Elite Teaching Experience / Structured & Comprehensive Curricula

I have 10+ years of experience tutoring and teaching online and in-person classes for Veritas Prep, which was at one point the world's largest "elite" GMAT prep company. I also helped Veritas improve its curriculum. Many of my test prep clients have already taken popular courses, and as a result, I have built an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of those programs. At Simply Brilliant, I continue to refine comprehensive, modular GMAT, EA, BWA and GRE curricula that give clients the best strategies.

My Story

I was the second person ever accepted for a joint MBA and master's in International Relations at Yale in the University's School of Management and Graduate School of International Relations. Instead of attending, however, I became an interactive media entrepreneur, managing strategic marketing, branding and communications projects for C-level executives at dozens of major companies. Results include helping clients close more than $20 billion in transactions and achieve many other breakthroughs. In one project, I led a team that created McKinsey & Company’s first rich-media training programs for all of its MBA hires worldwide. I now apply these strategic communications skills in advising my MBA admissions consulting clients.
