Annie is an experienced and passionate coach who uses the power of storytelling to inspire humanity and empower individual growth. She went through the deferred admissions process last year, and successfully crafted a strategic & holistic narrative despite having a sub-par GMAT score, received interviews with Stanford GSB, UPenn Wharton, and Chicago Booth programs, and received letters of recommendation from highly influential people such as the business school dean, a Partner at a Big 4 firm, and world-class faculty. Now, as a Michigan Ross graduate and a deferred admit to the University of Chicago Booth Scholars Program, she hopes to offer comprehensive assistance to students who are looking to apply for deferred MBAs. At the University of Michigan, Annie served as an academic writing coach for underresourced first-years hoping to transfer into the competitive Michigan Ross business school, so she has reviewed over 20 application essays from diverse students, and deeply understands what top business programs are looking for in their candidates. As a first-generation college student, Annie has always highly valued education and conducts thorough research to further her abilities. She is seeking not just coachees, but mentees, who come from underrepresented backgrounds to provide complete resource guides, top-secret tips to the application process, and a thorough review and analysis of their application essays.

Mentees in last 2 years were accepted by GSB and Wharton. Hyper-focused on actively listening and asking the right questions to understand your unique journey so we could craft your story in an impactful, personal way

I applied for deferred MBA programs in 2021, and was accepted into Harvard Business School's 2+2 program. I feel passionate about helping individuals find their unique story to craft in their application, setting them apart with their own background and experiences. Since being accepted, I have helped countless others with questions about the process, and feel I can be a valuable resource in creating your own powerful MBA application.

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.

Hi! I'm a Harvard MBA graduate and received admission through the deferred admit / 2+2 program (with a GMAT of 760). I've had a diverse set of work experiences both before HBS (venture capital, social activism, government) and since (Goldman Sachs, The Economist, and now transitioning into creative work / poetry). I love coaching people and particularly enjoy helping international students, and students from unconventional or underrepresented backgrounds. Funnily I've also had a lot of experience getting rejected from places (across sectors and regions!) - which has taught me a lot about what works, and what doesn't -- and how to stay sane through it all :)
