About Angela

Hi! I’m Angela - your partner in admissions, career transitions, and all things professional growth. My background spans education technology, venture capital, consulting, and entrepreneurship, giving me a unique 360° view of what it takes to succeed in today’s competitive landscape. I completed my Master’s at Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (where fewer than 30 students are admitted each year) and was accepted into every grad program I applied to, including Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia SIPA, and Johns Hopkins SAIS. I founded and currently lead Stanford’s Education Entrepreneurship Hub, a role I networked my way into, mentoring emerging leaders and entrepreneurs to build high-impact ventures. Why Work with Me? Success is more than an acceptance letter or job offer, it’s about forging a path aligned with your core values and long-term aspirations. Over the years, I’ve coached well over 100 applicants and early career-changers in securing admissions to top programs or securing roles at prestigious firms. Mentees often mention my ability to handle sensitive essay topics, last-minute timelines, and unique career hurdles, all while helping them stay grounded and motivated. I also created a product trusted by 11,000+ users to navigate their early career transitions - from finding to excelling in their first jobs! *MBA Admissions* • Proven Results: I’ve guided a diverse range of MBA candidates, including military veterans, mid-career professionals, recent grads, and current college students into MBA and deferred MBA programs across the M7. • Holistic Approach: From sentence-level edits to big-picture narratives, I make sure every part of your application aligns with your broader career goals and you put your best narrative foot forward. • Confidence & Clarity: My mentees frequently highlight how I help them navigate both logistical hurdles and mental stress, leading to authentic, compelling applications that stand out to admissions committees. *Grad School (Policy + Education) Admissions* • Inside Knowledge: I was accepted to every policy-focused program I applied to (including Stanford MIP, HKS, Columbia SIPA, Johns Hopkins SAIS, Tufts Fletcher, Sciences Po, UofT Munk School) and now advise applicants on everything from program research to funding. • Stanford Accelerator for Learning: Through my work at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, I mentor students across a range of education programs, providing firsthand insight into what top schools expect. • Empathy & Expertise: Having been in your shoes, I understand the unique challenges policy and education applicants face. My advice is grounded in real experience, not theory. *Consulting Recruitment* • Recruiter’s Perspective: As a former campus and experienced-hire lead at Deloitte, I personally reviewed thousands of applications, designed interview questions, and coached 50+ candidates into offers at MBB and Big 4 (60% at MBB). • Case Mastery: I wrote my own case materials based on actual client work and teach you how to think like a consultant, not just memorize frameworks. • Well-Being Matters: Breaking into consulting is intense; I emphasize a human touch and mental health so you perform at your best. *Career Coaching and Early-Career Acceleration* • Multi-Sector Experience: From education tech and venture capital to consulting and entrepreneurship, I’ve navigated major transitions and love helping others do the same. • Action-Oriented Strategy: I combine resume and LinkedIn refreshes, networking best practices, and interview prep to create a clear roadmap for leveling up or pivoting. • Mentorship Mindset: My role at the Stanford Education Entrepreneurship Hub allows me to mentor founders and early-career professionals, sharpening my ability to guide clients toward meaningful, sustainable success.
