Law School Admissions & Success Coach | Kirkland M&A Attorney
I earned my JD from Howard University School of Law, graduating in the top 10% of my class while serving on law review. After law school, I joined Paul, Weiss and later Kirkland & Ellis, advising leading private-equity sponsors on multi-billion-dollar M&A transactions, carve-outs, and complex fund formations. This combination of elite legal training and high-stakes deal work gives me a deep understanding of what top law schools and firms look for in applicants and future attorneys. Beyond credentials, I bring a coach’s mindset. I’ve mentored aspiring law students, junior attorneys, and MBA candidates on crafting standout applications, preparing for interviews, and positioning their career narratives for Big Law, clerkships, and JD/MBA paths. Whether you’re targeting a T14 school, planning a dual-degree, or pivoting into business, I’ll help you translate your experiences into a compelling, authentic story and create an application strategy that maximizes your chances of admission and scholarship awards.
