Elizabeth’s College Qualifications
10+ people coached for College
My approach to coaching is built on a first-hand understanding of what it takes to succeed at the world’s most prestigious institutions. Having recently graduated from Harvard, served as a teaching fellow, I have a "behind-the-curtain" view of how leadership and entrepreneurship are evaluated at the Ivy League level. I don't just help students get into college; I help them build a foundation for a lifetime of impact. I specialize in helping students connect their academic interests to the "Future of Work." I am deeply immersed in the world of venture capital and entrepreneurship, which allows me to help applicants identify and articulate their unique "value proposition." Whether you are navigating the complexities of the Common App or refining a personal narrative for Stanford or Tsinghua, I provide the strategic clarity and storytelling edge needed to make your application impossible to ignore. I am here to be your strategist and your sounding board, ensuring that your authentic voice shines through every essay and interview. Let’s turn your global background into your greatest competitive advantage.
