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!

Never in my life could I have dreamed about ending up in Stanford. But I did. I went to school in Egypt and didn't have role models who obtained advanced degrees, let alone from the top MBA program in the world. It is not impossible. I am here to help as many people from a non traditional background end up in Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Columbia and other top schools. I have helped numerous friends with their GSB, HBS, Wharton applications. I am here to do the same for you. From strategizing, to outlining the essays to making direct edits.

I'm a Stanford MBA student and former management consultant, excited to help you prepare your best possible MBA application. After graduating from Ohio State University, I started my career at EY-Parthenon, first in Sydney, Australia, and then in New York full-time. During my time at EY-Parthenon, At Parthenon I specialized in the consumer products and retail sectors, and served on the firm's Americas strategy committee. As a candidate, I went from re-applicant to acceptances at Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton, Columbia, and Darden (with a full cost of attendance Jefferson Fellowship). As a coach, I'm great for prospective applicants to the GSB and/or HBS. I can help fine-tune your story and brand, articulate your "Why" for an MBA at your desired school, explain a desired career pivot, and connect the dots between your professional and personal experiences. I have tangible exercises and frameworks for school selection, essay writing, resume building, interview prep, and waitlist strategy. As an applicant who started in a traditional "feeder" industry myself, I can help you stand out and craft a wholistic application. I recently went through the application process myself, and can help applicants of all types. Furthermore, I can provide first-hand perspective on the following: 1. Re-applicants 2. Applicants with degrees from state schools 3. Applicants coming from management consulting - helping you stand out 4. First-gen American applicants - helping bring your background and story to life 3. Fellowship applications (e.g., Jefferson Fellowship - Darden, Knight-Hennessy - Stanford GSB)

After initially applying to 5 schools, being accepted to 4 and waitlisted at Stanford GSB, I determined my dream was to attend Stanford and applied again, this time, being accepted in Round 1 the following year. If you are interested in developing a waitlist strategy or if you are a reapplicant, I'm uniquely positioned to help. Alternatively, if you're just investigating the MBA, I can be a sounding board to help you make your decision.

I'm an enthusiastic and resourceful business professional with a decade of experience in venture capital, entrepreneurship and strategy consulting and an MBA from Harvard Business School. My 99th percentile GMAT score and prior work experience for a test prep company inform my approach to GMAT / GRE prep, but I know that the MBA application process is about more than just a test. I help my clients craft unique, holistic application materials that reflect their qualifications beyond scores and resume bullet points. As part of my admissions guidance I offer career coaching to help clients articulate what they want to get out of their MBA program and why. My versatile career across finance, consulting, and entrepreneurship as well as my prior experience as a career coach at HBS have informed my unique perspective on how to pivot between industries and get the most return on a top tier MBA program.
