Welcome! I earned my master’s degree in Comparative Social Policy from the University of Oxford, where I developed firsthand experience with the graduate admissions process and the demands of a rigorous, internationally competitive master’s program. I understand that applying to graduate school is about more than presenting strong credentials. It’s about articulating a clear intellectual direction and showing why a particular program is the right next step. I help applicants develop that narrative, from identifying the experiences and interests that distinguish them to crafting compelling statements of purpose and personal statements. My background also includes degrees from Duke University and Stanford Law School, as well as experience practicing law as an associate at Gibson Dunn. I have built my career around research, persuasive writing, strategic communication, and distilling complex experiences into clear and compelling narratives. Whether you’re deciding how to position your academic and professional background, developing your statement of purpose, or refining your final application materials, I’ll help you present a thoughtful, cohesive application that demonstrates both what you have accomplished and where you want to go next.

I've experienced graduate admissions from both sides of the process. I hold master's degrees from New York University and Clemson University, and my decade of experience in university enrollment has given me an insider's perspective on the application process and how candidates can distinguish themselves. As an ICF-certified coach, I bring a supportive yet strategic approach to graduate admissions. From refining your personal statement to articulating your academic and professional experiences, I'll help you build a compelling application that communicates your readiness for graduate study and makes your unique strengths clear.

My approach combines strategic positioning with hands-on support—from identifying the stories that best differentiate you to refining essays, resumes, recommendations, and interview preparation. Whether you’re starting from a blank page or looking for a strategic second set of eyes on an application already underway, my goal is to help you build an application that is authentic to who you are and clear about where you’re going.
