Harvard MPP Graduate & Coach: Guiding Your Path to Top Policy Programs
Hi! I know how stressful applying to a Master's program can be, so I work with my clients to make sure they feel confident as they move through the application, and am always available to jump on a call to make this overwhelming and opaque process easier. With a Master of Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and a Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown University, I bring a strong academic foundation and a passion for public service to my coaching. My experience as a Policy and Advocacy Manager at Care For the Homeless and as a Public Policy Fellow at Pine Street Inn has equipped me with the skills to guide aspiring master's students through the complexities of their applications. I have successfully coached individuals, helping them craft compelling narratives and strategic applications to gain admission to top programs. If you're looking to make a meaningful impact in your field, let's work together to achieve your academic and career goals!
