Master's Programs Admissions

I help applicants connect their background, work, and goals into authentic MBA application narratives. I went from rural Virginia to Intuit to Stanford GSB and now Chief of Staff at a pioneering nonprofit. At GSB, I focused on social entrepreneurship and piloted a wellness marketplace for underserved BIPOC communities. I've successfully navigated applications through Consortium and beyond. I'm particularly effective with applicants transitioning between corporate tech and social impact, discussing personal challenges authentically, or coming from underrepresented backgrounds. I'm new to professional coaching but have years of mentoring experience through my Spark scholarship program and bring fresh perspective from recently completing this process myself.

With a Master of Public Health from New York University and extensive experience in global public health initiatives, I am well-equipped to guide you through the complexities of master's program applications.

I have successfully managed and coordinated numerous international projects, providing me with a deep understanding of the skills and experiences that top programs seek in candidates. Whether you need help with application strategy, personal statements, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to make your master's program aspirations a reality!

I’m a CMU Master of Science in Software Management (MSSM) graduate and former Student Admissions Ambassador who has coached candidates into product, software, data, and tech-business master’s programs. My approach blends product strategy, engineering leadership, and business storytelling: we clarify your career narrative, craft impact-driven resumes and statements, and align target schools with your skill gaps and goals. I’ve led applicants end-to-end from discovery and school selection to essays, referrals, interviews, and final decisions. I specialize in PM/Software/Data tracks and international student guidance (program fit, funding, visas, internships, and U.S. recruiting). If you want tactical, industry-grounded coaching with clear milestones and accountability, I’m in your corner.

I have helped over 100 candidates gain admission to Master’s programs at Columbia, NYU, USC, King’s College London, SOAS, Sciences Po, and other top universities across the US, UK, and Europe. Many of my clients are applying across borders or in a second language. On paper, they may already look strong. What they need is help shaping a clear, distinctive story that shows admissions committees not just what they have done, but how they think, what drives them, and why they belong in the room. I work across disciplines including business, communication and media, education, and the humanities. What these programs are looking for is not just achievement, but clarity, intellectual maturity, and perspective. I help you identify what makes you stand out and communicate it in a way that is thoughtful, confident, and memorable.

◆ 5 years of experience as a grad school admissions coach, with a focus on STEM programs and a skew towards international applicants ◆ Coached 50+ candidates to land acceptances at their dream schools, including Stanford, Harvard, and other top universities ◆ Personally accepted to Stanford's Management Science and Engineering program in 2019 and graduated at the top of the class ◆ After graduation, spent 6 years as a management consultant at McKinsey, then launched an investment fund called Par 3 Partners Five years ago, I built a grad school admissions toolkit that helped me get accepted into Stanford's MS&E program -- my dream program at my dream school. Since then, I’ve refined that toolkit by working with dozens of students -- continuously adding, pruning, and sharpening it into a highly targeted, repeatable system that works. For example, I'm thesis-first, meaning that before you write a single word, I work with you to define the one sentence an admissions officer should be able to repeat about you after a six-minute read. Today, I systematically train candidates on this program, coaching them to think and communicate the way that top programs expect: powerful, confident, and compelling. I work with candidates across the full admissions cycle, from high-leverage, last-mile prep for those nearing deadlines, to end-to-end partnerships covering program selection, interview prep, and early-stage essay development. Clients frequently describe my feedback as direct and precise, but warm and supportive. I won’t sugarcoat, and I won’t let vague thinking or unclear communication slide, but I’m deeply invested in each candidate’s success and fully bought into helping them perform at their best when it matters most. If you’re looking for someone with the experience to show you a process that actually works, I’d be excited to partner with you.

Hello! A little bit about myself--I'm a healthcare strategist with a passion for anything writing, analysis, and research oriented.

I coach applicants to master’s programs by combining firsthand academic experience, admissions insight, and structured application strategy. I earned my Master’s in Chemical Engineering at Columbia University as a fully funded scholar with a stipend, where I conducted research in an electrochemical solar fuels lab and published a manuscript on seawater electrolysis. This background allows me to guide candidates applying to technical, research-driven, and interdisciplinary master’s programs with clarity on academic fit, faculty alignment, and research positioning. In addition to my academic training, I have served on the University of Bradford admissions committee, giving me direct exposure to how graduate applications are evaluated and what differentiates strong candidates from average ones. I am currently an MBA candidate at The Wharton School, serving as Student Body President, and have worked in strategic and product roles at organizations such as Amazon and TD Bank. I help clients translate complex academic, professional, and personal experiences into compelling, well-structured applications that clearly communicate impact, motivation, and program fit.
