Hi! I’m a second-year MBA student at Stanford GSB. Before business school, I was an Associate at Blackstone and an Analyst at Morgan Stanley. I applied from finance, so I know how hard it is to stand out when so many applicants have similar backgrounds. I was admitted to Stanford, Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, and Columbia, with about $400K in merit-based aid. I most enjoy working with people from finance, consulting, and accounting/audit who are trying to figure out what makes their application different. I can help with school selection, application strategy, essays, and interview prep. I’ve also been involved in competitive debate for over a decade, so interview practice is something I especially like doing. Feel free to reach out with any questions and sign up for an intro call!
