Harvard MBA/MPP | Former VC | Startup Chief of Staff
As a Harvard Business School and Kennedy School graduate with extensive experience across venture capital, investment management, impact investing, and startup operations, I bring a unique perspective to MBA admissions coaching that combines elite academic credentials with real-world business impact. During my dual-degree program, I served as a Rock Center Fellow, student government officer, and was selected for HBS' inaugural RISE Career Fellowship, giving me deep insights into what top business schools value in candidates. I also believe in helping candidates think holistically about the application process, including how this might impact their lives financially and personally. I'm particularly passionate about helping candidates from non-traditional paths, drawing from my own experience. Let's work together to showcase your unique story and secure your spot at your dream school!
