Natural Sciences Master’s Admissions Consultants

Hello and welcome! I hold dual Master’s degrees from the University of Oxford—a Master’s in Public Policy and an MBA—as well as a First Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of Cape Town. My academic and professional experiences, including working with organisations like McKinsey & Company and KPMG, have equipped me to guide students through the rigorous admissions processes for competitive graduate programmes. Having personally navigated these challenges and co-founded a student chapter of Effective Altruism, I understand how to craft compelling applications that reflect your unique strengths and aspirations. Whether you’re refining your statement of purpose or building a targeted admissions strategy, I’m here to provide personalised guidance to help you achieve your academic and professional ambitions.

With a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Harvard University and extensive experience in health policy, I am well-equipped to guide you through the complexities of master's program applications. My background includes roles in Consulting, Philanthropy, Non-profits, and the Senate, working across public health, public policy, and international relations. I successfully navigated my own applications as a woman of color and first generation masters student, resulting in acceptances from Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University. I have also coached multiple individuals, helping them navigate their own masters program applications. I am especially eager to support and work alongside minority applicants such as people/women of color, LGBTQ+, and first generation students. Whether you need assistance with personal statements, interview preparation, or overall application and career strategy, I'm here to help you achieve your academic goals!

You have a story worth sharing: I am here to help you tell it. As a Gates-Cambridge Scholar, Rhodes Scholarship Finalist, and an incoming MD candidate at Columbia University, I bring a unique perspective to the graduate school and competitive international fellowship application processes. My academic and professional journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of what top programs seek in applicants. I have successfully coached multiple individuals and have sat on professional panels, helping individuals craft compelling applications to best highlight their strengths and communicate their unique story. Whether you need guidance on personal statements, recommendation letters, interview preparation, or anything else, I am here to personally help you navigate your path to achieving a place in your dream program. I am excited to work with you!

I've navigated elite admissions firsthand — UCL for my undergraduate degree, then LBS as a Merit Scholar — and I've coached candidates into competitive Master's programmes since. Coming from a Natural Sciences background before moving into finance, I understand the non-linear applicant especially well: how to turn an unconventional path into a coherent, compelling case rather than a liability. I coach the whole application — story, essays, and interview — with the same focus on clarity and conviction that gets borderline-strong candidates over the line.

With over 20 years of experience in public health, I am a seasoned researcher and evaluator with a passion for qualitative research and harnessing people-driven insights. As the former Chief Research and Evaluation Officer at Texas Health Institute, I led a team of researchers and evaluators, conducting impactful studies and evaluations at the national, state, and community level. I am currently leading a team of 40 on a large data analytics project for Medicaid. I have also served as a Clinical Assistant Professor for Public Health at The University of Texas at Austin, where I taught courses on health policy, global health, and more. With my expertise in research and evaluation, I have successfully coached 20+ individuals in their journey to master's programs and over fifty for undergraduate admissions to top schools. If you're looking for guidance and support in navigating the admissions process, please reach out - I would love to help you achieve your goals!

Each program looks for something unique, and crafting your story to fit each school's needs is where I excel. By spending time to get to know you, learn your unique path, and develop a thorough narrative, top programs will not be able to resist learning more about you.

I have had several years experience with College Admissions consulting, helping students get into their dream schools including some of the most competitive institutions nationally and internationally (UCLA, Cornell, UPenn, Duke to name a few). I have also specialized in helping students apply to niche programs, graduate and MBA programs, and schools like Brigham Young University, but that's not all. My professional career has included my role as a management consultant, where I built pricing models for insurance companies, evaluated presidential foundations’ programming, and improved marketing at large corporations. What most informs my approach to admissions, however, is my time working on the other side of the admissions process as Director of Admissions for the University of Redlands School of Education and later Regional Director of Enrollment and Operations for both the School of Education and the School of Business. In addition, I was an Assistant Director of Recruitment for the Claremont Colleges, where I was responsible for the recruitment and marketing strategy of the Keck Graduate Institute working with prospective science and engineering students. Right out of my graduate program at Harvard, I worked for Google's HR department and at Kaplan, developing a national curriculum in reading, math and writing for K-8th graders. I've co-authored a Kaplan textbook on writing and was responsible for training instructors on best practices in pedagogy. As someone with a wide range of experiences personally and professionally, I love helping students shape and mold their own stories to help them stand out in the crowd. In my free time, I love all things British royals, ballroom dancing, traveling internationally, and watching movies with complex plot lines.

Welcome to my profile! With a Master of Education in Education Leadership from Harvard Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor of Arts in International Development Studies & Political Science from UCLA, I bring a strong academic foundation to my coaching practice. As a Program Manager for Early Talent Programs at SentinelOne and a former University Recruiter at BitGo and Robinhood, I have extensive experience in guiding individuals through the complexities of higher education and early career development. My time as a College Advisor at ScholarMatch allowed me to support first-generation college students, helping them navigate their academic journeys and achieve success. Having coached 62 individuals, I am passionate about helping you craft a compelling application for your master's program. Let's work together to make your academic dreams a reality!

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 was admitted to a 3 Master's of Biomedical Science programs for the purpose of strengthening my application to dental school: Rutgers, Nova Southeastern, and Roseman.
