Sarah’s College Qualifications
Hello and welcome to my profile! With a strong academic background from both BYU Marriott School of Business and Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, I bring a wealth of experience in leadership and strategic thinking to my coaching, while also understanding the importance of college fit. As Student Body President at BYU and a former Miss Utah, I've honed my skills in personal narrative development, personal branding, interviewing, and leadership, which I leverage to help students craft compelling college applications. My clients have been admitted to Yale, Cornell, Northwestern, and Brigham Young University. As a Questbridge College Prep Scholar, I am particularly passionate about helping FGLI students reach their educational goals. If you're looking to develop a high school strategy, enhance your application, and showcase your unique strengths, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help you succeed!
