Admissions Audits & Editing Package
This package is built for ambitious applicants who are actively (or very soon) applying for graduate schools over the next 3 months, looking to build up their portfolio/profile in the process, AND put in the work outside of coaching sessions to increase their chances of getting accepted into grad school. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: - School Selection: Curate a mix of programs that align with your academic interests, professional aspirations, and personal values. - Profile Assessment: Conduct a deep dive into your candidacy to highlight strengths and uncover areas to enhance. - Application Strategy: Craft a compelling narrative that connects your academic, professional, and personal experiences. - Timeline Building: Create a month-by-month roadmap to stay organized and reduce stress throughout the process. - Test Prep Planning (if needed): Outline a personalized test prep strategy for exams like the GRE or GMAT based on your timeline and goals. - Extracurricular Planning & Portfolio Building: Identify gaps in profile for target schools and start addressing them ASAP (ideally before August if applying for programs in Fall). A great option for those who want to go to grad school but need clarity on which programs to apply for and a specific plan to prepare them to be a standout candidate. Additional sessions or packages can be added on to review package materials - like essays, CVs, and recommendations.

Ex-Carnegie Mellon Admissions Committee | 350+ Admits | MFE, CS, DS/ML, ENG
Throughout the past 12 yrs, I've worked in higher ed and freelanced as a Career Coach - reviewing resumes & conducting mock interviews for college/grad students in finance, engineering, and marketing, to mid-level professionals changing careers in healthcare, hospitality, and creative arts, to ex-directors from Deloitte, BCG, JPM, and Amazon. I originally went to school to become a child/family therapist and spent 5yrs post-grad earning my hours toward licensure. But during grad school, I realized how much I enjoyed working in career services. My clients could see progress after just one resume review! I've been a career coach ever since, freelancing up until this year where I took my practice full-time and had 20 clients in my first month! My favorite role was at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I worked for some of the toughest grad programs in the country - MSCF (MFE program heavy in stats, finance, data science, ML, and math) and 16 Master's Engineering programs. At MSCF, I met with employers globally, hosted workshops, and individually career coached 300+ students with 100% internship placement with 95% receiving full-time jobs by graduation. I loved working with my international students and neurodivergent students, while reviewing resumes for Executives on the side.
