This package is designed for college-bound students who want to start strong with expert guidance—without jumping straight into a full, end-to-end engagement. Whether you're early in the process or looking to clarify your direction, this flexible option helps you focus on what matters most right now.

Former UChicago Alumni Interviewer | Coach | Strategic Storytelling
It's great to meet you! As an interviewer at both the University of Chicago (former Alumni Interviewer) and Berkeley Haas, my alma maters, I have firsthand insight into what top schools are looking for in applicants. I also bring a strong person-first and strategic lens to every application stemming from my background as a former management consultant (Bain & Company). As a coach and mentor in my day job, hobbies, and beyond, I am here to support students looking to succeed in not only in their college applications, but in all aspects of life. My professional journey includes strategic operator roles at BridgeBio, Bain & Company, and Oak Street Health, co-founding a genomics startup, and a previous life as a research chemist, all of which equip me with a unique, broad, perspective on crafting compelling narratives for college applications. I also moonlight as a high school football coach so am very in tune with modern high school life. I am passionate about helping students highlight their strengths, bring out their unique colors, and stand out in the competitive admissions landscape. My clients are happy about my tailored approach that help them proudly share their stories with admissions committees. Reach out to see how I can assist you in achieving your dreams!
