College Admissions

As the first in my family to attend college who earned a full-ride scholarship to UC Berkeley, I deeply understand the stakes, challenges, and emotional weight of the college application process—especially for students navigating it without a roadmap. I've mentored students from underserved and immigrant communities, helping them find their voice, craft compelling narratives, and confidently choose schools that align with their goals and values. Whether you're applying to UCs, Ivy Leagues, or liberal arts colleges, I’ll support you not just in writing strong essays, but in believing that you belong. I know how transformative the right education can be—and I’m here to help you get there.

As a former Division 1 college tennis player and international student, I know the college admissions process can feel overwhelming — especially if you're trying to balance academics, leadership, and athletics. I went through it all as an Australian navigating the U.S. college system, ultimately earning a spot at a top academic and athletic institution. I coach students who want to stand out — not just check boxes. Whether you’re a recruited athlete, an international applicant, or just trying to figure out how to craft a compelling story, I’ll help you cut through the noise and show up authentically and strategically. I’ve helped students get into top schools across the U.S., and I bring a balance of tough love, real feedback, and honest support throughout the journey.

As a first-generation college student, I had to learn about the admissions process from scratch. It was challenging, but as a result, I gained a deeper understanding about the criteria admissions committees have for student. This process also made me passionate about detangling the mystery behind college acceptances. As part of this investigation, I corresponded with peers at MIT and Harvard, having them walk me through their experience and essays. I was also able to speak to academic directors and read profiles of those who were rejected from top schools. In the end, my research has given me a robust understanding of what admissions committees seek out in an application pool of tens of thousands of students. I began tutoring the SAT in my freshman year of MIT. Since then, I have helped over 20 students achieve their target scores and TA'ed for 3 MIT classes. Many of my students reached out to me either during tutoring sessions or after their SAT for college admissions advice. I employed my knowledge of the admissions process to help over half of them to varying degrees. The students that I worked with throughout the majority of their entire application cycle and went on to top schools such as Tufts and Notre Dame. I am here to help you build a successful application that admissions committees will remember! Please reach out for a free intro call, so we can see if we are a good match and start crafting a plan!
