My husband and I had a truly wonderful experience working with Joy. My husband first collaborated with her on his application to Columbia’s MBA program — and he was accepted! Later, as an architect, I had the pleasure of working with Joy on both my master’s for Columbia and doctoral applications, and I was fortunate to be accepted into both prestigious programs. Joy is an exceptionally professional and talented writer. Her communication is clear, warm, and timely, and her insights and guidance greatly strengthened my applications. She has a unique ability to highlight each person’s authentic story and help it shine through in writing. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, and I highly recommend Joy to anyone seeking expert guidance and thoughtful support throughout their application process.

I first connected with Zain during my final year of undergrad to help navigate my career decisions post-graduation, and his mentorship was truly invaluable. He helped me gain clarity, shared honest perspectives, and asked thoughtful, purposeful questions that challenged my thinking. Zain’s advice gave me the confidence to make key career decisions, and years later, it still stands out as a major influence on where I am today. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trusted mentor.

If you need someone who makes you feel like you can truly conquer the world, Jack is that person. He has a rare gift for turning your experiences and skills into opportunities that feel right for who you are — not just what’s out there. Jack combines heart and strategy in everything he does. His data-driven insights, paired with his kindness and big-picture vision, help you see possibilities you might never have imagined and take clear, achievable steps toward them. Jack has shaped my journey in the most meaningful ways — he was the reason I pursued my first master’s degree in the Philosophy of AI eight years ago, and now he’s guiding me as I take the next step toward a technical management role at a Big Tech company. Whether you’re exploring new roles, refining your resume and LinkedIn, or mapping out a five- or ten-year career plan, Jack’s support brings focus, structure, and purpose. I walked away from our sessions not only with a clear sense of direction but also with the confidence that I can actually make it happen.

Mantasha is one of the most thoughtful and encouraging coaches I’ve ever worked with. She has this rare ability to listen deeply and help you uncover clarity in even the most confusing moments. Whether it’s navigating tricky work dynamics or planning a big career move, she offers guidance that’s both practical and empowering. Every session felt like a step forward, and I always left feeling more confident and focused.

Felipe was instrumental in my success in reaching the interview stage for the Schwarzman Scholars program. His guidance on my application essays was exceptional; he helped me refine my narrative to be both compelling and authentic. His insightful feedback truly elevated my application and was directly responsible for helping me to get to the interview stage where only the top ~300 applicants out of 5000+ globally are selected. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Sherveen was especially helpful in helping me negotiate my offer when joining a new company. He’s advice tends to be solid, and also pushed me out of my comfort zone in a good way.

Sherveen is one of the most thoughtful and generous people I’ve met in tech. He helped me navigate a pivotal point in my product design career with patience, insight, and genuine encouragement. Anyone would be lucky to have his guidance or collaboration.

Joy is an incredible thinker, writer, and mentor. She helped me focus on the meaningful narratives in my professional and personal life to accomplish on of the biggest goals I have ever set to myself. She didn't just guide me on narratives, she helped me make career choices at critical intersections, as I was building up my profile and connecting the dots. I strongly recommend her as a coach.

Mantasha is the person I recommend to everyone. When I came to her for help on things like approaching conflicts with colleagues or unique career paths, she created a space grounded in upward change, without shame which made it easy to open up and actually grow. She creates connections with others in a genuine way that encourages trust and collaboration. Mantasha doesn’t just talk about solutions; she helps people work through challenges thoughtfully and turn them into real, actionable progress.

Mantasha is super approachable and amazing at helping folks navigate what’s next in their careers. In my case, she helped me launch mine (!) and make some lasting connections in the process. I kept running into dead ends trying to job search without any extra input. After talking things over with Mantasha and reworking my approach, though, not only was I feeling more confident applying to positions, I was also able to field the opportunities I had into a full-fledged career!
