I’m a Wharton MBA and Princeton MPA with a professional background in energy and climate. At Wharton, I also served as an Admissions Fellow, which gave me firsthand insight into what top programs look for in applicants. I particularly enjoy working with candidates interested in the intersection of business and public policy, social enterprise, and broader social impact. My advising style is direct and transparent—my goal is to identify where you can strengthen your candidacy while helping you present your story authentically and with confidence.
When I’m not thinking about applications or energy markets, you’ll likely find me drawing on my Midwestern roots and baking a pie—or hiking one off somewhere around the Bay Area.

Chris was incredible to work with. Over several months, he supported me through multiple iterations of my resume, helped me thoughtfully select and position my recommenders, and guided me in shaping a cohesive personal narrative and professional brand. He worked with me through 20+ essays across 8+ dual-degree applications, providing detailed and strategic feedback at every stage.
Beyond technical editing, he helped me build confidence in my story and refine how I wanted to show up in these applications. I genuinely feel that my materials, and my clarity about my long-term goals, were significantly stronger because of his guidance. I would highly recommend him to anyone navigating competitive academic or professional applications.
Chris was an awesome thought partner who pushed me to think about my career goals and find a cohesive story that connects my past experiences with my goals. He was extremely responsive, especially around deadlines, and made the process a lot less stressful.
Chris was an incredible support throughout my MBA application process and an absolute joy to work with. He took the time to truly understand my background and story, was consistently timely and thoughtful in his responses over email and during our meetings, and provided extremely valuable, tactical feedback on all of my application materials. He also has a deep understanding of how to support dual-degree applicants, offering equally strong guidance on both policy and business materials. Beyond his expertise, he brought a positive, encouraging energy to every interaction, which made what can be a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I genuinely would not have been able to submit the strength of materials I did without his guidance, insight, and support.
Chris was critical in shaping the strategy and story of my MBA program applications. More importantly, he was a thought partner to my overall career. From our first conversation, he added value in shaping how I thought about where I’ve been and where I want to go.
His depth of experience, particularly in the climate space, was invaluable. Chris provided comfort and reassurance through the ups and downs of the application process making it a much less stressful experience. He went above and beyond in turning comments on my last-minute essay submissions and offering his perspective and network to think through my career.
I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a thoughtful, effective, and kind guide through the application process. Thank you again Chris!
