One of the most important parts of college admissions is the story you tell, and I love helping students discover, craft, and communicate theirs in a way that feels authentic, compelling, and uniquely their own. When I applied to college from high school, I was accepted to all 13 of the 13 schools on my list, including Stanford, Yale, Princeton, UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and Columbia. I ultimately chose Stanford, where I earned my B.S. in Management Science and Engineering and later pursued my M.S. in Sustainability Science and Practice. Since then, I’ve coached students who have gone on to gain admission to Stanford, Yale, Princeton, UC Berkeley, Columbia, Brown, and more. My experience at Stanford, along with my professional background at EY-Parthenon and KKR, has shaped my strategic, analytical approach to the admissions process. I help students develop compelling application narratives, write memorable essays, build thoughtful application strategies, prepare for interviews, and identify scholarship opportunities and selective academic programs. I believe every student has a story worth telling, and my goal is to help them communicate what makes them distinctive and put their best foot forward. I look forward to helping you navigate the process with confidence and build an application that reflects your full potential!
