My journey through these institutions has equipped me with the insights needed to help you craft a standout application.

Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!

I was accepted to Stanford and multiple Ivy League Schools, which taught me exactly how to build a standout academic and extracurricular profile. In high school, I pursued Stanford-affiliated research, led nonprofit and community initiatives, and built a set of top-tier extracurriculars that helped differentiate my application. In college, I’ve continued that trajectory as a student senator, campus leader, and someone who has worked across four countries in finance, business, and international development. I know what elite admissions offices look for and how to help students craft compelling stories, because I’ve done it myself and helped others do the same. I have a 100% success rate of getting my mentees into their top 3 choice schools. Let's work together to achieve your goals! Reach out to get started.

My experience as a varsity Track & Field athlete and involvement in various student organizations at Stanford have equipped me with the insights needed to help students craft compelling stories and applications that stand out. Before making my decision to attend Stanford, I visited and communicated extensively with Harvard and Princeton. This firsthand knowledge allows me to offer you expert guidance in finding the school that best suits your needs academically and athletically. Over the years, I've successfully coached international students, guiding them through the intricacies of the college admissions process and helping them gain acceptance to their dream schools. Whether you need assistance with application strategy, essay writing, interview preparation or athletic scholarship information I'm here to help you succeed.

As a college admissions coach, I specialize in helping students from everyday backgrounds craft standout applications that unlock doors to top-tier universities, often with incredible scholarships. I’ve guided students through every step of the process, from strategic course planning and letter of recommendation strategy to powerful, authentic essay writing that speaks directly to what admissions officers want to see. My students have been admitted to UC schools, USC, elite private liberal arts colleges, and Ivy League institutions, many attending for a fraction of the sticker price. I believe that great outcomes don’t require perfect resumes or expensive consultants, just smart strategy, clear storytelling, and someone in your corner who’s done it before.

I was admitted Early Decision to Duke University and also received the Regents Scholarship to every UC school I applied to (including Berkeley and UCLA). I had a 4.0 unweighted GPA in high school and a 4.0 GPA at Duke University, where I graduated summa cum laude with degrees in Classics and Computer Science. While I have been told I am a skilled writer, more importantly, I promise I can help you be a skilled writer as well, even if you aren't already. Writing doesn't come naturally to me, but after majoring in the classics and participating in academic debate, I have an excellent understanding of what makes writing persuasive and memorable—something I will help you apply to your college essays. GPA and extracurricular activities are important (and I will give you detailed and comprehensive advice on maximizing both of these aspects), but I guarantee that every student I coach will have not just excellent stats, but also a well-rounded application that will turn heads at any school.

Hi! I am a Northwestern University grad with three degrees (BS Mechanical Engineering, BM Music Performance, and MS Mechanical Engineering), with an MBA from Harvard Business School. I've helped over 30+ students successfully navigate college admissions across different programs, majors, and goals. Let's connect so we can figure out how to make your journey successful!

I’m a Harvard-educated admissions consultant who helps high-achieving students stand out. Over the past 13 years, I’ve guided more than 600 applicants to top U.S. colleges and graduate programs — including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, and other Ivies — through strategic storytelling, school list curation, and essay coaching. My clients have earned acceptances to top-25 schools and, in many cases, significant merit scholarships — even without perfect grades or conventional résumés. If your family is aiming for a top-tier school — and wants strategic, honest, high-impact support — I’d love to connect.

I provide soup-to-nuts application consulting. I have spent over a decade coaching students through undergraduate admissions — five years at Crimson Education focused on admissions strategy and extracurricular development, before that at Princeton Review, and more recently through my own practice, Edgewise Prep. My recent placements include Harvard College, Cornell, NYU, Columbia, and Yale, among others. 30+ top 10 admissions. My approach is built around a simple idea: original personalities produce original applications. I am not an essay factory, and I do not ghostwrite. Students write their own words — I coach the strategy, structure, and voice behind them. What I focus on is finding the thread that makes a candidacy coherent and memorable: the theme that runs through your activities, your essays, your recommenders, and your school list, so that admissions sees one consistent, compelling person rather than a list of credentials. Where I am particularly strong is extracurricular development — what I call the long game. Most consultants show up in senior year to polish essays. I work with students earlier, helping them identify what they genuinely care about, build real activities around those interests, and develop the kind of depth and recognition that admissions committees actually respond to. The goal is a T-shaped profile: one or two areas of clear excellence, surrounded by a complementary range of activities that show who you are as a full person. We build, not buy no pay-for-play research programs, no voluntourism, no manufactured credentials. I also believe in honest feedback. When an essay is weak, I say so. When an activity is fluff, we cut it. My job is to help you put forward the strongest, most authentic version of yourself — not to tell you what you want to hear. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania (M&T Program) and earned my MBA at MIT Sloan, so I have walked through the doors you are trying to walk through. I know what strong applications look like from the inside, and I know what makes them stand out.

Seasoned college counselor with 10 years of experience mentoring dedicated students to gain entry into elite undergraduate programs that truly match their personalities, values, and goals. In the last five years, my students have gained admission to Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, U Penn, U Chicago, Dartmouth, Brown, Rice, Duke, Vanderbilt, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Washington University in St. Louis, Amherst, Bowdoin, Wellesley, Pomona, Middlebury, UVA, UNC, UT Austin, U Michigan, U Washington, NYU, USC, and many other highly selective colleges. I'm proud to have cultivated the industry acumen and 1-1 mentorship skills to guide students with diverse interests and personalities to pursue successful application strategies for top-choice colleges, particularly in the early admissions rounds. For the Class of 2023 alone, my students had a 100% acceptance rate in the early admission round and will be attending Stanford, U Chicago, Brown, Vanderbilt, and Washington University in St. Louis (among others). I've worked hard to refine my coaching methods to achieve such success. Having studied screenwriting at Middlebury College, I relish helping students craft compelling application stories that communicate their identities, showcase their passions, and crystalize their visions. My comprehensive guidance through extracurricular and personal development enables my students to stay authentic and confident — and it achieves results. I'm proud to have worked effectively with students with a diverse range of intellectual, social, and personal interests. I seek to help each student elevate their genuine passions on their own terms, developing not only their intrinsic motivation, but their productivity and vision for the future. I have been blessed to guide and learn from more than a hundred top students interested in STEM and engineering, business or economics, or humanities, arts, and social sciences. I am confident that I can help any teenager explore their future pathways while capitalizing on their present opportunities to craft the most compelling application package possible.

I was accepted into two Ivy League universities (Yale and Harvard) as well as other top-tier colleges. I also graduated as a salutatorian at my high school out of a class of 700+ students. I love the process of writing and tailoring each student's unique life experiences and personality to the style of questions asked in college applications.
