About Kate

Welcome! As a Fulbright Scholar, Stanford Alum, and incoming Cambridge Law student, I am passionate about supporting clients in reaching their academic and professional goals at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. After attending secondary school in the United Kingdom, I graduated with honors from Stanford in 2021 before being awarded a Fulbright Scholarship by the US State Department. Through this grant, I was able to pursue a Master's in Conflict Resolution at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, finishing my degree Magna Cum Laude. Professionally, I have held a variety of roles in both the public and private sectors, including in the field of geopolitical consulting, utilizing the creative research skills I gained during my time supporting Former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster. As an American who's spent significant time in academic institutions abroad, I've developed a deep understanding of how to bridge gaps in educational systems and support international applications, either from abroad to the United States or vice versa. If you have your sights on a program in a different country or you're just trying to understand what your options may be somewhere else, be in touch!

Why do I coach?

I coach because I understand how daunting applying to overseas institutions can be, and I hope to support international students in their goals to study both in the United States and abroad through scholarships such as the Fulbright. I have taught in a volunteer capacity extensively abroad and helped my students firsthand navigate these challenges. I look forward to helping you navigate this experience!
