Anna-Katharina’s Master’s Programs Qualifications

Having earned my Masters and PhD from Stanford University, I am deeply familiar with every aspect of the admissions process, from writing personal and research statements to standardized testing, and creating a strategy for successful recommendation letters. I have also worked closely with undergraduate students throughout each step, resulting in acceptances from colleges such as Columbia University, Cornell University, and the London School of Economics. Throughout my time in academia, I have mentored students in various capacities, from career coaching to in-depth research project development, over the course of months and even years. If you are looking for customized and thoughtful coaching backed by extensive first-hand experience, I am happy to help!
