College Admissions Coaches

With six years of hands-on experience as a BYU admissions application reader and admissions counselor, I bring insider knowledge of what truly makes an application great. I've evaluated hundreds of applications, so I’ve seen firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to essays, activities, and overall presentation. I know this process can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to help students tell their story in a way that’s honest, impressive, and true to who they are!

As a first-generation, low-income community college transfer who successfully navigated the path to UC Berkeley, I understand the challenges and opportunities of pursuing higher education from a unique perspective. My journey is proof that with the right guidance, perseverance, and strategy, achieving admission to prestigious universities is possible, regardless of background. At Berkeley, I’ve excelled academically graduating Summa Cum Laude while actively engaging in leadership roles, such as Debate Captain, Vice President of an exclusive tech consulting club, and Student Government Director, where I’ve mentored peers, coordinated scholarship funds, and fostered inclusivity. My experience extends beyond academics to professional roles in top organizations like Adobe and Intel, where I’ve honed goal-setting, problem-solving, and strategic planning skills. I specialize in helping students craft compelling personal statements, navigate the application process, and unlock their potential to stand out in competitive applicant pools. Whether you’re transferring, applying to your dream school, or seeking advice on how to balance academics with leadership opportunities, I’m here to help you succeed!

Welcome to my profile! As a magna cum laude graduate from Brown University and a current J.D. candidate at Stanford Law School, I bring a wealth of academic excellence and leadership experience to my coaching. My background includes serving as editor-in-chief of the Brown Journal of World Affairs and holding editorial roles in prestigious law journals at Stanford. I have a deep understanding of what top universities seek in applicants and am passionate about helping students craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths.

I was accepted into two Ivy League universities (Yale and Harvard) as well as other top-tier colleges. I also graduated as a salutatorian at my high school out of a class of 700+ students. I love the process of writing and tailoring each student's unique life experiences and personality to the style of questions asked in college applications.

I have experience studying at five universities in 4 European countries during my BA. My alma mater is Bard College Berlin, which has offered me full university funding. Therefore, I am well-acquainted with the college admission procedures.

With over two decades of experience in higher education admissions and enrollment management, I bring a deep understanding of the undergraduate admissions landscape. I’ve successfully guided students through the complex college application process, offering support in identifying best-fit schools, crafting compelling personal statements, and navigating financial aid options. My professional background includes leadership roles in admissions offices at various colleges, giving me an insider’s perspective on what institutions are looking for in applicants and how students can present their unique strengths with clarity and confidence. As a first-generation graduate student and the only member of my family to earn a doctorate, I’m especially attuned to the challenges faced by students who are navigating this process without prior guidance or support. I combine strategic insight with empathetic, individualized coaching—helping students and families reduce stress, stay organized, and move forward with purpose. Whether working with students from competitive high schools or those with nontraditional paths, I aim to empower them to tell their story authentically and make informed choices about their future.

Why am I your ideal college admissions coach? My journey in education, from transforming test prep in Singapore and Shanghai to founding and leading my very own test-prep company, Global Scholars Institute in New York, has been driven by a passion for unlocking student potential. My expertise isn't just in guiding students to Ivy League and top-tier universities (Harvard, Penn, Yale, MIT, among others!)—though my track record there is unmatched—it's in identifying and nurturing the unique strengths of each student to help them find their perfect educational match, anywhere in the world. Having graduated with honors from NYU and getting my MBA from Columbia Business School I bring a rich understanding of the academic landscape. But beyond credentials, it's my personalized approach and global perspective that set me apart. I've helped students from diverse backgrounds gain admission to institutions that best fit their aspirations, from the most elite universities to hidden gems that offer the perfect environment for them to flourish. Choosing me as your coach means partnering with someone who sees your unique potential and knows how to navigate the path to your dream school.

As a full-tuition scholar at Northeastern University, I'm able to help candidates navigate their way through undergraduate admissions with a focus on scholarships and financial aid.

I am passionate about empowering individuals through career coaching, particularly international students navigating the application process to universities in the USA. With a proven track record, I have helped numerous students edit their college essays and Common App essays, ensuring they effectively showcase their unique stories and capabilities. My approach is personalized and supportive, aiming to build confidence and clarity in each student's application journey.

Welcome to my profile! I'm a recent Boston College grad ('24), majoring in management with concentrations in Accounting & Finance. Having recently navigated the college admissions process, I'm very familiar with what's required to write strong essays (common app + supplementals), choose and prepare the right recommenders, and to help you submit compelling applications to top business / liberal arts programs. I'm also well-equipped to work with younger high school students in developing their profile as young leaders - I served as my high school's student body president and captained three varsity sports in my junior and senior years. Whether you're looking to build your overall profile or polish your applications to top schools, I'm here to help!
