College Admissions Coach | Vanderbilt Grad

Hi! I’m Elana—a recent Vanderbilt grad with a degree in Computer Science and Philosophy. I know firsthand how overwhelming the college application process can feel. However, looking back, I know that this journey can be transformative, empowering, and even fun—with the right support. For over seven years, I’ve helped students unlock their potential, guiding them to top schools and dream jobs at places like BCG, Microsoft, Amazon, and other Big Tech companies. My philosophy is simple: every student has a story worth telling, and when you approach your application with intention and authenticity, you’ll discover the school where you truly belong. My coaching goes beyond perfecting essays or resumes—it’s about helping you uncover your unique strengths and develop as an independent thinker. I’ll be your partner throughout this journey, challenging you to ask meaningful questions, reflect deeply, and shape a narrative that’s authentically yours. By building these skills now, you’ll not only strengthen your college applications but also build a solid foundation for your academic and professional pursuits. Most importantly, I want to make this process less stressful, help you discover more about yourself, and ensure you enjoy the journey along the way. Let’s work together to turn your goals into reality.
