College Admissions

When I applied to college, I got into Harvard early, then Stanford, where I ultimately went to study Computer Science and Psychology. Along the way I wrote essays for more than fifteen schools. At the time, the process felt confusing and high-stakes. Looking back, I see what nobody told me then: those essays weren't just applications. They were the first real invitation to decide who I wanted to become. That belief is the core of how I coach. A college essay isn't just a performance for an admissions officer. It's a chance to set your aspirations and articulate a self worth growing into. My goal for every student is twofold: submit the strongest possible essay, and walk away with a stronger sense of who they are and where they're headed.

As a Columbia graduate and an incoming MBA candidate at The Wharton School I offer coaching for both undergraduate and MBA applicants. Over the past 6+ years I have successfully advised students who have gained admission into top schools such as Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Brown, UPenn, UC Berkeley, and USC. What I offer: Story-telling: A bad story can kill a great application and a great story could be what gets you into your dream school. I help prospective applicants craft a singular narrative that is authentic, compelling and intentional. Interview training: As a trained interviewer at Columbia I am able to give high quality mock interviews for any program International perspective: I did not go to high school in the US and there was no playbook for college admissions. I navigated the undergraduate and MBA application process on my own, and received admissions to several Ivy Leagues and top schools.

I got into every public university I applied to, including the University of Michigan, UVA, and UNC Chapel Hill, and earned a full merit scholarship to Washington University in St. Louis. In the last few years, I’ve helped several students build applications that tell a compelling story and stand out in highly competitive admissions pools. I've worked with students on personal statements, extracurricular positioning, application strategy, and school selection, helping them showcase what makes them unique rather than trying to fit a generic mold. As a WashU graduate with backgrounds in finance and computer science, I've worked in venture capital and investment banking, including at UBS. Through these experiences, I've learned what it takes to communicate your strengths, articulate your goals, and present yourself with confidence, skills that are just as important in college admissions as they are in recruiting. Whether you're targeting top public universities, competitive business programs, or exploring your options, I'd love to help you maximize your chances and put together an application you're proud of.

With more than 24 years as Adjunct Professor at Colleges and universities, I have participated in the critical process of scholarship committees which is in the business of discerning the small differences between the good and the potentially great candidates. The entire motive for any professor worth their weight in salt is to recognize the worthy student and elevate them to the level where they may blossom. When you work with me we take on a holistic view of the applicant as a true human being so they stand out even just an 1/8th of an inch to be noticed even in stacks of applicants with loads of competition. The point is to put your very best foot forward so that we leave as little to chance as possible. The trend is to fall back on AI which in itself seems to be an added value but on the aggregate creates a kind of generic AI aesthetic which when viewed by the admissions office becomes something with less humanity. We are storytellers. Let's tell your story in a hand crafted way that is truly unique to your life and your ambition.
