Harvard MPP | Raised $200k in Scholarships | First-Gen Grad & Coach
Hi and welcome! 😊 Are you looking to apply to your dream school and secure a scholarship? Happy to help! As an international first-generation student from a low-income family, I successfully navigated the complexities of the application process, gaining admission to prestigious schools such as Harvard, UC Berkeley, London School of Economics, King's College, and Leiden University, securing over $200,000 in scholarships. I am excited to support you with selecting the right school and program, crafting compelling narratives and applications, and finding the right funding opportunities! Over the years, I have gained much experience and look forward to sharing my learnings with you. Before joining grad school, I built the Recruitment department for Germany's largest Women's Leadership network where I helped match our members to leadership positions at companies like Accenture, Deloitte, BMW & VW. In that role, I have seen hundreds of resumes and mastered the skill of matching profiles to application requirements. I hold a Master of Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School. My interdisciplinary academic journey includes coursework at MIT, and Harvard's Law, Divinity, and Education Schools, providing me with a comprehensive perspective on policy, economics, AI governance, and more. During my undergraduate studies in Governance, Economics, and Development at Leiden University's Honors College, I spent an exchange year at UC Berkeley, focusing on Business and Sociology. Financing my education through scholarships from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and Heinrich Boell Foundation, I was also honored to be one of six McCloy Fellowship recipients at Harvard. In the past, I have successfully guided students to prestigious institutions like Cambridge, Oxford, Leiden, Berkeley, Columbia, and Harvard. When you join my coaching program, you'll receive personalized guidance tailored to your unique aspirations. I'm committed to supporting your success and excited to work together to achieve your dreams and potential for impact!
