Former Columbia Admissions Director | Elevate Your Application

I’ve spent several years working in graduate admissions across multiple schools within Columbia University, and I’m genuinely passionate about helping people navigate this process with clarity and confidence. Over time, I’ve evaluated thousands of applications across highly competitive programs—including Engineering, Public Administration, and International Affairs—so I understand both the big picture and the small details that truly matter. Through that experience, I’ve developed a strong eye for what makes an applicant stand out and how to position each piece of an application strategically. I know the nuances—what admissions committees are really paying attention to, where applicants can strengthen their story, and how to avoid common missteps. I’m here to demystify the graduate admissions process and help you approach it in a way that feels informed, intentional, and aligned with your goals. My goal is to give you both the insight and the confidence to put your strongest application forward.
