Sarah has been coaching MBA applicants for more than eight years, supporting clients from a wide range of backgrounds to complete successful applications for top business schools. The life-changing experience of applying to and attending business school developed Sarah’s passion for helping clients set and articulate career path goals and create authentic applications that bring to life their unique strengths and qualities.
Sarah received her MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and her BA in business management from Michigan State University. After earning her MBA, Sarah worked as a management consultant for Boston Consulting Group (BCG), serving clients across a range of industries including financial services, consumer products and technology, before transitioning into the nonprofit sector. As a director at an education nonprofit providing leadership development and coaching to leaders transitioning their careers, Sarah reviewed thousands of applications and interviewed hundreds of candidates for the highly selective program. Sarah has also served as Vice President of Talent and Strategy for a charter school organization, and has built and led sales teams in the beverage industry. Her experiences sitting on all sides of the interview table allow her to bring deep perspectives and value to her clients as they prepare to present themselves to admissions committees.

Sarah was an incredible thought partner throughout my entire application process, especially the essays. I couldn’t have crafted such a compelling narrative without brainstorming with Sarah. She was committed in understanding my background & got to know my story well enough that she could point out relevant examples to help me make a pithy point. As a Wharton alum, Sarah was particularly helpful in tailoring my essays to fit their expectations. As a result, I was accepted to 100% of the MBA programs I applied to & will be attending Wharton in the Fall
Sarah was great to work with – she really helped to take my applications to the next level. She is deeply knowledgeable about what schools are looking for and how to craft your ‘story’ to not only properly reflect your background, but also to sell you as much as possible. Working with Sarah was a very smooth experience always helping me to stay on track and readily available to offer support whenever needed. I definitely believe that my applications would have been far weaker without her input!
Sarah was an instrumental part of my MBA application process. More than a consultant, she was a thought partner and someone who was truly invested in seeing me succeed. Sarah pushed me to be introspective and pinpoint elements that best represented my true self. She supported me every step of the way from story ideation, and resume revisions, to most importantly, nailing down the essays. She has a unique gift for highlighting the best elements of an individual and finding creative ways to convey their ‘why.’ Ultimately if it weren’t for Sarah, I would not have had the courage to apply this upcoming application cycle. Largely because of her support and constant encouragement, I was able to secure acceptances from multiple T10 schools, one of which offered a full-ride scholarship. I strongly recommend Sarah!
I can’t thank Sarah enough for her invaluable help in helping me craft the perfect application for HBS, my dream school, as well as several other programs.
I began working with Sarah believing that my ‘story’ was fairly generic. Through weekly phone calls and exercises, Sarah was able to guide me through an incredibly introspective deep dive into my key experiences and accomplishments. From our discussions, I was ultimately able to craft a compelling story and well-defined goals that I otherwise wouldn’t have explored. Sarah never wrote for me, but she continuously pushed me each draft to go deeper and question my actions and career choices further until my essays were truly reflective of me.
In addition to my essays, Sarah helped me completely revamp my resume. When we started, I presented Sarah with a jargon-filled, industry-specific resume. Sarah helped me to transform my accomplishments into a descriptive guide for adcoms to understand my career trajectory and impact at work.
Finally, after submitting my applications, Sarah shared incredibly useful materials to help me prepare for the interview and gave me a mock interview, which completely de-stressed the oddities of this year’s Zoom interviews! Furthermore, throughout the entire process, Sarah was immediately responsive to all my ad hoc questions, emails, phone calls, etc.
I wholeheartedly believe I wouldn’t be matriculating to my dream school next year without her help, and I can’t recommend her enough!
