College Admissions

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 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.

Welcome to my profile! I bring a unique, real-world perspective to college admissions coaching, shaped by my background in education, consulting, and admissions evaluation. I’m a former Teach For America Corps Member who successfully pivoted from the classroom into management consulting, most recently as a consultant at Deloitte. There, I led on-campus recruiting and served as an interviewer for early-career candidates, evaluating communication skills, problem-solving ability, and leadership potential across diverse applicant pools. I’ve also served on the student admissions committee at Johns Hopkins University, giving me firsthand insight into what highly selective schools look for in applicants. To date, I’ve coached 18 students through the college application process, helping them craft clear, compelling narratives that stand out authentically. I also specialize in guiding students on the responsible and effective use of AI in the essay-writing process, helping them leverage modern tools for brainstorming and structure while ensuring their final work remains original, personal, and admissions-safe. My approach is structured, practical, and student-centered, focused on aligning academic choices with long-term goals. If you’re ready to approach college admissions with clarity and confidence, I’d love to work with you.

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.

I'm a fashion industry professional with a background that bridges creative and analytical work — I earned my Bachelor's in Fashion Business Management from Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and my MS in Business Analytics from Fordham's Gabelli School, then built my career inside the luxury industry—from CRM and digital marketing at GQ and Brooks Brothers, to inventory analytics at Christian Dior Couture, to my current role as an Inventory & CapEx Analyst at OTB Group (the house behind Diesel, Maison Margiela, Marni, and Jil Sander). I've seen how fashion actually runs as a business: how brands manage merchandise, forecast trends, allocate capital, and turn consumer data into decisions. That's exactly what I help applicants convey. Fashion programs no longer admit on creative talent alone—they want candidates who understand the commercial engine behind the brand. I help you articulate genuine industry insight, back your vision with data and consumer behavior, and position yourself as someone who sees fashion as both an art and a business. Having studied at FIT myself, I know what these programs look for from the inside, and having worked across fashion sectors, I bring a global perspective that today's industry demands. My goal is to help you stand out as a strategic, commercially-minded creative that any program would be excited to admit :)

I’m an MIT alum (Class of 2014), was also accepted to Harvard, and previously served as an interviewer for MIT undergraduate admissions. Beyond admissions strategy, I understand firsthand the academic intensity, pressure, and identity shifts that come with entering highly competitive environments. As a certified coach (CPCC, ACC) with a background in strategy consulting, I support students not just in presenting themselves authentically during admissions, but also in building confidence, self-awareness, and resilience as they transition into college. My approach helps students not only stand out in the interview but also clarify what motivates them, manage pressure and expectations, and step into the next chapter with intention rather than fear.

With a strong academic background in cognitive science from Johns Hopkins University and a medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis, I bring a unique perspective to college admissions coaching. As a coach, I have guided many high school students in crafting compelling college applications that stand out, from every step in the process. My experience as a former MD Admissions Reviewer and Pre-Health Advisor has equipped me with the skills to help students present their best selves to admissions committees. I am passionate about helping you achieve your college dreams. Let's work together to make your application memorable and successful!

I transferred to Brown University as an international student (one of less than 10 in my 150+ transfer cohort) in my junior year (from the American University of Sharjah), so I have a ton of expertise in what it takes to get into elite colleges as an international. Was also accepted or waitlisted at Penn, Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, Barnard and Emory. Whether you need help with your application strategy, essays, or interview prep, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Reach out to start your journey to success! As a Teaching Assistant and Mentor at Brown University, I have a proven track record of helping students excel in their academic and entrepreneurial pursuits. I have mentored over 20 student teams on business models, pitching, and fundraising, with 85% of students reporting that my feedback significantly aided their learning. Additionally, I have coached over a dozen individuals through the college admissions process.

I've worked directly with over 100 students crafting their personal narrative, and helping show the strongest version of themselves to college admissions committees. I'm a Harvard alumni interviewer for applicants from the Chicago area and a school representative. I was admitted across Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Huntsman Program at Wharton (UPenn), Columbia, Amherst, Swarthmore, and more. My clients have been admitted across the Ivy League and M7, with the greatest representation at Harvard and UChicago.

Welcome!
