I have a deep understanding of what business schools value in their students. Spending the past 23 years working with candidates worldwide, I led Business School Recruitment and Admissions for Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School, Georgetown’s McDonough School, and the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz School. In my role as Executive Director and Assistant Dean of Admissions, I oversaw admissions committees for the MBA and master’s programs in Management of Information Systems, Computational Finance, Business Analytics, and Product Management.  Over the course of my admissions experience, I have reviewed over 38,000 applications!

I have been fortunate that my work has taken me to over 43 countries across the world. I suspect this contributes to having a taste for all types of food, even if I can’t replicate the dish when I return home. One of my favorite activities when visiting a new place is to make a stop at a local grocery store to get a sense of what everyday life would be like there.  Of course, I always look for the local interpretation of my favorite ice cream flavor – chocolate with chocolate and more chocolate!
