I'm a current MBA student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, formerly at McKinsey and JCPenney. I applied to the GSB three times before I got in, so I know what it takes to crack a top MBA program. Together, we can tackle your application and get you into your dream school. As a coach, I'll take a non-cookie cutter approach to your application, and will take the time to help you build a story that is uniquely yours. From your resume to your essays, I'll ensure that every piece of your application brings your best foot forward, reinforcing your strengths and emphasizing why your dream school needs you in their next class. Additionally, I was graciously offered full ride scholarships to attend Kellogg and Wharton and can help navigate the process to ensure you reach your fullest potential for merit awards. If you're reapplying to your dream school, or need help tying together a cohesive story of what makes you unique, I'm your guy.

As a current Stanford GSB MBA and a triple admit to GSB, HBS, and Wharton, I have helped clients to refine their story, edit resumes, essay reviews, and mock interview practice.

I have always loved writing and crafting a compelling story. I worked in the Office of the CEO at BlackRock for several years, managing both the CEO and the firm’s narrative, and I understand how to appeal to a professional audience while finding space for personality and passion to shine through. I managed my own MBA application process and was admitted to Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton. I received feedback from the admissions counselors at each school and was able to overcome weaknesses in my application through my storytelling and interview skills. I’ve helped clients, friends and peers navigate the process including everything from time management and confidence building to narrative crafting and storytelling. The MBA process is incredibly unique and difficult, and I am excited to help people find their voice and stand out amongst a crowd!

Experienced Coach with proven track record of helping aspirants crack their MBA Admit. I have the tendency to go all in and I would not rest till we have together made multiple iterations to perfect that essay and application.

As a graduate from top MBA program UCLA Anderson, I know what it takes to put together a successful application for MBA programs. I understand the entire process understanding the hardship and struggles it takes. As a coach, I provide end to end support for the entire process, building my clients confidence throughout the process so that they start their MBA program feeling ready. I'm particularly skilled at helping others craft, embrace, and communicate their story ensuring that all written deliverables of an MBA application come together to make my clients stand out. Since my launch I've helped clients get admitted to their dream programs (with scholarship offers), including top MBA programs like Haas, Ross, Kellogg, Fuqua, Anderson, INSEAD, and Marshall. More importantly than helping my clients get admitted, I've provided my clients the support they needed for this major step, with my clients all expressing gratitude for the confidence they feel in their own abilities.

I am not an admissions expert! I am simply someone who has experienced the MBA process firsthand and with excellent coaches (shout out to my MLT MBAP coach Natasha!). I applied to 5 programs and secured MBA offers from 4: Stanford GSB, Wharton, MIT, and Tuck ($140k fellowship). The process was long, arduous, and at times emotionally taxing, but one of the most reflective periods of my life. I am passionate about supporting others through this process and helping you craft a compelling application that is true to your story.

My coaching journey naturally began with my own experience applying to MBA programs both within the US and globally, and I have been able to leverage my unique knowledge to enable students to put their best profile forward for admissions committee. My mix of international and US applications gives me a broader experience base both for students looking to go abroad, or coming from non-traditional US backgrounds. When applying for my MBA, I was dead set on the idea of living abroad and was accepted to Oxford and London Business School in England. A turn of events in my life led me in later application rounds to apply to the Wharton School of Business, a top 3 business school, where I ultimately attended. My successes at these schools, paired with my rejections from Harvard and MIT, enables me to sympathize with your application process and offer real insights based on both the successes and bumps in the road. Another important point is that I myself worked with a third-party coach in preparing my applications, so the dynamic of coaching is not new to me and has enabled me to refine my approach and materials thanks to hundreds of reviews by other experts. My broad experience across schools, and expert-reviewed approach, enables me to truly understand each step they are going through and to empower the students I work to bring forward their best selves.

Of the 9 schools I applied to, I was accepted to 8, and waitlisted at 1. Given my unusual application timing (round 3 during Covid after being evacuated from Colombia with the Peace Corps while serving overseas) I have more first-hand experience than nearly anyone into these school's interviews and admissions processes. I received scholarships as well ranging from full-rides to partial at these schools and can advise on negotiations.

Despite being from an overrepresented demographic, I managed to get accepted into all three programs that I applied for (INSEAD, Oxford, and Berkeley). Additionally, I had major financial and time constraints because I already had 2 children (at the age of 28!) before applying to business school. I'm not a naturally good test-taker so I had to be both efficient and creative to pull this off. I was able to get into these programs because I'm strategic, resourceful, and know how to craft a story with the audience in mind. I have a lot of experience teaching/training and am excited to help you craft your story and demonstrate to admission committees that you are unique and that you have a lot of value to add to their programs.
