Kind, Clarifying, Strategic!

Strengths:

I think that Jen’s greatest strength is her ability to ask thoughtful questions that help you uncover what's really driving you. She went so far beyond just helping me put together the applications to really pushing me to think deeply about my career goals, my longer-term direction, and my own motivations. When I was vague or unsure, she dug deeper, asked sharper questions, pulled in things I had written or said literally MONTHS BEFORE, and helped me articulate myself better than I ever had. This helped me in more than just my essays, and her kind but truthful feedback in interview practice sessions made me feel less imposter syndrome and like I had truly earned those interviews.

Beyond this authentic narrative shaping, Jen was a fantastic help while navigate big strategic choices, especially around geography and school fit, which helped me get to my final school decision. Throughout the process, she was incredibly efficient, organized, and responsive, even while working across multiple time zones, crazy travel schedules, etc. Her edits were always thoughtful, fast, and aligned to my experiences and goals, which mattered to me a lot while juggling work, extracurriculars, and personal life.

Working with Jen was THE most impactful decisions I made during my MBA application journey. I came in feeling genuinely unsure about my chances and struggling to clearly articulate my story. I was fortunate to be admitted to my dream school (HBS) and to receive $200k+ in merit scholarships at Columbia, Yale, and two other programs—and I genuinely don’t think those outcomes would have been possible without her support. I left the process not just accepted into my top choice schools, but feeling more confident and ready to jump into my MBA.

I cannot recommend Jen highly enough to anyone who wants both honest rigor, a truly fun and genuinely kind person, who will be deeply personally invested in their journey. She'll challenge you in a gentle yet exciting way, all while helping you get the best version of yourself in front of the admissions committees.
