Build Your Own Path: Master's Admissions for Policy, Global Affairs [EN/ES]

I help applicants put together strong, well-structured applications for master’s programs in international policy, global affairs, and public policy. If you're looking at schools like Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, or similar, I’ll help you approach the process with clarity and confidence. I’ve been through it myself—successfully. I graduated from Stanford and have worked at the World Bank, UNESCO, and the World Economic Forum. I understand both what these programs look for and how they connect to real-world careers. My approach is straightforward: I help you tell your story in a way that makes sense for you, while making sure your materials are polished, clear, and compelling. Here’s how I can support you: 1) Strategy & School Selection – Clarifying your goals and figuring out which programs align with them 2) Personal Statements – Helping you develop strong drafts with structure, clarity, and impact 3) Resume & Experience Framing – Making sure your background is presented in the best possible light 4) Letters of Recommendation – Guidance on choosing recommenders and setting them up for success 5) Interview Prep – Practicing responses so you can speak about your experience and goals with confidence 6) Fellowships & Funding Strategy – Exploring ways to make grad school financially viable Admissions can feel overwhelming, but I help break it down into manageable steps. I won’t tell you what you should say—I’ll help you figure out how to say what actually matters in a way that resonates.

Así es como puedo apoyarte: 1) Estrategia y Selección de Escuelas: Aclarar tus objetivos y definir qué programas se alinean con ellos 2) Declaraciones Personales: Ayudarte a desarrollar borradores sólidos con estructura, claridad e impacto 3) Presentación de Currículum y Experiencia: Asegurarme de que tu experiencia esté presentada de la mejor manera posible 4) Cartas de Recomendación: Orientación sobre cómo elegir recomendadores y prepararlos para el éxito 5) Preparación para Entrevistas: Practicar respuestas para que puedas hablar sobre tu experiencia y objetivos con confianza 6) Estrategia de Becas y Financiamiento: Explorar formas de hacer viable financieramente el posgrado Las admisiones pueden sentirse abrumadoras, pero te ayudo a desglosarlo en pasos manejables. No te diré lo que "debes" decir; te ayudaré a descubrir cómo comunicar lo que realmente importa de una manera que resuene.
