About

Welcome to The Art of Applying, a place for interesting people who are looking for guidance on getting into their top schools and getting the most out of their careers. I’m Kaneisha, and I want to help you get into your dream school and snag that awesome job using the strategies and philosophies I’ve learned over the last 12 years. I’ve successfully applied to dozens of exclusive schools, programs, and scholarships, and it’s time to spread the love!

I graduated with a joint MBA and MPA degree from Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School of Government in May 2010 and earned 2nd Year Honors at Harvard Business School (top 20% of students).  I was hired by Harvard Business School MBA Career Services to coach my fellow students on how to network effectively while I was still a student, and the Harvard Business School Rock Center for Entrepreneurship awarded my coaching business a $10,000 grant in May 2010. Now, I work for myself full-time helping people achieve their audacious and ambitious goals.

Before you read any further, I just want to make it perfectly clear–I am in no way affiliated with or connected to the Harvard Business School admissions process, the Harvard Kennedy School admissions process, or their respective financial aid processes. Now, back to the fun stuff.

I combine my writing and editing skills, networking prowess, mentorship experience, motivational techniques, and my nitty-gritty attention to detail to guide my clients through the process of putting their stories together from start to finish. By being a highly-accessible hands-on coach rather than a “consultant,” I turn what is often a confusing, overwhelming, and frustrating chore into a rewarding and enlightening experience that is even sometimes fun.

I understand that many people do not have the money to spend on a coach. I certainly didn’t when I was applying to college or graduate school. That’s why I will always make time to provide some of my best tips and strategies for free for those of you out there doing it on your own.

Be sure to sign up for my mailing list so you don’t miss any of the great webinars, e-books, and workshops I create for you!
