Hi! I'm Maya, an award-winning Product Manager with a strong background in Fintech, Blockchain, and the Creator Economy. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School, where I co-chaired the Entrepreneurship club and organized the inaugural HBS Blockchain Conference. During my time at HBS, I launched a venture-backed tech startup, Privy Labs, where I am currently still Founder & CEO. As a longtime player in the NY startup ecosystem, I have mentored over 100 early-stage entrepreneurs on how to build revenue generating MVPs, raise VC, and navigate the Founder landscape. If you're an aspiring entrepreneur looking for guidance on your MBA journey, let's connect and discuss how I can help you achieve your goals!

As the former Associate Director of Career Management at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, David served as a strategic advisor for the school's Admissions Office. He created profiles of ideal candidates across MBA career pathways and informed the feasibility of applicants’ proposed career pivots. He also advised Chicago Booth on their dual degree programs (JD, MPP, MD, MPCS) and relevant career outcomes. Given his experience as the most in-demand career coach for 1.2k MBA students and as an admission advisor at the world's best business school, David offers you a true comprehensive, strategic insight into the MBA application data, process, and outcomes. David has a track record of successfully advising candidates on their MBA applications. He loves defining your narrative, crafting your personal and career goal essays, developing strategies for your networking and admissions events, building your interview stories, and perfecting your resume and LinkedIn profiles. His students have received offers and scholarships from top MBA schools such as, but not limited to, HBS, Wharton, Chicago Booth, and Yale SOM.

MIT Sloan MBA and admissions coach with experience helping candidates select schools, edit resumes, develop compelling essays, prepare for interviews and manage the waitlist process. My focus is on ensuring that you have the strongest possible holistic application package. That means no caps on my offerings - unlimited essay reviews/edits, as many live sessions as necessary and I'm always available via text or email.

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. Besides sitting on Northwestern's alumni admissions council, I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook, so I've spent many hours "on the other side of the table" and can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by interviewers and admissions committees. I enjoy coaching people from a huge range of backgrounds, but I specialize in coaching folks from lower-income families, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from unconventional backgrounds trying to thrive in tech.

She's a mentor, friend, and on many occasions...a therapist.” MARKETING & WRITING EXPERTISE - Held a variety of product marketing, product management, and investor relations roles over my 19 year corporate career, which honed my positioning and messaging skills (if I can make a boring old mutual fund compelling, think of what I can do for you!) - More creative writing pursuits include penning a #1 Amazon Bestselling book for first time moms in 2020 and serving as a sports writer for The Daily Princetonian in college

Coming from a non-target undergraduate institution and non-target work place I secured admission at MIT and Harvard and know how difficult it is to do so. I can help you tell your story and really stand out. I make things accessible and break them down into bite sized goals to help you put your best foot forward. While in my MBA program I worked at Bridgewater Associates and then had offers from Goldman Sachs TMT SF and Morgan Stanley Tech Investment banking groups. I also won the P.D. Soros Fellowship for New Americans (1% acceptance rate, $90,000) and the Zuckerman Fellowship (full ride at Harvard + Stanford), which helped fund a large part of my graduate degree.
