Consultant Bio

I am a former Director of Admissions at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, where I evaluated and interviewed Full Time MBA applicants globally.

I was the admissions liaison to the Kellogg student affinity networks and oversaw end to end admissions for the MSMS program with Northwestern University. I have led hundreds of domestic and international sessions as brand ambassador for the Kellogg MBA programs. Additionally, I lead MBA recruiting nationally for the largest professional services firm in the world. In this role, I have developed a deep understanding of the post MBA employment market.

I earned my Bachelor degree in Communication from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking and recreational sports.

P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • 100% Worth It! Got Into My Dream Business School
    12 months ago
    Frenk truly helped me shape my story in a way that made sense. Thanks to his guidance, I ultimately had options to choose from—rather than simply hoping to be chosen. I ended up at my dream business school. You don’t always get more than you expect when paying for a service, but this was one of those rare cases—I got far more. Both Frenk and the entire team at Personal MBA Coach, including Scott, genuinely cared about my success and supported me every step of the way. Frenk was fully invested in helping me reach my goals, constantly pushing me to improve and challenging me to build the strongest candidacy possible. His dedication and belief in me made a real difference in my journey.

    Frenk was absolutely amazing. He worked through the entire admission process with me, breaking it down into simple, accomplishable steps. His understanding and insight into the process, in addition to the information by Personal MBA, was instrumental in my school acceptances. He was understanding, responsive, and super encouraging throughout the whole process.
