Adcom experience at USC, Stanford & UChicago as a former admissions staff
With years of experience supporting graduate students across top institutions, I specialize in guiding applicants through the Master’s and PhD admissions process with strategy, insight, and heart. I earned my undergraduate degree from UCLA and a Master’s in Higher Education from USC, and I've since worked with some of the nation’s most competitive programs including Stanford’s PhD in Biosciences, the University of Chicago’s PhD in Biophysical Sciences, and USC Marshall’s Master’s in Finance and Marketing. Whether you're applying to business, science, or interdisciplinary programs, I bring deep insider knowledge, a sharp understanding of what makes applications stand out, and a passion for helping each student find the right fit and tell their unique story.
