College App Guidance | UM Grad | Incoming Columbia Grad Student

Welcome! I help high school students navigate the college application process with clarity and confidence. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023 and began my career at Cisco, where I worked closely with interns and new team members as they figured out their strengths, interests, and next steps. After spending time in the workforce, I realized I wanted a more people-focused path and decided to make a thoughtful pivot. I’m now preparing to begin a graduate program in Occupational Therapy at Columbia University this fall. Going through that transition gave me a firsthand understanding of how much pressure students feel to “get it right,” and how important it is to remember that college is a starting point, not a final decision. Through my work with interns, along with volunteer experience supporting children and families, I’ve developed a practical, supportive approach to guidance. I focus on helping students break the application process into manageable pieces, clearly communicate who they are, and make choices that feel informed and confident. My goal is to make this process less overwhelming and more productive. I want students to feel supported, understood, and prepared to take their next step — wherever it leads.
