Juan Valdez

I bring a strong track record of academic excellence and mentorship to my college admissions consulting. A graduate of Stanford University with a B.A. in Economics and a minor in Data Science, I was awarded multiple merit-based scholarships, including a full-tuition award and recognition from the Goldman Sachs Scholarship for Excellence. At Stanford, I served as President of both Stanford Finance and the Blyth Fund, where I led teams, mentored peers, and guided students in navigating competitive academic and professional paths. Beyond academics, I have built my career at top-tier financial institutions, experiences that required discipline, leadership, and strategic communication. I also served as a 2024 SEO College Counselor, where I supported students in preparing their applications and making informed decisions about their futures. My goal as a coach is to combine my personal journey through competitive admissions with my mentorship experience to help students not only craft compelling applications, but also approach the process with confidence and clarity.
