Stanford MBA / HBS, Wharton, CBS admit / Consultant / State-school graduate
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)
