What's included
My interdisciplinary approach is built from: • Harvard admissions experience to focus on what truly moves the needle in competitive applications • Training from UCLA’s two-year College Counseling Certificate program in admissions advising and student guidance • Public relations psychology from serving as the spokesperson for a major global technology company • Performance and mindset principles as a current world-ranked athlete • A no-judgment, highly supportive environment Rather than shaping students into scripted, “perfect” applicants, I focus on helping them understand their strengths, make strategic decisions, and position themselves authentically within the college admissions process.

Harvard Admissions | 500+ Students Coached | Master Your Strategy with Me
Hi, I’m Madeleine! I gained firsthand experience with selective admissions while serving on the Harvard undergraduate admissions interviewing team, where I learned exactly what interviewers listen for and how one strong conversation can shift an entire application. Since then, I have mentored thousands of students on the interview process, helping them communicate with authenticity, clarity, and confidence so interviewers clearly see their potential and want to advocate for them. I am also a former NCAA Division I Student Athlete of the Year and a current world ranked athlete, so I love bringing performance, mindset, and presence into my coaching. In my work as a spokesperson for a global technology company, I have learned how to influence a room simply by showing up as your strongest self. As someone who once navigated the college process as an international student, my goal is to help you feel prepared, grounded, and genuinely excited to share your story and shine in your interview. P.S. I love making my sessions FUN and PRODUCTIVE! Developing valuable skills that will last a lifetime ✨💪🎤📚
