I'm a university lecturer, professional editor and GMAT instructor who has helped hundreds of MBA applicants get into the world’s top business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, Chicago Booth, Berkeley Haas, UCLA Anderson and many more. Each of those successful candidates brought unique strengths that we worked to highlight and challenging weaknesses that we worked to overcome when developing an effective admissions strategy.

I’m a native of Los Angeles and a graduate of UCLA. While earning my degree in biochemistry, I directed and lectured for an on-campus medical training program for the UCLA Department of Emergency Medicine. Later, after switching to business, I began lecturing to MBA students and have done so now for many years.

For a period of time, I worked for one of the largest test-prep companies in the United States, where I taught hundreds of aspiring graduate students how to master standardized exams. My exams included the GRE, LSAT, MCAT and—my specialty—the GMAT. Perhaps because I enjoy standardized tests, I quickly became the company’s principal GMAT instructor in Los Angeles and trained all our new teachers. I was also the first person at the company to help MBA applicants craft effective application essays that helped them be admitted to elite MBA programs.

More recently, I founded and currently run an educational charity that puts disadvantaged students into college.

I've been fortunate to have helped hundreds of terrific applicants into top MBA schools, and I remain connected with most of them to this day.
