About Eleni
Hi, I’m Eleni! I'm a leadership and scholarship coach passionate about helping people reach the next stage of their academic and professional journeys with confidence and clarity. Over the past several years, I’ve coached students and professionals around the world to earn competitive scholarships and fellowships in top graduate programs. My background in public policy, international affairs, and communications allows me to guide clients through every step of the process, from crafting powerful personal statements to preparing for high-stakes interviews. Beyond applications, I also work with clients on leadership development, negotiation, and mindset coaching. I believe growth starts with learning to lead yourself first, gaining the confidence, clarity, and emotional tools to pursue your goals authentically. My coaching style is both strategic and supportive: I help you tell your story in a way that feels true to who you are while giving you the structure, accountability, and insights you need to stand out. Whether you’re applying for graduate school, seeking a career transition, or simply wanting to grow as a leader, I’m here to help you get there.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how powerful the right guidance can be. During the pandemic, I started a coaching TikTok to share tips on leadership, communication, and personal growth. It unexpectedly took off, and I realized how many people were searching for the same kind of clarity and encouragement that once helped me. After being accepted into the Schwarzman Scholars program, I discovered just how much I loved helping others tell their stories and reach their goals. Coaching became more than a side project; it became something I felt truly called to do. I believe life skills like confidence, communication, and self-awareness apply everywhere, whether in a personal relationship or a professional opportunity. Everyone has a great story to tell, it’s just a matter of learning how to express it and helping others see you for who you really are.
