Experienced admissions consultant making dream schools your reality
Welcome to my profile! A technology consultant by day, my true passion is helping high school students craft impressive applications that showcase their best selves to admissions committees. I've successfully guided 20+ students through the competitive application process end-to-end, developing personalized timelines and overseeing the submission of hundreds of applications resulting in over an 80% acceptance rate. In the process, my students have consistently been accepted to Top 50 schools (yes, Ivies too!), even with scholarships, and I have mastered the skills of college prep counseling, essay ideation and editing, and personal brand establishment. My personal track record, both academically as a Vanderbilt grad and valedictorian of my Master's program and professionally as a seasoned consultant at Deloitte, speak to my willingness to succeed in everything I do and further equip me to help you craft a standout application. Whether you're a freshman looking to get ahead of the game or a senior with looming application deadlines, let's work together to make your college dreams a reality—reach out to get started!
