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.

Previous Cornell Career Services Advisor | Bain Consultant | Cornell Alum

As a recent alumnus of Cornell University, I bring firsthand experience in navigating the college admissions process. My professional background includes working at Bain & Company and a tech start up, which have equipped me with valuable insights and strategic skills. I have additional experience serving as an Advisor with Cornell Career Services where I provided students with resume and cover letter critiques. I have also supported high school students as a tutor for the ACT and SAT. With a deep understanding of the college admissions landscape and a passion for guiding students toward their academic goals, I offer personalized support and expertise in several key areas. I can help you edit essays to make your application stand out, strengthen your resume, strategize on which schools to apply to, and prepare for standardized tests. Let's work together to create a compelling application that showcases your unique strengths and maximizes your chances of admission. Reach out to me today to get started!
