Welcome! As a graduate of Stanford Law School, I know firsthand what it takes to navigate the highly competitive law school admissions process and build an application that communicates not only what you have accomplished, but why you want to pursue a legal education. I help applicants identify the experiences, interests, and perspectives that make them distinctive and develop those pieces into a cohesive and compelling application. In particular, I can help with personal statements, supplemental essays, resumes, and the broader strategy of presenting your academic and professional experiences in a way that feels authentic while clearly communicating your potential as a future law student. Before attending Stanford Law, I studied at Duke University and earned a master’s degree in Comparative Social Policy from the University of Oxford. I now practice law as an associate at Gibson Dunn, giving me perspective on the full trajectory from applying to law school to navigating law school and beginning a legal career. Whether you’re starting with a blank page, deciding which experiences should anchor your personal statement, or polishing a nearly finished application, I’ll provide thoughtful, candid feedback and help you develop an application that is clear, memorable, and unmistakably your own.
