Package Description:
This package is a focused 1:1 strategy session designed to help you stand out in the Schwarzman Scholars application by strengthening your narrative, positioning, and overall application strategy. Schwarzman is not about having the most impressive profile - it’s about presenting a clear, cohesive, and compelling story. In this session, we focus on exactly that. We'll cover: 1. Application Narrative & Positioning We’ll define your core story and “throughline”, ensuring your application is clear, directional, and easy to understand. 2. Leadership Positioning We’ll identify your strongest leadership experiences and refine how you present them to highlight impact and decision-making. 3. “Why Schwarzman” & Future Trajectory We’ll clarify your motivations and ensure your future goals align with what the program is actually selecting for. 4. Essay Strategy & Structure We’ll review (or outline) your essays to ensure they are specific, coherent, and differentiated. 5. High-Impact Improvements You’ll leave with clear, actionable steps on what to change to strengthen your application. Ahead of the session, you can share your CV, essays, or application materials for review. This is a highly tailored, strategy-led session focused on helping you move from a strong profile to a standout application.

Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
This package combines a live 1:1 strategy session with asynchronous review to help you strengthen your Schwarzman Scholars application. Ahead of the session, you can share your CV, essays, or application materials. I will review these in advance and provide targeted feedback, so we can use our live session to focus on the highest-impact improvements. If you haven’t started putting together materials yet, that’s completely fine - we can also use the session to build your application strategy from scratch. During the live session, we will: 1. Clarify your overall application narrative and “throughline” 2. Refine your leadership positioning and key experiences 3. Strengthen your “why Schwarzman” and future trajectory 4. Align your essays and application components into a clear, cohesive story Following the session, I can provide additional written feedback or next steps where helpful. This approach ensures you get both strategic clarity and practical, actionable guidance, helping you move from a strong profile to a standout application.
Sessions are up to 60 minutes, with additional time allocated for pre-session review and post-session follow-up. Clients are encouraged to share materials (CV, essays, etc.) at least 24 hours in advance to allow for review. Follow-up feedback will be provided within 48 hours of the session where applicable. Due to the nature of the application process, results cannot be guaranteed, but all guidance is tailored to maximise your chances of presenting a strong and compelling application.

Scholarships
I work with applicants targeting highly competitive international scholarships and fellowships, with a particular focus on global affairs, public policy, healthcare, and leadership. As a member of the 2025-2026 Schwarzman Scholars cohort at Tsinghua University, I’ve navigated a global selection process firsthand. I understand how panels assess leadership potential, and long-term vision, and how challenging it can be to translate strong experiences into a coherent, compelling narrative. Prior to Schwarzman, I completed a fully funded Master’s in Healthcare Leadership and studied at King’s College London for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, where I also served as a student ambassador supporting prospective and incoming students through competitive application processes. I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for both leadership and writing, including the Heather Trickey Prize for policy writing on women’s health, selection as a China-United States Exchange Foundation Young Leaders Scholar (8 selected from over 12,000 applicants), and appointment as a One Young World Ambassador. Each of these experiences required clarity and thoughtful positioning, as well as the ability to articulate impact at a high level. Alongside this, my career across healthcare leadership, consulting, policy, and startup building has required me to consistently operate in high-stakes, and competitive environments. I bring that same structured, strategic, and reflective approach to the applicants I work with.
