Kevin has helped clients get into these schools:
I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, and earned my degrees in French and Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I went on to pursue my Juris Doctor (JD) at Duke University School of Law — an experience that deepened my love for the study of law. While I briefly worked in the legal field, I quickly realized that what truly inspired me wasn’t practicing law — it was helping others find their path through education. That realization led me to pivot into the field of international higher education, where I discovered my passion for mentoring students through the admissions process. For over 15 years, I’ve worked in university admissions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a former admissions officer, I’ve reviewed hundreds of applications from students around the world. My experience includes serving as the Assistant Director of Recruitment and Admissions at the University of Chicago Booth Executive MBA program, where I gained firsthand insight into what top-tier programs look for in standout candidates. I spent over a decade living in Hong Kong, where I worked with both local and international students on applications to law school, MBA, Master’s, and undergraduate programs. Now based back in Raleigh, I continue to support students worldwide as they pursue their academic and professional goals. Whether you're applying to T14 law schools or exploring a specialized legal program, I bring a unique blend of legal training, admissions experience, and global perspective to help you craft a compelling, authentic application.

About Kevin
I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning degrees in French and Political Science. Driven by a passion for international perspectives, I pursued a JD/LL.M. in International and Comparative Law from Duke University School of Law. After briefly practicing law, I quickly realized that my passion lay not in practicing it, but rather in helping others navigate their own educational and professional journeys. This realization prompted a meaningful career shift into university admissions and student advising—an area where I found my true calling. Over the past 15 years, I've accumulated extensive admissions experience, working closely with undergraduate, law, and MBA applicants from diverse backgrounds worldwide. My admissions experience spans prestigious institutions and roles, including Assistant Director of Recruitment and Admissions at the University of Chicago Booth Executive MBA program, Senior Lead Counsellor at AddedEducation, US Strategy Consultant at Crimson Education, and admissions counseling roles at various international colleges and universities. Having lived and worked in Hong Kong for more than a decade, I developed deep insights into how different cultures approach education and career planning. I've guided hundreds of students through successful applications, resulting in acceptances to top-tier institutions including Penn, Princeton, Yale, UC Berkeley, Columbia, and Brown. Now back in my hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, I continue empowering students globally, leveraging my deep understanding of admissions processes and firsthand insights into what top schools seek in their applicants. Whether you're applying to undergraduate programs, top law schools, or elite MBA programs, I'm here to provide personalized, strategic guidance that highlights your unique strengths and authentic story.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I deeply understand the transformative power of education—and the stress and confusion that often accompany the admissions journey. Early in my career, I navigated the process largely on my own, without significant guidance. While I ultimately achieved my educational goals, I recognized that having a dedicated mentor or coach could have made my path smoother, clearer, and less stressful. Throughout my extensive admissions career, I've witnessed firsthand how targeted mentorship and strategic admissions coaching can profoundly impact students' paths—opening doors to opportunities they might not have thought possible. I find tremendous fulfillment in helping students clarify their ambitions, articulate their stories powerfully, and build applications that genuinely reflect their passions and strengths. For me, coaching is more than a profession; it's a personal commitment to giving students the kind of support and mentorship I wish I'd had. I believe each student has a unique narrative that deserves to be heard, understood, and championed. My goal as your admissions coach is not only to guide you successfully into your desired programs, but also to empower you with confidence, clarity, and lifelong skills for self-advocacy and strategic thinking.
