College Admissions

From helping craft compelling personal statements to navigating the complexities of school selection and financial aid, I'd love to help you make a traditionally stressful process feel frictionless. At Scholar Co and HelloCollege, I helped students' authentic voices shine through the 2D application--gaining them entry to programs above their stats in many cases. My diverse background in literature and theater, pre-medical studies, and now Education at UPenn equips me work students of diverse backgrounds and interests. Whether you're just starting your application journey or need finishing polishes, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's connect and make your college dreams a reality!

I’ve raised thousands in grants and scholarships, earned a full-ride to a top-tier university through need-based aid, and was selected as a Cornell Meinig Scholar for exceptional leadership ( 1 of 50 freshmen out of 5000+ accepted - Top 2% of all undergrads) . My application wins include the Brower Youth Award (2% acceptance rate) and Lilly Endowment Scholarship (2.3%). I was accepted Early Decision and have helped peers craft bold, authentic applications that cut through. Whether you’re aiming for top schools, competitive scholarships, or need-based aid—I can help you build a strategy that gets results.

Hello and welcome to my profile! My professional career spans roles at competitive firms like Bain & Company (management consulting), Greycroft (VC/growth equity), and Snap Inc. (marketing & technical project management). I led resume reviews, interviews, and hiring decisions across all levels at each of these companies. On the college front, I was privileged to attend the University of Southern California (USC) on a merit scholarship. I majored in Economics and also graduated from their prestigious Thematic Option honors program. I've since supported several students through their own application processes, helping them craft compelling narratives, strategically position their applications, and prepare for interviews. While I have significant experience in various industries, I’m most passionate about technology, entrepreneurship, finance, and retail / consumer brands. Let's work together to make your career dreams a reality—reach out to start your journey today!

I'm an MIT grad and current MBA student at Columbia, but more importantly, I've spent years thinking deeply about what makes someone compelling to colleges. My background in buy-side equity research taught me to spot what's truly valuable, and that skill extends perfectly to helping you understand what makes your story stand out. I've walked the path you're on. I know what it takes to get into a top school, how to navigate competitive environments, and how to communicate your authentic self when stakes feel high. Whether you're an athlete, an artist, or someone with a unique story to tell, I genuinely believe every student has something colleges are looking for. We just need to find it and frame it right. Beyond the application, I'm here to help you think strategically about your choices, build confidence in your voice, and create a narrative that feels true to who you are. No generic templates. No fluff. Just honest conversation about your strengths, your goals, and how to present yourself in the best light. Let's make this process feel less stressful and more exciting. You've got this. I'm just here to help you show it.

I've cracked the admissions code twice (once for undergrad, once for MBA) and spent 5+ years as an undergraduate admissions interviewer for UPenn, giving me rare insight from both sides of the process. I specialize in essay crafting that gets remembered, transforming activities into compelling leadership narratives, and building strategic school lists (including across both early + regular cycles) that maximize your chances.

College admissions has changed. In an era when every student has access to AI, success depends on knowing how to use these tools thoughtfully without sacrificing the originality, judgment, and authentic voice that distinguish an exceptional application. Drawing on more than 15 years of coaching and tutoring experience, I help students use AI ethically for research, learning, and standardized-test preparation while developing essays that sound unmistakably like them. My students have earned admission to institutions including Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Duke, UChicago, NYU Stern, and Georgetown. My approach is highly bespoke: I take the time to understand each student’s ambitions, strengths, challenges, and working style, then build a strategy around what they actually need. That may include academic and extracurricular positioning, SAT or ACT preparation, school selection, application planning, scholarships, interviews, and intensive essay development. Rather than handing students a generic formula, I provide a trusted, one-stop partnership that helps them produce stronger applications while becoming more confident researchers, writers, and thinkers.

I have successfully coached several students in the past to strengthen their college applications to gain admission to top schools.
