Air Force veteran helping nontraditional applicants tell their story
I'm a Yale junior who got here the nontraditional way: after four years in the U.S. Air Force, I was admitted through the Eli Whitney Students Program, Yale's program for students whose path to college wasn't a straight line. Since then, advising people through this process has become the center of my life outside the classroom. As President of the Eli Whitney Student Society, I led the organization representing Yale's 100+ nontraditional undergraduates, advising students one-on-one on applications, essays, and adjusting to a selective college as an older student. Since February 2025, I've also mentored transitioning service members one-on-one through Service to School, working with them on school selection, admissions strategy, and personal statement development. As a student panelist for Yale's Office of Undergraduate Admissions, I answer prospective veteran and nontraditional applicants' questions directly at information sessions and college fairs. My own application process felt almost frictionless, and I know why: I was blessed to have incredible mentors who had done it before me and gave their guidance freely. I coach because I want to be that person for someone else. If you're a veteran, a working adult, or anyone whose road to college had some turns in it, and you're as passionate about furthering your education as I was about mine, I'll help you turn your experience into an application that shows schools exactly who you are.
