Elvia’s College Qualifications
10+ people coached for College
Hello and welcome to my profile! As a Brown University graduate and Commencement Speaker with a strong background in economics and social innovation, I am passionate about helping students navigate the college admissions process. I have coached 10 students, guiding them to successfully gain admission to their top-choice schools. My experience as a founder of EmpowerU, a platform dedicated to providing students with essential resources for college and career readiness, has equipped me with the tools to support students in building strong applications. Additionally, my involvement in programs like the Harvard Business School's Summer Venture in Management has deepened my understanding of what top institutions seek in applicants. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations!
