I’m qualified to guide students through the college admissions process because I’ve been through it at the highest levels of success myself. I earned admission to Brown University with a likely letter, which reflects not only strong academics but also a well-rounded application that stood out among a competitive pool. In addition, I was awarded the Banneker/Key Scholarship at the University of Maryland — the school’s most prestigious full-ride merit scholarship given to only a small number of top applicants. On top of that, I received the Gates Millennium Scholarship, a nationally competitive and prestigious award that recognizes outstanding leadership, academic excellence, and community service. These achievements show that I understand how to craft an application that resonates with admissions committees and scholarship boards alike. I can help students identify and showcase their strengths, position themselves competitively, and maximize opportunities for both admission and funding.

When I was in your shoes as a high school student, I could not afford an admissions consulting firm, or to pay a former adcom member who only understands how one school thinks. I personally authored 100% of my end-to-end applications (essays, CVs, interview preparation, etc.) without these resources. Through a deep understanding of how to craft an authentic application, I was admitted to four Ivy League undergraduate schools despite having attended a public school in Kentucky that could not offer me admissions counseling: Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and UPenn. I have brought this understanding to my clients, who have been admitted to ALL 8 Ivy League colleges. With these same strategies, in my senior year I was also admitted to all three of the deferred MBA programs for undergraduates: HBS 2+2, Stanford Deferred Enrollment, and Yale SOM Silver Scholars program. I coach to give prospective students like you access to gold-standard application prep that will turbocharge your ability to land admissions ACROSS all top schools: -- Without the admissions consulting firm price tag -- With the perspective of someone who has been admitted to and attended multiple Ivy League schools (vs. an adcom member who only understands the perspective of one!) 💯

Welcome to my profile! As a Gates Cambridge Scholar and PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge, I bring a wealth of academic and research experience to my coaching. My journey through the University of Notre Dame, where I majored in Honors Biochemistry and minored in Data Science, has equipped me with a strong foundation in both the sciences and analytical thinking. I've had the privilege of working in diverse research settings, including the Mayo Clinic and Pfizer, which has honed my ability to guide students through the complexities of college applications, especially those with a focus on STEM fields. Also, I was able to serve on an admissions board for a scholars group at Notre Dame, so I've learned what they are looking for in a future student. Whether you're aiming for top-tier universities or need help navigating the admissions process, I'm here to provide personalized support and insights. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that showcases your unique strengths and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey towards academic success!

I graduated from Yale University as a Global Affairs major, magna cum laude, and have an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I was an Arjay Miller Scholar in the top 10% of the class. My background includes serving as Co-President of Women in Management at Stanford, where I supported women-focused admissions programming, and as an alumni interviewer for Yale University. With experience in private equity and leadership roles at Morgan Stanley, I have a deep understanding of what top undergraduate programs, business schools, and companies seek. I've supported coaching clients in crafting compelling applications and navigating the competitive admissions process. My educational experiences transformed my life- I want others to have their own rewarding college and graduate school experiences too. Let's work together to make your educational dreams a reality!

I bring a unique perspective to college and MBA admissions coaching because I’ve experienced the process from both sides, as an advisor and as an applicant. After graduating from undergrad, I worked at the business school at UCLA in student affairs, where I collaborated closely with admissions and supported prospective students through their journey. I had the opportunity to coach applicants, answer their questions honestly, and help them understand what admissions committees are truly looking for. I also served on my undergraduate alma mater’s admissions committee, where I reviewed applications and essays, giving me direct insight into how candidates are evaluated. After going through the MBA application process myself, I realized how valuable genuine, strategic guidance is. Too often, applicants receive vague advice, especially when networking, and it can be difficult to know how to stand out while still being authentic. That’s why my approach is rooted in honesty and clarity. I help applicants connect the dots between their experiences, their goals, and their story in a way that feels true to who they are. My goal is not to help you become who you think admissions wants but to help you present the strongest, most authentic version of yourself. You’ll always get real answers, thoughtful strategy, and guidance from someone who truly understands the process.
