Hi! I’m a recent Harvard grad who applied to over 50 colleges, was named a QuestBridge College Prep Scholar and National College Match Finalist, and was accepted to 45 schools. Through that process, I learned how to navigate the college admissions system from every angle—strategy, storytelling, and financial aid support. Since then, I’ve mentored 20+ students, helping them get into top schools like Harvard and Columbia by breaking down the process, building strong applications, and showing them what's possible when someone’s in their corner. Excited to help!
