Hi, I’m Angela! I’m here to help you take charge of your career, whether you’re navigating your first role, overcoming challenges in the workplace, or preparing for your next big opportunity. With a background spanning education technology, venture capital, entrepreneurship, and consulting, I bring a unique blend of real-world insights and personalized strategies to help you achieve your goals. Currently, I lead Stanford’s Education Entrepreneurship Hub, where I mentor emerging leaders and founders to build impactful ventures. I’ve also coached dozens of early-career professionals on landing their first jobs, excelling in their roles, and standing out in competitive markets when transitioning to their next positions. My mentees have gone on to secure roles at leading companies in consulting, finance, tech, health, and other industries, pursue advanced degrees at top schools, and step into leadership positions at startups and nonprofits. My coaching approach is collaborative, action-oriented, and tailored to your unique journey. We’ll work together to craft resumes that tell your story, build a professional narrative that showcases your value, and prepare you to ace interviews with confidence. I also focus on helping you develop the skills and mindset needed to thrive in your role and make informed decisions about your career growth. Whether you’re breaking into a new field, looking for clarity and confidence in your current role, or ready to leap into something bigger, I’m here to be your trusted partner and guide.

About Angela
Hi, I’m Angela! Consider me your strategic partner for admissions, consulting recruitment, and career growth. I hold a graduate degree from Stanford, where I was one of fewer than thirty students admitted annually to the Master’s in International Policy, and I also earned admission to Penn’s prestigious Huntsman Dual Degree program, which accepts only fifty students each year. I went on to found Stanford’s Education Entrepreneurship Hub and today serve as an Entrepreneurship Instructor at Stanford, where I teach high-caliber courses for emerging founders. Beyond Stanford, I’ve been recognized globally as a recipient of multiple competitive fellowships in education technology, social impact, and venture building - experiences that sharpen my ability to coach ambitious professionals navigating elite academic programs and top-tier career paths. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of applicants and early career-changers secure admissions to the world’s most competitive programs and roles, from M7 MBAs and top policy schools like Harvard Kennedy School and Columbia SIPA to offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, and other leading firms. My clients choose me because I combine insider insight with proven strategy and candid, empathetic guidance that transforms not just their applications but their long-term trajectory. As a former recruiting lead at Deloitte, I reviewed thousands of applications and personally coached candidates into MBB and Big 4 firms, while at Stanford I have mentored founders and students shaping the future of education and work. What sets my coaching apart is a rare combination of perspective and results. I understand what selective institutions and employers are really looking for, I know how to position candidates under high-stakes pressure, and I’ve built a track record of success with clients who face sensitive essay topics, last-minute timelines, or complex career transitions. I’ve even created a career product trusted by 11,000+ early-career professionals, extending my impact far beyond one-on-one coaching. My work is premium because the outcomes are premium. Clients describe me as the person who turns uncertainty into clarity, self-doubt into confidence, and ambitious goals into concrete results. If you’re serious about breaking into the programs and roles that will define your future, let’s connect. Together, we’ll map your goals, confront your challenges, and create a strategy that not only opens doors but positions you for success long after. Your vision is possible. Let’s make it inevitable!
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it feels like to wonder if the doors you dream about are really meant for you. For a long time, I thought opportunities like Stanford were for “other people” until a few mentors stepped into my life and believed in me before I fully believed in myself. That changed everything. Their guidance wasn’t just about strategy - it was about reminding me that I belonged in the rooms I was reaching for. That’s exactly the kind of coaching I want to give to you. Yes, we’ll work on the applications, the essays, the interviews, but more than that, I want you to feel seen, supported, and pushed to step into your full potential. To me, coaching is about uncovering your story, clarifying what actually motivates you, and making sure the goals you’re chasing truly align with who you are. By the time you hit submit or walk into that interview, I want you to feel not just prepared, but deeply confident in yourself and the path you’re choosing. That’s the transformation I care about most and why I take such an intensive, personal approach with every client I work with.
