Chicago Booth MBA - Helping students from non-traditional paths!

Welcome to my profile! If you're unsure how to tell your story—especially if you come from a nontraditional background, didn’t attend a “target” school, or just need a sharp thought partner to elevate your essays and resume—you’re in the right place! For the past two years, I’ve served as a career coach at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, helping students shape narratives that stand out. Before that, I spent five years in management consulting, leading teams and turning complex insights into clear, high-impact messaging. With a background in corporate strategy, healthcare, and data science, I’m especially helpful to applicants navigating less conventional career transitions—whether you're moving from technical roles into business or aiming to break into top programs without a traditional pedigree. Let’s work together to craft an application that’s strategic, authentic, and truly differentiated. Reach out to get started.
