Edwin’s MBA Qualifications
Welcome to my profile! As a current MBA student at The Wharton School and a Master in Law candidate at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, I bring a unique blend of business and legal expertise to my coaching. Coming from a non-traditional background of public policy, I know how daunting it can be to apply to MBA programs. Prior to Wharton, I spent 5 years at the American Financial Services Association, where I advised consumer lending companies on state legislative and regulatory issues. I am also a disability inclusion advocate, serving on the board of a nonprofit called Full Spectrum Agency for Autistic adults. I am also the President of Wharton's Disability Empowerment & Action League. Before becoming a Leland coach, I have coached prospective students, helping them navigate the competitive MBA admissions process. I am especially excited to work with applicants from non-traditional backgrounds or who are passionate about disability. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your strengths and sets you apart. Reach out to start your journey to an elite MBA program!
