Harvard & Columbia Grad | Expert in Elite College Admissions
As a graduate of Harvard Business School and Columbia University, I bring a distinctive, well-rounded perspective to college admissions coaching. Throughout my own academic journey, I’ve had the privilege of working with top admissions advisors—first at Milton Academy, one of New England’s leading boarding schools, and later with an elite business school admissions coach. I’m excited to pass on the valuable insights I’ve gained from these experiences to help you navigate your own path. I’ve successfully guided students through the college application process, with three earning admission to their top-choice schools—including highly selective institutions like Wellesley (15% acceptance rate) and Pomona College (7% acceptance rate). These experiences have equipped me with the tools to help you craft a compelling and differentiated application. I’m passionate about helping students uncover their unique interests and strengths, and I offer personalized strategies to demystify the admissions process. Let’s work together to bring your story to life and help your application stand out.
