As a graduate of Harvard Kennedy School’s Master in Public Administration program and Creighton University’s Master in Investment Management and Financial Analysis program, I bring both the insider’s perspective and the strategist’s eye to the admissions journey. I have served on the Harvard Kennedy School admissions committee, participated in high-profile initiatives such as the Forte Foundation and Ladies Who Launch, and led numerous school tours and admissions events designed to shape and select the next generation of leaders. This dual vantage point, of both applicant and gatekeeper, allows me to guide clients with precision and candor. I know what elite admissions committees look for, what makes an application unforgettable, and how to transform a candidate’s story into a compelling case for acceptance. My coaching is rigorous, deeply personal, and grounded in the belief that every applicant can rise to meet the standards of the world’s most competitive graduate programs when their true narrative is brought to light.

I have years of experience as a hiring manager in education and I have been actively involved in admissions decisions for graduate programs, providing me with a deep understanding of what academic institutions are looking for in graduate school applicants and career professional candidates.

My experience as a working mother while completing my own graduate degrees, eight years of online teaching/remote work, and guiding "working professional" online graduate students gives me a unique perspective on balancing family, school, and work while also practicing self-care.

I am a public policy professional and have lived, worked, and studied in Panama, the United States, and China. I know what it's like to navigate highly selective admissions and hiring processes as an international applicant, and I'm here to share with you the insights that my clients and I have used land spots at the Ivy League, Oxbridge, M7, and Schwarzman Scholars.

I work with applicants targeting competitive Master's programmes at UK universities, with a particular focus on healthcare, policy, global affairs, and social sciences. I've completed three Master's-level qualifications, two of which were in the UK - an MSc in China & Globalisation at King's College London, and a fully-funded Master's in Healthcare Leadership (jointly delivered by the Universities of Birmingham and Manchester). Between them, I've navigated everything from a highly competitive academic social sciences programme to a funded, vocational leadership Master's designed for practising public health sector professionals - so I understand how differently these applications need to be approached depending on the programme type. I also completed my undergraduate degree, a BSc in Political Economy, at King's College London, where I served as a student ambassador, supporting prospective and incoming students through the application process itself. I bring the same structured, strategic approach to every client: understanding what a specific programme and admissions panel is actually looking for, then helping you build a personal statement and application that reflects your genuine strengths clearly and compellingly, rather than a generic template.
