Applying to business school is all about telling a compelling story. Where did you come from? How did that shape who you are? Who do you aspire to be? What do you hope to accomplish? And finally, how does the MBA connect your past to your future? As an MBA coach, I help applicants tell good stories in their resume, essays, and interviews. My approach is informed by my own experience learning to tell a coherent story about my winding path through the intensity of the Army Special Forces, the fast-paced and hyper-competitive of world Silicon Valley, and most recently, the endlessly fascinating world of coaching. I focus on military applicants, who face the added challenge of translating their stories into language that resonates with the admissions committee. That’s where I help the most. I’m intimately familiar with the service to school transition because I’ve done it, gaining admission to my three target schools – Stanford, Berkeley, and MIT – all while still on deployment.

I am a current student of the Kellogg School of Management, with previous work experience within management consulting and in two high growth startups in NYC . I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor of science in Finance and received my masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management. After school, I spent some time at management consulting firm Guidehouse Consulting before I transitioned to a Series B Unicorn food tech startup called Gorillas - the fastest European startup to ever reach a $1B valuation. I led the growth function at Gorillas for one year until I was offered the opportunity to lead North American expansion for micro-mobility startup Zoomo. At Zoomo I led our expansion into new markets, including launching our first Canadian operations. As an applicant from an over-represented demographic with a sub-optimal GMAT score and a lack of "prestigious" work experience I was able to navigate the application process and successfully land multiple top business school admits. As a coach, I plan to teach you the tips and tricks necessary to be successful in the ultra-competitive business school admissions cycle. I had immense success with gaining admission to a number of M7 and Top 10 schools including Kellogg, Yale, and Dartmouth Tuck. Areas I feel I can particularly bring value in coaching include: MBA Coaching: - Crafting a compelling and cohesive story (theme) for your application even with an untraditional work background or sub-optimal GMAT / GRE score. - Helping you stand out to the admissions committee as an over-represented applicant - Writing compelling and effective essays - 6+ month out application plan with a detailed breakdown of your application journey schedule - Preparing for interviews (Mock Interviews) - School and recommender selection advice

I bring a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience to the MBA admissions process. I received admissions offers to every school I applied to: Tuck, Columbia, Michigan, Foster, and NYU Stern (full scholarship). The path to admissions wasn't easy; studying for the GMAT while working full-time, asking for and managing reference letters, writing essays, and addressing weaknesses in the optional essay. I'll help you navigate this process with insight, precision, and compassion. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

I come from a tech background with degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering and work experience at a large tech company and building a startup. I initially struggled to complete a strong application since I viewed my background as too technical and found it difficult to split my time between a demanding job, prepping for the GMAT, and writing multiple essays. After overcoming these challenges the hard way and earning acceptance to the schools I applied; I'd like to help clients up their best application forward and gain admission to their dream programs.

Hello! I am a current MBA candidate at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I offer a fresh perspective on the MBA application process – I recently underwent the MBA application journey and found success with multiple M7 acceptances while coming from a traditional, overrepresented applicant background. Regardless of an applicant’s hard stats, a successful MBA application requires a compelling story, powerful essays, and a polished resume, crafted via rigorous introspection of one’s experiences, strengths, and gaps. Whether it’s helping you narrow down a list of schools, brainstorming around your story, strategizing/reviewing essays and your resume, or helping prep for interviews, I’m here to provide end-to-end guidance throughout your application journey to help you stand out from the crowd.
