Cornell grad helping you crack the college admissions code!
I'm a Cornell University graduate with a major in Industrial and Labor Relations and a minor in business. My career has taken me across some of the most dynamic fields out there. After Cornell, I joined Deloitte as a management consultant, working with Fortune 500 companies, then transitioned to a private family office where I led climate strategy for a philanthropy portfolio. Driven by a passion for sustainability and entrepreneurship, I went on to culinary school before pursuing a dual MBA/Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley. I've worked with students from both public and private high schools, and I bring the same strategic, big-picture thinking from my career to help students craft compelling, authentic applications that stand out to college admissions teams.
