“Samara was an amazing MBA coach. She did a great job helping me strategize, prep, and feel confident for my interview. She began by teaching me about the interview process, and then conducted several mock interviews. She was very encouraging and provided necessary and productive feedback. Samara has a lot of knowledge about the interview process and provided me with tips to help me articulate my narrative and provide strong answers to behavioral questions. I left each session feeling more prepared and confident in my abilities. She was also responsive and flexible with scheduling. I would not have been accepted without her advice, support, and encouragment. I highly recommend Samara!”
