Master’s Admissions Coach | Columbia ChemE | Wharton MBA
I coach applicants to master’s programs by combining firsthand academic experience, admissions insight, and structured application strategy. I earned my Master’s in Chemical Engineering at Columbia University as a fully funded scholar with a stipend, where I conducted research in an electrochemical solar fuels lab and published a manuscript on seawater electrolysis. This background allows me to guide candidates applying to technical, research-driven, and interdisciplinary master’s programs with clarity on academic fit, faculty alignment, and research positioning. In addition to my academic training, I have served on the University of Bradford admissions committee, giving me direct exposure to how graduate applications are evaluated and what differentiates strong candidates from average ones. I am currently an MBA candidate at The Wharton School, serving as Student Body President, and have worked in strategic and product roles at organizations such as Amazon and TD Bank. I help clients translate complex academic, professional, and personal experiences into compelling, well-structured applications that clearly communicate impact, motivation, and program fit.
