Fellowships applications are a delicate balance of trying to be your authentic self while understanding what it is that selection committees want from you. I'm here to help you find that middle ground. I've navigated many selection processes -- successfully and unsuccessfully -- and learned from my selectors about how candidates can shape their narrative to make their selection inevitable (with a little dose of luck). I have particular experience helping students from non-Ivy+ schools who are invested in public service. Now, I'm a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, where I study global health and development economics. I graduated as valedictorian of Claremont McKenna College, where I was also a Truman Scholarship Finalist and held internships at Boston Consulting Group, Evidence Action, the Council on Foreign Relations, Chemonics International (a USAID implementing partner), and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
