Telling your story, your way | Stanford Law, UChicago Alum
Like most people working on college admissions, I don't have family that went to Ivy+ schools. I pulled together information from my school career office, from friends and coworkers, and, of course, from Reddit. The process felt intimidating and secretive, and the difficulty of the process increased my anxiety as I waited for results. This is why I coach. The college application process is overwhelming, and no one should feel like they have to figure it out on their own. My goal is to simplify and illuminate the admissions process, and to give you the tools and confidence you need to present your best self. My path has been focused on public interest, but my coaching is about your dream, whether that's big law, policy, academia, or beyond. Together we'll address your goals and your fears to tell your story honestly and authentically. As a Stanford Law student with a strong foundation in Political Science from the University of Chicago, I bring a wealth of experience in advocacy and social justice to my coaching. My journey includes impactful internships at renowned organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center and Earthjustice. I am passionate about helping students navigate the admissions process and rely on my past leadership experiences to help you with your goals. Whether you're crafting your essays selecting the right extracurriculars, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to make your dreams a reality.
