Embark MBA was born from my passion for helping candidates achieve their MBA goals after serving on Columbia Business School’s admission committee. I reviewed countless applications, interviewed candidates, managed the world-wide interview program, served as a waitlist manager, and managed the dual degree programs for the Law, Medical, and Journalism schools. Thereafter, I began my career in finance, with stints at a hedge fund, large bank, and venture capital. Despite this, I missed helping candidates craft their stories. I returned to the admissions world in a different role - consulting for friends and colleagues.

On the other side of the admissions journey, I saw gaps in the application process that I knew I could help bridge. The admissions process is hard to navigate alone; guidance around testing is limited, telling your narrative within the confines of a few essays and a resume is challenging, and how admissions committees make decisions can seem like a black hole. Embark MBA’s mission reflects these gaps - work closely with a small number of candidates to provide best-in-class advice and frameworks to yield positive admissions outcomes.

Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of MBA-hopefuls get accepted to top US and European business schools across full-time, executive, and part-time programs.
