NYU Stern Alum | I help students get into the school of their dreams
After navigating the high-stakes admissions process all on my own to land at NYU Stern - and later coaching my brother to a clean sweep of Princeton, Wharton, and Rice - I’ve decoded the "black box" of elite admissions. I didn't have a private consultant or a roadmap when I applied so I had to build my own. This sparked a passion for helping students turn their unique stories into the kind of high-impact applications that make admission offices take notice at the world's most competitive institutions. My coaching style is rooted in inner know-how and working your unique advantage rather than generic advice. Having personally secured admissions from Carnegie Mellon, UT Austin, and Boston College, I understand the nuance required to pivot between Ivy League expectations and top-tier specialized programs. Whether you're aiming for a business powerhouse or a liberal arts icon, I provide the strategic edge and relatable mentorship I wish I had, ensuring your dream school becomes your reality.
