Q & A

What's your coaching superpower?

My coaching superpower is the career perspective that I bring from helping many hundreds of MBAs get their dream jobs. Based on an applicant’s background and career goals, I can provide insight into the right MBA program and help them craft a compelling narrative for why an MBA, and then how the MBA will help the applicant reach professional objectives.

Why are you passionate about coaching?

I love helping people reach challenging and meaningful milestones – it is personally gratifying and fun to be a part of as a coach. I also really enjoy listening to personal stories and learning about the motivations and aspirations of my clients and knowing that I’ve played a role in their success.

What’s your top piece of advice for admissions candidates?

A mantra I use when making important decisions in life is ‘measure twice, cut once,’ a saying that applies to choosing the right MBA program. While goals and plans often change once classes begins, the more effort committed to choosing the right program, the more successful is the MBA academic, career, and social experience.
