About Nikki

I am a graduate of Harvard Business School with a long-standing passion for coaching and storytelling. I have worked with MBA applicants accepted to Harvard Business School (including the dual degree with Harvard Kennedy School), Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT Sloan, and London Business School. I began my career at Bain & Company where I worked in technology, consumer goods, and retail. In search of something with more impact, I left Bain to work for New York City’s government in economic development and climate change mitigation. Next, I switched my focus to startups in the climate-tech space and worked for a renewable energy startup in Kenya, food-tech startups during my MBA in the US, and then an ag-tech startup based in Germany. Given my background, I particularly enjoy working with MBA applicants whose applications are focused on startups and/or social impact. I also have expertise in helping former consultants or people with public sector experience. I am well positioned to coach students with an international background given I have worked in North America, Africa, and Europe. However, I am excited to work with all types of candidates so don’t hesitate to reach out. My key coaching strength is helping candidates to craft, articulate, and crystalize their personal stories. I then help candidates to weave this story across their application from essays, short-answers, recommendations, resumes and interviews. I look forward to helping you reflect, self-discover, brainstorm, and create your most authentic and compelling application narrative. My coaching style is supportive, direct, and time-efficient. If you are experiencing financial hardship, I am open to discussing discounts if you think we could be a good match.
