Ex-McKinsey Manager | HBS MBA | Out-of-the-box MBA applications

As a former McKinsey Engagement Manager and passionate supporter of aspiring MBA candidates, I specialize in guiding individuals through all stages of the admissions process. I’ve helped 10+ candidates at various stages, including selecting the right schools, developing essay and recommendation strategies, refining resumes, and preparing for interviews. For myself, even without a stellar GMAT score, I secured interviews at all the schools I applied to with an out-of-the box story, and I can help you achieve the same. My unique European perspective and creative storytelling skills have helped clients craft applications that captivate admissions committees. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and achieve your MBA dreams!
