Being a first-generation college student—let alone the first person in my family to go to GRADUATE school—was HARD. And while it’s impossible for me to go back in time and share the insights I’ve gained with my former freshman self, it’s not too late for me to share them with YOU. Over the last six years, I’ve worked with students to reach their most ambitious goals, helping them to take their first steps as future physicians, PAs, researchers, engineers, public health professionals, data scientists, business professionals, and leaders in countless industries. My extensive experience with STEM students has resulted in my applicants landing at medical and graduate school programs all across the country, and even around the world, including (but not limited to!) the University of Michigan, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Case Western, Duke, UC-Berkeley, MIT, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins. But before that, I was a student just like you: determined but overwhelmed; goal-oriented but not sure where to start. After starting college as an architecture major, I switched to business before realizing that MY purpose was to help others pursue THEIRS. After earning my master’s degree from Western Michigan University, I began working in higher education; my experience as a mentor, an advisor, an instructor, and a coach has taught me how to help people tell their stories effectively, gain experience intentionally, and make their way into spaces that THEIR freshman year selves had only dreamed of.
