and coaching students and applicants - I regularly volunteer my time with the Berkeley Haas entrepreneurship program by providing course content, speaking opportunities, mentorship hours, and coaching. I also regularly support incoming MBA and MPH students with application review, interview prep, and more. While at Haas, I worked with the MBA & MPH admissions committees for a year and picked up a bunch of tips and tricks to hack the process! My journey: pre-med undergrad > biotech scientist > healthcare management consulting > grad school > healthcare entrepreneurship & venture capital
