About Alex
My approach to MBA coaching is built on four pillars: (1) Applicant-centricity, (2) Holistic preparation, (3) Iterative improvement, and (4) Business school optimization. For specific sub-groups of applicants, I can provide additional value, specifically: (1) UC Berkeley Haas applicants, (2) healthcare-focused MBA and/or MBA/MPH applicants (including insider admissions committee knowledge from UC Berkeley Haas), (3) VC or entrepreneurship-oriented applicants. I'm flexible outside my listed availabilities - please message me to find a time that works for you. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xI9-hdorsfVfdsEbmuSJ2NAH8xBWJsaF/view?usp=sharing
