About
I am a dual-degree student at Harvard and MIT, passionate about helping applicants turn any experience into a standout story. Before graduate school, I worked in government consulting, advising state health agencies on Medicaid innovation and social-impact strategy. I also interpreted Executive Branch policy for the CEO of my firm, helping shape strategic decisions that affected hundreds of public-sector clients nationwide. Finally, I served as president of a national mentoring nonprofit that supported first-generation and low-income students during COVID-era learning loss. Having coached dozens of friends and colleagues into elite programs, I bring a strategic yet personal approach to every applicant I work with. Whether you are coming from a traditional background in consulting or business, or a nontraditional path in public service or social impact, I help you communicate your strengths with clarity and authenticity. My goal is simple: to help you articulate your story in a way that makes admissions committees, and you, see just how exceptional it already is.

Zachary’s Master’s Programs Qualifications
Zachary has helped clients get into these schools:
As an MPP student at Harvard Kennedy School, I bring firsthand insight into what top policy programs seek in applicants—clarity of purpose, demonstrated impact, and the ability to translate complex ideas into action. I have a broad range of experience helping students beyond Public Policy, including Master's in Design Engineering, Mid-Career Master's programs, and Real Estate programs. I am especially skilled at helping candidates tell multidimensional stories that combine service, leadership, and data-driven problem-solving. Whether you are a career public servant, a consultant seeking impact work, or a student exploring policy for the first time, I can help you craft a focused, authentic application that stands out to top graduate programs.

Why do I coach?
I coach because everyone deserves a fair chance at opportunity. Coaching makes a real difference in the admissions process, yet too often the people who would benefit most from it cannot access it. I have seen how insider knowledge, clear feedback, and strategic storytelling can transform an application, but traditional coaching is often out of reach for many talented applicants. That reality motivates me to do this work. For me, coaching is about more than admission offers. It is about providing the same quality of guidance and insight that others might pay thousands of dollars for. It is about creating a fair process where potential, not privilege, determines opportunity. I aim to help every applicant feel confident, informed, and empowered to present the best version of themselves—because that is exactly what they deserve.
Work Experience
President
Kalos Academy
September 2022 - June 2024
As President of Kalos Academy, a national nonprofit serving first-generation, low-income college students, I led efforts to expand mentorship, strengthen programming, and drive student success. I helped design and implement a year-long curriculum that equipped FGLI students with the academic, professional, and personal tools to thrive in college and the job market. Under my leadership, Kalos supported more than 100 students in earning competitive internships, transferring to their top-choice universities, and building confidence in their long-term career paths.
Consultant - Senior Consultant
Deloitte
September 2020 - August 2025
At Deloitte, I advised state and federal health agencies on complex Medicaid modernization and social-impact initiatives. My work focused on designing and implementing innovative healthcare programs that improved access, reduced costs, and strengthened outcomes for vulnerable populations. I also interpreted Executive Branch policy for Deloitte’s CEO and senior leadership, helping translate federal priorities into actionable strategies that guided the firm’s public-sector growth. This experience sharpened my understanding of how public and private sectors intersect to drive systemic change—an insight I now bring to both my graduate studies and my admissions coaching.
