Package Description:
You've done the hard work. Now it's time to make sure your application is as strong as it can be before you submit. This package is for applicants with a near-complete application who want an experienced, honest set of eyes on the full package.
What you'll get from this package
Full Application Audit: I'll review your complete application — essays, short answers, résumé, and any supplemental materials — with an eye toward narrative coherence, clarity, and how the pieces work together as a whole.
Line-Level Editing: I'll provide detailed written feedback and edits across your written materials, flagging anything that weakens your application and identifying opportunities to sharpen your story.
Strategic Alignment Check: We'll make sure your application is actually answering the questions reviewers are asking — not just the ones printed on the page — and that your strongest qualities come through clearly across every component.

Truman & Soros Fellow | Coaching from an Essay & Interview Expert
I am a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow (2026), a Harry S. Truman Scholar (2022 Class Captain and the first Latino recipient from Mississippi), and a Rhodes Scholar Finalist (runner-up for USA District 7 in 2024). This fall, I'm headed to Yale Law School — largely on the strength of these awards. As a first-generation Latino who grew up in poverty, I know exactly how much is at stake when you sit down to write these applications. I wrote every word of my materials from scratch, without institutional support, and I can help you do the same. Over the past four years, I've navigated the full arc of competitive fellowship applications — from building the initial narrative, to preparing for high-stakes finalist interviews, to accepting the award. I've done this across fellowship types: merit-based national scholarships, public interest fellowships, and graduate funding competitions. Beyond my own applications, I've supported peers and mentees through processes ranging from Rhodes and Truman to law school and graduate funding. Through co-founding the Public Interest Law Association (PILA), I've also built systems to help emerging public interest advocates tell their stories compellingly. I understand both the craft of a strong application and the emotional weight of pursuing something potentially life-changing. My coaching is rigorous, personal, and rooted in the belief that the right story — told well — can open doors that once felt closed for good.
