Welcome to my profile! I was accepted into deferred MBA programs at the Harvard Business School and Wharton School of Business after graduating from a non-target school with an 82% acceptance rate. I had big dreams in undergrad: get into an M7 business school. But, I had no connections, no target background, and no clue how to get there. I share this because if I can do it, you can too. My journey taught me the power of authentic storytelling. Allow me to share my experience and help you craft a striking application, bringing your unique story to light.

While working in the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Admissions Office, I reviewed hundreds of applications and learned what distinguished the successful candidates from those who were merely qualified for admission. As a member of AIGAC (https://aigac.org/) I spend time with the admissions teams of the top business schools to better understand what each school is looking for each year. Over the last 15 years, I have successfully helped both US and non-US-based MBA applicants translate their rich global experiences into compelling, relevant, and memorable applications. I am especially proud of the scholarship offers that my clients have landed, summing to more than $500K over the years! I deliver a unique approach to MBA admissions consulting, combining the art of storytelling with persuasive communication techniques, thereby offering my clients a distinct advantage over other applicants. I also specializes in helping MBA candidates who want to transition to a new career path, guiding them on how to convince admissions officers that an MBA will put them on the path to success in a brand new field.

I'm here to help you brag about yourself -- it's always easier to brag about a friend than it is about yourself. As someone who has always struggled with how we tend to be defined by our jobs in the US, I hope to make your application more about the real you. My HBS essay was about how hard my dad worked to keep us afloat in the US -- not about the slides that I made at Bain, even though I am proud of that achievement. I have extensive experience with the HBS, GSB, Wharton, and Consortium (Darden and SOM) applications and have continued to help folks get into HBS since my own admissions in December 2021.

The choice to pursue an MBA is a significant investment of time and resources, and it deserves a thoughtful approach. I'll partner with you on any and all parts of your process. I'm a Ross MBA (University of Michigan) with admissions committee experience at Ross. I've spent the last 15 years successfully coaching MBA applicants through the admissions process with my own firm (MBA Pathfinders) and with top-rated consulting firms (Stacy Blackman and mbaMission), and have helped clients earn admission to HBS, GSB, Wharton, Booth, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Columbia, Haas, Stern, Darden, Tuck, Johnson, Darden, INSEAD, and many others. I've collaborated with a range of candidates, and have had great success with those from more traditional backgrounds seeking a way to stand out among a sea of qualified peers, as well as those from non-traditional backgrounds who need guidance articulating how their talents and aspirations will fit into an MBA class. If you're looking for a seasoned, professional coach who's seen it all and can help guide you through the whole process, let's work together!

I started my career in MBA admissions at Stanford GSB as a full time admissions officer evaluating applications, creating the deferred college admissions process and training people on how to identify incredible leaders in a competitive applicant pool. I later did a stint in Haas MBA admissions as well. I have read applicants from across industries- traditional and non traditional and across countries. For the last 7-8 years I have been a MBA consultant for Bancroft Admissions Advising, coaching clients to tell their best stories in a manner that compels and admissions committee to admit them. I have worked with clients in industries including Retail, Tech (including cleantech, healhtech, fintech, proptech etc), Sustainability, Real Estate, Finance, Consulting, Food and Agriculture, Entertainment, and across roles (engineers, product, marketing, founders etc.,) you name it! My clients are regularly admitted to the top 10 MBA programs (full time, part time and exec and deferred) . I am known for giving honest advice from an admissions committee perspective and gently coaxing people to tell stories that reveal who they are and how they have made an impact in the world!

I've been coaching candidates to help present the best possible version of themselves for deferred MBA applications. Applicants that I have coached have been admitted to Wharton, HBS, Columbia and more top programs.

Admitted to Stanford GSB’s deferred MBA program as a college senior, I offer firsthand expertise in navigating both deferred and regular MBA admissions. From selecting schools to crafting essays, excelling in interviews, and choosing the right program for you, I’m here to help you succeed.
