College Admissions

I have extensive experience coaching students to get into top undergraduate programs across the country. I was a Philosophy major at Northwestern University, where I scored high marks. I am able to essay review and review applications amongst other areas

As a University of Michigan alum and former member of the admissions committee, I have a deep understanding of what top universities are looking for in applicants. My professional journey includes roles at Google, ZS Associates, and Southwest Airlines, where I honed my analytical and strategic skills. I have a passion for helping students craft compelling college applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Whether you need guidance on your personal statement, extracurriculars, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you stand out in the competitive college admissions process. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!

Hi there! I'm Vania, a current student at Stanford University, also admitted to Oxford University. Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of guiding ambitious international students to acceptance at elite institutions, including Columbia University, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and several of the Top 5 U.K. universities. My journey isn’t just about grades and acceptance letters; it’s about discovering your one-of-a-kind voice. Drawing on my own experiences—and supported by a track record of coaching students to success—I help applicants uncover personal stories that resonate deeply with admissions readers. We dig beyond the resume to find those authentic moments—maybe a small everyday experience or a deeply reflective insight—that become the compelling centerpiece of your application. This approach reflects what top coaches emphasize: essays that offer heartfelt insight, not just bullet-point achievements. Together, we'll craft essays that don’t just tell your story—they invite the reader into your world. Expect thoughtful brainstorming, rigorous revisions, and feedback that pushes your narrative to shine. You’re not just applying—you’re leaving an impression, and I’m here to make sure it's a memorable one.

I'm a Cornell University graduate with a major in Industrial and Labor Relations and a minor in business. My career has taken me across some of the most dynamic fields out there. After Cornell, I joined Deloitte as a management consultant, working with Fortune 500 companies, then transitioned to a private family office where I led climate strategy for a philanthropy portfolio. Driven by a passion for sustainability and entrepreneurship, I went on to culinary school before pursuing a dual MBA/Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley. I've worked with students from both public and private high schools, and I bring the same strategic, big-picture thinking from my career to help students craft compelling, authentic applications that stand out to college admissions teams.

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.
