Who We Are: The Full-Time mbaMission Team
Debbie Choy
MBA Admissions Managing Director
Multilingual Stanford GSB MBA with professional experience in finance, health tech product management, and management consulting, plus a decade in admissions consulting
How I Can Help You
My working style is strategic, positive, warm, and organized. I love being an advisor to my clients and implementing the many insights I have gained from coaching applicants for the past decade. I especially enjoy helping candidates tell their unique stories to authentically reflect who they are.
Why Choose Me
A graduate of the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), I have advised numerous U.S. and international applicants from diverse industries since 2013. My prior industry background—investment management at JP Morgan, management consulting at Booz & Co., healthtech product management—enables me to connect with candidates from all backgrounds and help them identify their unique and compelling achievements. In addition, I am a regular presenter for mbaMission’s online webinars on MBA application best practices.
At the Stanford GSB, I served as co-president (elected) of the GSB Finance Club, helping organize networking events with investment banks and buy-side firms. I graduated with a GSB Certificate in Public Management, with a specialization in socially responsible business. I also earned a Graduate Certificate in Product Creation and Innovative Manufacturing from the Stanford School of Engineering, which augmented my technical knowledge to complement my business skill set.
I graduated cum laude from Vassar College, with departmental honors in international studies. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering, including serving on the Stanford Alumni Consulting Team as an advisor to nonprofit organizations. I was also part of the founding team of ALIST Magazine, a volunteer-run online publication showcasing Asian American corporate leaders and success stories. I grew up in Singapore and speak fluent Mandarin, Cantonese, and conversational French.
Debbie is awesome - cannot recommend her enough!
