I am currently a 3L student at University of Pennsylvania Law School. I was accepted off the waitlist in May 2023; before I committed to Penn, I was planning on attending UCLA Law. At Penn, I was awarded the Leader of the Year Award for my pro bono work my 2L year, received my Wharton Certificate in Management, and was a Wharton McNulty Nonprofit Board Fellow with Jounce Partners. I am the Development Editor for the Journal of Constitutional Law and led both the Pardon Project and Democracy Law Project (the two largest pro bono projects at Penn). Before law school, I worked for three years -- I was on the 2020 Biden Campaign and then worked in the Administration at the U.S. Department of Health of Human Services in the Secretary's Office. I have mentored four people through the law school waitlist process, drawing on my own experience of being initially waitlisted at Penn. When I applied to law school, I was working long hours and was not a natural test taker, so I focused on leveraging my professional experience and presenting my story in the strongest possible way. That approach earned me admission to UCLA Law (a T14 school) through my personal statement and essays, and later, I was accepted off the waitlists at both Georgetown Law and Penn Law before starting 1L. Since then, I have coached four applicants through the same process, helping them strategically navigate their waitlists. Each of them ultimately secured admission to their top-choice school, along with several others. I hope to continue using my experience to help future applicants maximize their chances of success.

Welcome to my profile! With a Juris Doctor from the University of Sydney and extensive experience as a lawyer at top firms like Kirkland & Ellis and Gilbert + Tobin, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the law school admissions process. As a former Faculty Board Member of the Sydney University Law Society, I understand the nuances of what top law schools are looking for in applicants. My background in commercial strategy and my role as a strategy facilitator at London Business School have honed my ability to craft compelling narratives and strategic applications. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier law school or need guidance on your personal statement and interviews, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and strategise your path to law school success!

As a JD/MBA graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I offer a unique dual-lens approach to the admissions process. Having successfully navigated the rigors of both Penn Carey Law and The Wharton School, I help applicants master the "dual-narrative" required for elite joint-degree programs. My coaching focuses on more than just high LSAT/GMAT scores; I specialize in synthesizing professional experience into a cohesive story that resonates with both legal and business admissions committees. Whether you are targeting a T14 law school or a top-tier MBA, I provide the strategic roadmap I used to secure my own seat at the table.

With a JD from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and an MBA from Wharton, I bring a unique blend of legal and business acumen to my coaching. My experience as a student interviewer for Georgetown University admissions and as a case interview interviewer at Wharton has equipped me with the skills to help aspiring law students navigate the competitive admissions process. I find my biggest value add to be dispelling the myths and rumors you may have encountered on forums like Reddit or in talking with other folks who have not been throught the process in recent years. In my experience, the Internet has a lot of half truths, so I am eager to clarify any thoughts or concerns you may have. I am also happy to provide candid advice on whether law school makes sense. I know far too many people who end up at law school through inertia and would have preferred another path. I firmly believe I was able to get a large scholarship and broad T14 acceptenace because of my ability to create a compelling narrative. Beyond a good score and GPA, it really all boils down to a compelling personal statement. This is where I shine - let me help you with this and more. Whether you're looking to refine your personal statement, prepare for interviews, or strategize your application, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

I know what it takes to build a competitive law school application because I've lived the full arc of it: from choosing the right extracurriculars as an undergrad to successfully navigating two separate law school admissions cycles, first as an initial applicant and then as a transfer student. I studied political science at BYU, where I balanced a packed extracurricular schedule that ranged from cheerleading and Political Review to serving as an officer for Women in Politics, all while completing a global marketing study abroad and several legal and political internships. That experience taught me firsthand how to build a narrative that ties together leadership, service, and academic interests into something admissions committees actually remember. I also understand transitions and tough decisions better than most coaches, because I've made them myself. I started law school at BYU, then transferred to Texas Tech Law to support my husband's medical training, and I'm about to begin there this fall. Along the way, I served on the executive board for the Government and Politics Club and the Federalist Society, and completed a government relations internship with Intermountain Health during my 1L year. Whether you're an undergrad trying to figure out which experiences and activities will strengthen your application, or navigating a major life decision like a transfer or school change alongside your admissions strategy, I can help you make choices that are authentic to you and compelling to law school admissions committees.
