Welcome to my profile! As an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School and a graduate of Brown University, I bring a wealth of experience in strategy, product management, and AI/ML operations from top companies like Apple and Cruise. My journey has equipped me with the insights and skills to help you navigate the competitive MBA admissions process. I have successfully coached five clients, leveraging my firsthand experience to refine their applications and interview strategies. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that stands out.

As a coach specializing in MBA admissions, I bring a unique perspective and set of skills to help applicants stand out in the highly competitive landscapes of Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and The Wharton School. Here’s why I am the ideal coach to guide you through this journey: Personal Experience from an Overrepresented Background: I understand the challenges of coming from an overrepresented background in the MBA applicant pool. Having done my undergraduate studies at a middle-of-the-pack state school and working in private equity, I successfully navigated the competitive admissions process myself. This personal experience allows me to empathize deeply with applicants who may feel their backgrounds are too common to stand out. Storytelling Expertise: My specialty lies in transforming seemingly generic profiles into compelling narratives that captivate admissions committees. I focus on helping candidates articulate their unique stories, highlighting the aspects of their experiences and personalities that make them distinct. By uncovering and emphasizing your authentic voice, I ensure that your application paints a vivid and memorable picture of who you are. Comprehensive Application Guidance: I provide end-to-end support throughout the entire application process. From brainstorming essay topics to fine-tuning the final drafts, I am with you every step of the way. My approach ensures that each component of your application—essays, recommendations, interviews—works in harmony to present a cohesive and compelling story. Strategic Application Planning: I help you develop a strategic plan for your application. This includes advising on how to allocate different parts of your narrative to various sections of the application. For example, I might suggest that Recommender A focuses on specific achievements or qualities, allowing you to use your essay space to elaborate on different aspects of your journey, thereby maximizing the impact of each part of your application. Theme and Narrative Integration: One of my key strengths is helping you identify and weave throughlines in your experiences that tie your entire application together. This thematic coherence not only makes your application more compelling but also helps the admissions committee understand your trajectory and potential in a holistic manner. Personalized Coaching: Over the course of our work together, I get to know you on a deep level. This personal connection allows me to tailor my coaching to your specific needs and aspirations, ensuring that the advice and strategies I provide are directly relevant to your unique situation. By working with me, you will not only enhance the quality of your application but also gain a clearer understanding of your own narrative and how to present it powerfully. Let’s work together to turn your application into a compelling story that stands out and captures the attention of the admissions committees at HBS, GSB, and Wharton.

Welcome to my profile! I'm a passionate MBA coach with a diverse background in entrepreneurship and brand building.

I graduated Harvard Business School in 2018 and one of the favorite parts of school was serving as an admissions representative and helping prospective students navigate the admissions process. I am passionate and excited to help clients pursue their business degree in the way and place that best fits their needs. Before business school I worked as a marketing engineer at Texas Instruments (yes, the calculator company) in a role that was a liaison between our sellers in the field and engineers at corporate. It was a great job but I knew I wanted to learn more about business through an MBA. I quickly realized telling my story and background was tricky for a business setting because of how “non traditional” it was. Thus began my hate-affair with the phrase “non traditional”. I believe anyone and everyone regardless of your background has something to contribute to and can benefit from a business education. Thinking through what that could look like for clients and sharing what I’ve learned from my research and experience is why I coach in my spare time. After graduating HBS, I received a full time off from my internship in strategy and operations at Google and now work in the office of the CTO at Verily. During my time at Google, I helped Google Cloud scale with the growing industry and also worked part time in our internal incubator, Area120, on an AI integrated home fitness platform startup and now do chief of staff/strat ops functions for Verily's tech org. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dogs, scuba diving, teaching fitness classes, and watching college football.

Congratulations on applying to MBA programs! I was recently in the same boat. I applied to MBA programs in the fall of 2023 and was admitted to Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, and Kellogg School of Management with a full-tuition scholarship. Luckily, now I am at the fun part where I get to decide where I want to spend my next two years. I am a strong communicator, love writing, and am a pro at crafting a unique story that fully encapsulates who you are. I am known for providing detailed feedback on resumes, essays, and keeping the trains on the track (just ask my friends about my many spreadsheets). Together, we will build an end-to-end project plan that allows you to feel in control throughout what is a very open-ended process. Additionally, I am also here for those tougher questions, such as "What schools should I even apply to?" Let's work together to get you into your dream MBA program!
