Ivy League PhD Admissions Expert | Princeton & Penn
With over 20 years of experience in graduate admissions, I’ve led PhD admissions processes at two Ivy League institutions: Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. At Princeton, I oversaw admissions for their highly competitive PhD program. At Penn Nursing, I reviewed doctoral applications for their top-tier program in nursing science. Whether you're pursuing a PhD in public policy, economics, nursing, or a related healthcare field, I bring an insider’s perspective to help you develop a compelling and strategic application. From articulating your research agenda and identifying faculty fit to refining your statement of purpose and CV, I’ll guide you through every step with the same insight and intentionality I brought to the admissions committees I once led.
