Stanford + Columbia | Elite College Essay Specialist | 8+ Years
I’m a Stanford- and Columbia-educated college admissions consultant with 8+ years of experience helping high-achieving students gain admission to selective universities in the U.S. and UK. I specialize in college essays and personal storytelling, helping students develop authentic, compelling applications that sound like them—not like everyone else. My students have earned admission to Columbia, UPenn, Cornell, Duke, Brown, UChicago, UCLA, USC, NYU, Vanderbilt, UMich, UC Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, and many other highly selective programs. I’ve also helped students raise SAT scores to 1590 and successfully compete for major awards, including Fulbright. I particularly enjoy working with ambitious students, and I welcome both domestic and international families. My approach combines strategic admissions expertise with hands-on writing guidance: I help students identify what makes their story distinctive, communicate it authentically, and build an application that is both compelling and cohesive.
