Top Career Path &Goal Strategist | AI Leadership | +Admissions Review
Empathetic & straightforward MBA admissions coach with 10+yrs experience. Drawing on my deep understanding of admissions' vision, I guide clients in creating authentic stories and ambitious goals that reflect their past experiences and future potential. I challenge applicants to discover their leadership voice using admissions insights, proven frameworks, and confidence-building techniques. Together we will brainstorm and battle test your goals ensuring uniqueness, vision and connection to your abilities - clients in the past have started up companies based on the ideas we formulated together. →I work with a select group of international/US candidates each round from diverse backgrounds (from technical backgrounds that feel an MBA is out of reach to top consultants struggling to differentiate). I offer amazing coaching to a select few, to do so I lessen sales calls. When I review your profile I am committing to partner with you to maximize your profile - include it in your message. I will not oversell you, we chose each other. → Skip the free intro call. The quickest way to plan your application, assess your chances, discuss your goals, and determine your ideal package is to get deep and personal by booking a paid 2hr session then decide how much more coaching you want - according to my reviews, it's a worthwhile investment. ->Additional review by former admissions officer included in Start-to-finish school packages ->Hourly purchases will be credited toward start-to-finish school packages* ->Optional access to insights that mimic hundreds of successful essays via AI writing tool ->I apply my superpower as an innovator and storyteller to walk clients through a framework that helps connect the dots of past experiences and future aspirations.
