About Mel

With a decade of experience in university enrollment departments, college acceptance has been an integral part of my story. My passion for connecting with and empowering students stems from my experience working in both admissions and visitor experience at Stanford University, The University of Texas at Austin, and New York University. Most notably, two of my experiences have prepared me well to coach you: 1. Working in The University of Texas at Austin's undergraduate admissions office - I recruited students, read admissions applications and supported the office in making admissions decisions. I know what it takes to stand out as an applicant. 2. Receiving my graduate degree in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting from New York University - I gained skills that set me apart as a coach due to the ways that I challenge and empower my coachees in reaching their dreams. I grew up in the US and am based in the UAE. I am a proud graduate of New York University, the University of Georgia, and Clemson University (and am a huge college football fan!).
