A Joy To Work With!

I absolutely loved working with Joy throughout the 2024-2025 MBA application cycle, and I cannot say enough amazing things about my time working with her! Joy is a seasoned expert in every aspect of the MBA application process, from researching schools, to fine-tuning career goals, from essay writing, to interview preparation. What stood out most to me while working with Joy is the very personalized approach she takes to working with her clients. During our initial meetings, Joy pushed me to introspect and dug deep into my background and life experiences to get to know the real me behind my resume and find the right stories to tell, often ones I wasn’t even aware of to begin with! Then, Joy was instrumental in helping me bring those stories to life on paper, with targeted feedback to naturally illustrate impact, leadership, community-building, growth, interpersonal connection, and so many other wonderful qualities through the power of story. To write and refine over 10 essays over the course of just 2 months, while also refining my resume, professional experiences, and career goals seemed like a daunting proposition when I first started working with Joy. Joy and I corresponded almost daily, and her mix of tactical feedback, ideas, insights, and meticulous reviews were critical in getting me through it all. Beyond the nuts and bolts of working on the application itself, I’ll always remember Joy’s enthusiasm, positive encouragement, and emotional support, that made what might have been a stressful time a highly enjoyable experience. I’ve always felt the very best mentors help you learn to help yourself – and Joy epitomizes this in every sense of the word. I can confidently say that I have grown as a writer and even learned more about myself through my time working with Joy! With Joy’s support, I was thrilled to be accepted to Stanford, my first-choice program, and I’m incredibly thankful to have gotten the chance to work with her. If you’re lucky enough to work with Joy, you can be confident you’re getting the absolute best!
