Columbia Law | Hamilton Fellow | T14 Admissions & Scholarship Strategy
Welcome! I’m an incoming J.D. student at Columbia Law School, Hamilton Fellowship recipient, and experienced admissions coach who helps applicants turn their backgrounds into compelling, coherent law school applications. Your law school application should do more than list accomplishments — it should help admissions committees understand who you are, what drives you, and why you belong. I bring years of experience coaching students through highly competitive admissions processes, including helping applicants gain admission to Ivy League and other top universities. I’ve also been through the law school admissions process myself: in a highly competitive cycle, I was accepted to multiple T14 schools, including two T6 schools, and received named scholarship and half-tuition offers. I can help with personal statements, diversity statements, school-specific essays, résumés, recommendation strategy, school selection, interview prep, and scholarship decision-making. My approach is honest, collaborative, and highly personalized. I’ll help you identify what makes your story powerful, avoid generic essay traps, and build an application that feels both authentic and strategically sharp. As an international applicant myself, I’m also passionate about helping other international students present their backgrounds effectively and navigate the U.S. law school admissions process with confidence. Everyone has a story worth telling. Let’s find yours!
