I enjoy helping clients introspect about their lives, often surprising them with what I perceive to be the aspects worth highlighting, and then showing them how to communicate those facets to admissions committees. While challenging work, it’s also rewarding as this type of exploration and the resulting applications leads clients to succeed with the black-box admissions process.
Coming from a less traditional background, having spent five years working in US Foreign Policy as a Management Officer at the US Department of State, I understand the importance of framing your experiences in a way that shows why business school is the right next step. Before receiving my MBA from Wharton and MA from the Lauder Institute, I earned my BA from Johns Hopkins University and worked as a manager for Amazon’s national fulfillment distribution network.
After Wharton, I decided to take a more unique path and moved to Lima, Ohio–a small midwestern town where the closest commercial airport is two hours away–to help lead a turn around project for a 60 year old community-focused wholesale food distribution company.
Outside of work, I enjoy meditating and getting involved with the local Lima community. I also love learning languages and speak fluent Hindi and Urdu, as I spent more than a year living in India and spent significant time studying the language in academic and professional settings.
