About Dione

ABOUT ME - Professional MBA and career coach. Specialize in top 10 programs, expert writer, Stanford BA/MBA I'm a full-time professional MBA coach with 12+ years admissions experience and over a decade of coaching hundreds (!) of diverse MBA applicants to success. Being a trusted, knowledgeable and dedicated MBA coach is not a side gig! The first in my family to graduate from college, I earned a BA at Stanford where I double majored in Economics and Communications (with concentrations in journalism and sociology). After graduating with Phi Beta Kappa honors, I held diverse roles (forecasting, communications, President's staff, HR tech) in the telecommunications industry before returning to Stanford GSB for my MBA. I've worn many hats, in my career, and working with very different organizations (startups, corporations, nonprofits) in multiple capacities (marketing, partner development, communications/writing, strategy, chief of staff, consulting) in the US, Asia and Europe. I continue to be an involved Stanford GSB alumna: class secretary, alumni chapter leadership team, nonprofit consultant, active contributor in affinity groups (women, Asians, DEI), and a few years ago, was inducted to Stanford's honorary organization for their most valued (top 2%) volunteers. I believe in the power of education to change lives. I'm lucky to have found my calling in helping others to achieve their educational and career goals. I draw on my professional experience, ongoing community involvements, love for storytelling and the energy and satisfation that I get from helping others. I love to travel, read, and continue to learn from and be inspired by a rich network of friends, former classmates and and coaching clients from all walks of life.
