Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Coaches, Events, and Resources

I am an alumnus of the 7th cohort of Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University, where I earned a Master's of Management Science in Global Affairs between 2022-23 and was selected from competitive pool of 3,000+ applicants (<5% acceptance rate). I bring firsthand experience and deep insights into what makes a successful master's application and I've previously helped advise candidates who have gone on to be accepted to prestigious graduate programs across China, Europe, and the United States. Throughout my educational journey, I've learned how to strategically frame and present one's leadership, academic, and professional accomplishments to highlight their unique strengths and successfully stand out.

Welcome to my profile! As a US Rhodes Scholar and a seasoned academic with degrees from Harvard and Oxford, I have firsthand experience navigating the competitive landscape of prestigious scholarships and fellowships. My journey includes a Master of Public Policy and a Master of Science in Pharmacology, where I achieved distinction and served as a course representative. I have also been deeply involved in impactful projects, such as co-founding Project Cascade in Uganda and conducting infectious disease research at the Broad Institute. My diverse background equips me to guide you through the intricacies of scholarship applications, from crafting compelling personal statements to preparing for interviews. Let's work together to unlock your potential and secure the opportunities you deserve. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your journey!

Winning a scholarship is not just about proving excellence. It is about showing why you are worth investing in. Throughout my own academic journey, I have been awarded highly competitive scholarships and fellowships, including Becas Europa, two consecutive Excellence Scholarships from the Regional Government of Madrid, an AUIP international research fellowship, a competitive fellowship at The Heritage Foundation, and several national academic awards. These experiences taught me that scholarship committees rarely select candidates based on achievements alone. The strongest applications demonstrate something deeper: a clear sense of purpose, an understanding of the organization's mission, and a realistic vision of how that opportunity will create value beyond the individual applicant. That is the approach I bring to every client. Together, we will identify what makes you distinctive, define the impact you want to have, and build an authentic narrative that connects your strengths, your long-term goals, and the values of the scholarship you are applying for. Scholarships are not awarded to the most impressive résumé. They are awarded to candidates who convince a committee that investing in them will create lasting value.

I helped 4 people gain admission to Schwarzman Scholars in 2025 alone, including both candidates from "target" and "non-target" schools as well as US and non-US candidates. I've seen how the program can transform lives, and I'd love to help you craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and potential. Reach out to start your journey towards securing this exciting opportunity!

I work with applicants targeting highly competitive international scholarships and fellowships, with a particular focus on global affairs, public policy, healthcare, and leadership. As a member of the 2025-2026 Schwarzman Scholars cohort at Tsinghua University, I’ve navigated a global selection process firsthand. I understand how panels assess leadership potential, and long-term vision, and how challenging it can be to translate strong experiences into a coherent, compelling narrative. Prior to Schwarzman, I completed a fully-funded Master's in Healthcare Leadership (jointly delivered by the Universities of Birmingham and Manchester), and both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at King's College London - where I also served as a student ambassador, supporting prospective and incoming students through competitive application processes. I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for both leadership and writing, including the Heather Trickey Prize for policy writing on women’s health, selection as a China-United States Exchange Foundation Young Leaders Scholar (8 selected from over 12,000 applicants), and appointment as a One Young World Ambassador. Each of these experiences required clarity and thoughtful positioning, as well as the ability to articulate impact at a high level. Alongside this, my career across healthcare leadership, consulting, policy, and startup building has required me to consistently operate in high-stakes, and competitive environments. I bring that same structured, strategic, and reflective approach to the applicants I work with.

I'm a recent Schwarzman Scholar and Princeton in Asia Fellow, and I was also a Semi-Finalist for the Fulbright Nehru Open Study/Research Award (India). I have extensive experience both as an applicant and advisor for these scholarship/fellowship programs and similar ones in the leadership and international space.

Wholly, I have a diverse range of expertise spanning engineering, policy, and finance. I am specifically well-versed in obtaining entry to top scholarships including: - UK-US Fulbright Postgraduate Award - Royal Academy of Engineering: Engineering Leaders Scholarship - UK Navel, Engineering, Science & Technology Scholarship (UKNEST) - IET Scholarships & Travel Awards - PEO International Peace Fellowship - British Universities of North America Club (BUNAC) Scholarship - UK Electronic Skills Foundation (UKESF) Scholarship Hence, I am able to help advise applicants on the key qualities required to differentiate themselves in an ever-competitive pool. I have further grounding in also producing other application materials including presentations, videos and digital portfolios.

I've received several top awards and scholarships including the US Senate Youth Program, Bank of America Student Leaders Program, Gold Presidential Volunteer Award, and more. In high school, I gained admission to Harvard via Restrictive Early Action along with several merit based scholarship at schools like UNC Chapel Hill, Boston College, USC, and Vanderbilt.

As a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship in 2017 (one of 12 selected from the states of Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts), I know how stressful and opaque the application process can be. When I got to the interview, it was clear to me that the 6 Harvard students who had been selected had all received substantial preparation support from Harvard and from their own personal network (including strategies for the notorious Cocktail Reception!) that other students like me were not afforded. This has motivated me to help others on this platform to level the playing field. Let me help you take your best shot - after all, you only get one chance at it.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in education and mentorship, I am passionate about helping students secure prestigious scholarships and fellowships. As a former high school teacher with Teach For America, I designed and implemented a school-wide ACT prep curriculum that significantly improved student scores and led to over $170,000,000 in scholarships for my students. My experience extends to mentoring at Microsoft, where I assist founders in validating business ideas and accelerating growth. As an F.C. Austin Scholar at Kellogg School of Management, I understand the intricacies of competitive applications and am eager to help you navigate your path to success. Let's work together to unlock your potential and achieve your academic and professional goals!
