Consultant Bio

I’m a Kellogg alum (2008) and the founder of Admissions Gateway. Since 2018, I’ve been the most-reviewed MBA admissions consultant on Poets & Quants, and P&Q’s #1-ranked consultant in 2025.

With a background in product management and entrepreneurship, along with experience as a Kellogg Admissions Ambassador and Alumni Association Secretary, I bring both analytical rigor and creative storytelling to the admissions process. Over the years, I’ve guided 1,000+ candidates from 20+ countries into top programs, with a strong focus on competitive applicants targeting Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton.

Having gone through the re-applicant journey myself, I know firsthand how painful rejection from a dream school can be. I channel that experience into ensuring others never go through the process feeling unprepared or unheard. My coaching style is highly personalized and mentor-like, approachable and without limits: I’ll keep working with you until your application is ready to win.
