About Joy
Storytelling is my superpower, and my success rate in placing applicants at Stanford or Harvard has been 80%+ over the past 8 years. I got my GSB offer back in 2018, as one of the few international students who received an offer during college. Since then, I've enjoyed coaching people each year and helping them get into their dream schools.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I genuinely enjoy getting to know each individual, helping them find their voice, and crafting their story! I truly believe everyone is unique. You deserve the best chance at your dream!
