Dreaming of going to an Ivy League school or landing a merit scholarship?
As a second-generation college student from a small rural town and public school background, I know firsthand how to stand out in elite college admissions. My journey led to acceptances at some of the nation's most selective institutions, including Stanford, Princeton, Dartmouth, UPenn, Williams, and Emory, where I ultimately attended as a Robert W. Woodruff Scholar – the university's most prestigious merit award providing a full scholarship. What sets my coaching apart is my deep understanding that successful college admissions isn't just about grades and test scores – it's about crafting an authentic and compelling personal narrative. Coming from a rural public school background, I learned how to transform what might seem like limitations into powerful differentiators that caught the attention of admissions officers at both top research universities and liberal arts colleges. I'm passionate about helping students, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds, navigate the complex college admissions landscape. Whether you're aiming for Ivy League universities, elite liberal arts colleges, or selective scholarship programs, I can help you identify and articulate your unique story in a way that resonates with admissions committees. Having successfully walked this path myself, I bring both practical expertise and genuine empathy to help you achieve your college dreams.
