As an Admissions Counselor, I provided guidance to hundreds of prospective students regarding admissions and academic success. This experience has afforded me a profound comprehension of the admissions process, encompassing universities' criteria for applicant evaluation, strategies for crafting compelling applications, and the academic routes that pave the way to achievement. In addition, my responsibilities involved advising potential students on admissions and academic achievement, and I also actively contributed to the admissions decision-making process, enriching my understanding of this critical aspect.

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.

10 years ago I was going through the college application process and felt entirely alone. No one in my family had gone through the daunting process and my school didn't have the resources to support me in elite college applications. Fortunately, I found Questbridge and was able to highlight my story to receive admission to Rice University (and various other schools). At Rice, I served on the Admissions Committee and conducted 50+ Admissions interviews, working directly with their team to identify top candidates for Rice.
