My interdisciplinary approach is built from: • Harvard admissions experience to focus on what truly moves the needle in competitive applications • Training from UCLA’s two-year College Counseling Certificate program in admissions advising and student guidance • Public relations psychology from serving as the spokesperson for a major global technology company • Performance and mindset principles as a current world-ranked athlete • A no-judgment, highly supportive environment Rather than shaping students into scripted, “perfect” applicants, I focus on helping them understand their strengths, make strategic decisions, and position themselves authentically within the college admissions process. The goal is clarity, confidence, and a thoughtful plan forward and ideally, a process that feels empowering and even enjoyable along the way!!
