As a college application coach, I help you understand your singularity and authenticity and assist in crafting that through storytelling. I hold a degree from Harvard College and have successfully navigated the competitive application process, allowing me to empathize with and effectively advise my clients. My familiarity with various academic disciplines and extracurricular activities enables me to help students craft a well-rounded and compelling application that showcases their unique strengths and passions.

As a recent grad from the University of Virginia, and a former transfer student myself, I know how to navigate the admissions process well. Applying to college not only once but twice has given me a unique perspective on what schools look for and especially how to maximize your chances as a transfer student. I also led the transfer student organization while at UVA and was able to meet and learn from many others who had their own unique experiences and paths to acceptance. Everyone deserves a second shot and I would love to help you reach your goals!

Storytelling has been a throughline of my personal and academic pursuits. With over 5 years of professional writing experience, my unique background in journalism and law equips me with the skills to help you craft a compelling narrative that stands out. After three years as a journalist at HuffPost, I'm now a J.D. Candidate at Columbia Law School — and hope to serve as a resource for those looking to strengthen their writing skills. I attended undergrad at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Morehead-Cain Scholar, a recipient of the nation's first full-ride merit scholarship at the first public university in the U.S. Navigating several rigorous application and interview processes, I also gained admission into Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, the University of Michigan and other institutions. At Carolina, I earned my degree in Media & Journalism and a minor in Hispanic Studies, honing my communication skills and freelancing professionally as a college junior. In addition to interning at various outlets such as Radiolab, the TODAY Show, and the Los Angeles Times, I have written for Teen Vogue, Allure, NBC, ESSENCE, and many other publications. Now, I aim to leverage my experiences to explore law at the intersection of media and entertainment. Whether editing personal statements, refining resumes, or offering interview preparation, I want to impart my skills to students and prospective applicants trying to convey what *their* stories are.

I graduated from Harvard with the John Harvard Scholarship (top 5% GPA), a major in Integrative Biology, and a minor in Computer Science. I have over 6 years of experience working as a full-time tutor for the ACT, SAT, and SSAT. I have also worked as a college essay consultant for the past two years. I have worked with over ten clients by giving interviews and assisting with college essays. Out of the five clients I worked with during this admissions cycle, four received interviews at Harvard. On average, my students have enjoyed improvements of anywhere between 150-250 points on the SAT. I know how to teach the Writing sections so that you will receive a perfect score. Two of my students have increased their scores from 600-800 in this section, and most of my students end my program scoring perfectly on the writing section especially. My ACT tutoring prep follows similar statistics. In the two tutoring companies I have worked for in the past, I was promoted to the highest tutoring status. I tutor full-time, and I am ready to help you reach the score of your dreams.

I've recently graduated from UT Austin with a degree in Management Information Systems and Finance, and I've got a real passion for helping others succeed. Throughout my time in college, I've been coaching younger classmates and even guiding my own sister through the college admissions process. It's been incredibly rewarding to see them thrive under my guidance. Currently, I'm working at Visa in financial technology as an Associate Product Manager, where I'm not only honing my problem-solving and leadership skills but also assisting with recruiting and offering personal finance advice. I genuinely believe that my combination of academic knowledge, coaching experience, and real-world expertise makes me a great fit for a college coaching role. I'm eager to continue empowering students to reach their full potential academically and professionally.

Welcome! I’m Mike, a professional admissions coach (Ex-Trinity Admissions) here to help you navigate every stage of the college application process. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel, but you don’t have to go it alone. When I applied to college, I faced fierce competition while striving for academic excellence, securing scholarships, and balancing extracurricular commitments. Along the way, I not only learned how to craft a compelling application but also how to adapt under pressure—a skill I instill in my students as they navigate their own challenges. Later, while working in admissions at Trinity College, I gained firsthand insight into how applications are reviewed, what makes an applicant stand out, and how decisions are made behind the scenes. I also saw how non-traditional predictors of success—like resilience, leadership, and personal growth—can make all the difference in a competitive application. As a seasoned mentor, I know what truly makes an applicant shine—not just on paper, but in the minds of admissions committees. My coaching is structured, results-driven, and deeply personalized. Whether you’re a high school student exploring your options, a junior or senior preparing your application, or a transfer student looking for the right fit, I’ll meet you where you are and help you take the next steps in your journey. By identifying your unique strengths and aspirations, we’ll craft a winning strategy that allows you to progress while maintaining wellness amidst academic stress. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s build your path to college together—I’d love to help you succeed!
