Kristen’s College Qualifications
Kristen has helped clients get into these schools:
Hi there! I’m Kristen, a proud Vanderbilt graduate (Anchor Down!) and soon-to-be MBA student at Kellogg. I’m here to support you through every step of the college application process, from building a strong resume and brainstorming essay ideas to polishing your final drafts. My goal is to help you craft a story that feels authentic, polished, and powerful — and make the process feel a lot less overwhelming along the way. I’ve been through the admissions journey twice: first for college, and most recently for my MBA, where I earned 5 out of 5 acceptances to top 10 programs. I know how much a thoughtful, well-crafted application can open doors, and I’m excited to help you bring out your unique strengths, experiences, and passions in a way that stands out. Whether you're just getting started or looking for an extra layer of polish, I’m excited to partner with you, cheer you on, and make this process as smooth (and even as fun!) as possible!

About Kristen
Hi! I’m Kristen - originally from Dallas, Texas, now living in New York City. I went to Vanderbilt University (Anchor Down!), where I first learned how much a well-told story can open doors - and how important it is to have someone in your corner during the application process. After graduating, I joined a management consulting firm, where I’ve spent the past four years helping people and organizations navigate big changes and new opportunities. Through that work, I found what I love most: helping others grow, build confidence, and take the next big step toward their goals. That’s exactly the approach I bring to coaching, too. This fall, I’ll be heading to Northwestern Kellogg to pursue my MBA and continue growing as a leader and mentor. Having been through the admissions journey twice - once for college and again for business school - I know how overwhelming it can feel. My goal is to help you find your voice, tell your story in a way that feels true to you, and make this process a lot less stressful (and maybe even a little fun!).
