Want a professional entertainer who can see right into the heart of who you are and make applying to college actually fun and personally transformational? I am a union actor (SAG-AFTRA) who works in film and television and has privately tutored, taught for the Palo Alto Unified School District, and worked as an academic success coach and an essay editor and college admissions counselor for two prominent San Francisco Bay Area educational consulting companies. I’m also an avid weightlifter (obsessed with my gym), devoted reader (100+ books/year), and debuted my writing on air at NPR and onscreen at Cannes. My students have gotten into top schools including Stanford, Princeton, Yale, U Penn, Cornell, Duke, Rice, Amherst, Middlebury, Swarthmore, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, Case Western, Georgetown, St. Andrews, King’s College London, Reed, Oberlin, Vassar, Vanderbilt, Emory, Wellesley, Bard, Occidental, Northwestern, Northeastern, Boston University, University of Michigan, University of Washington, University of Texas Austin, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UCLA, UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, New York University (Stern and Tisch), the University of Chicago, and many, many more. They have majored in the humanities (sociology, psychology, political science, history), the sciences (biology, engineering, computer science), and the arts (drama, dance, music, visual art). The best wins are those applicants who don’t fit the steep statistics for the school but through our work together are able to cultivate curricular and extracurricular wins and write fantastic essays that garner the most desired acceptance letters.
