Founder, CEO, & Instructor
Jun 2025 — Present
Founded Engage Prep to revolutionize test preparation for ambitious adult learners who refuse to sacrifice their sanity for their scores. After 20 years witnessing brilliant students burn out from traditional \"grind culture\" approaches, I built a company that puts human wellbeing first.What I do at Engage Prep:• Provide 1:1 strategic coaching for GMAT, GRE, and Executive Assessment preparation• Design difficulty-based learning frameworks that build momentum, not overwhelm• Guide students through test selection decisions (often saving months of misdirected effort)• Navigate complex accommodations processes for students with learning differences• Integrate mindset work, stress management, and sustainable study habits into all programsMy approach combines over 15 years of curriculum development and frontline teaching experience at an industry-leading test prep company with trauma-informed training and a deep understanding of adult learning differences. Students achieve their target scores while maintaining their mental health, relationships, and full-time careers.Because the best test prep strategy is the one that actually fits your real life.
