Natural Sciences Master’s Admissions Experts

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! I’m a UC Berkeley graduate with a Master of Molecular Science and Software Engineering and a background that combines STEM, education, mentorship, and academic advising. Over the past several years, I’ve supported students from a wide range of backgrounds — including international, transfer, first-generation, and high-achieving applicants — as they navigated competitive undergraduate and graduate academic pathways. My experience includes working as an Ivy League University Mentor, Academic & Career Advisor, tutor, and educational mentor, where I helped students with university and graduate school applications, school selection, essays, resumes, interview preparation, financial aid guidance, and overall application strategy. I’ve worked with students pursuing opportunities in STEM, engineering, data science, healthcare, and other competitive fields, including applicants targeting top universities across the United States. My coaching style is supportive, strategic, and highly personalized. I believe strong applications come from more than impressive achievements — they come from understanding how to clearly communicate your story, goals, and strengths in a way that feels authentic and compelling. Whether you’re applying to college, pursuing a master’s program, exploring career directions, or feeling overwhelmed by the admissions process, I’m here to help simplify the journey and build a plan tailored to your goals. I’m especially passionate about helping students gain clarity and confidence while navigating complex academic and professional decisions. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

I hold master’s degrees from both NYU and Clemson, so I understand firsthand what it’s like to apply to competitive graduate programs - and how to stand out. My 11+ years working in admissions at top universities have given me an insider’s perspective on what committees look for and how candidates can distinguish themselves. As an ICF-Certified Coach, I bring a supportive yet strategic approach to guiding applicants through the graduate admissions process. From refining your personal statement to highlighting your academic and professional achievements, I’ll help you craft an application that demonstrates your readiness and confidence.
