I’ve seen how quickly the admissions process can turn into performance — polished, optimized, and disconnected from the person behind it.
I do this work because strong applications come from clarity, not pressure. When ambitious professionals are given space to think honestly about their experiences and aspirations, something shifts. Their story becomes grounded. Coherent. Real.
For more than two decades, I have guided MBA applicants to the world’s most selective business schools by combining strategic rigor with deep human insight. My background in improvisational theater and international education allows me to bring an uncommon blend of analytical precision and presence-based coaching to the admissions process.
I work with a small number of clients at any given time to ensure focused, individualized advising.
