About Abigail

I’ve coached 50+ clients into top MBA programs; including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and other M7 schools, through both traditional and deferred pathways. I also work with non-traditional applicants, helping them translate unique experiences into powerful admissions stories. Beyond business school, I support early-career professionals landing roles at leading firms such as Amazon, BCG, Capital One, Morgan Stanley, and fast-growing startups. I’ve also guided students into top PhD and master’s programs across a wide range of fields. For high school and undergraduate students, I provide hands-on guidance with FAFSA, scholarship applications, class planning, and admissions strategy. Many of my students have won full-ride scholarships, earned admission to top universities, and positioned themselves for long-term academic and financial success. My background includes admission to Harvard Business School’s 2+2 Deferred MBA Program, Columbia Business School’s Deferred Enrollment Program, and Yale’s Silver Scholars Program. I graduated with honors in Economics and Psychology, scored a 331 on the GRE, and now work on PwC’s AI Strategy team under the Chief AI Officer. Whether you’re preparing for business school, building your early career, or planning the best college experience, I’ll help you craft a clear, compelling narrative—and move forward with confidence.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know how overwhelming and opaque the admissions and career process can feel, whether you’re applying to college, MBA programs, or navigating your first job search. When I was applying to business school, I didn’t know anyone in my personal network who had gone through the process before. What made the difference for me was the mentorship I received from people who believed in me, helped me find my voice, and pushed me to aim higher. I wouldn’t be where I am today, accepted to HBS 2+2, Columbia’s Deferred Enrollment Program, and Yale Silver Scholars, without their guidance. Coaching is my way of paying it forward. I’ve been in your shoes: second-guessing my story, revising my essays for the tenth time, stressing about scholarships, or wondering how to make my resume stand out. I coach to demystify the process and help students and professionals tell their stories with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re a high school student working toward a full-ride scholarship, a non-traditional MBA candidate, a first-gen student, or someone pivoting industries early in your career, I’m here to be the coach I wish I had even earlier in my journey.
