I graduated from Brown University in 2020 magma cum laude with a B.A. in Political Science, with honors; I am also a member of the Pi Sigma Alpha honors society. I applied early decision to Brown in 2016, and was accepted. I received the Philo Sherman Bennet Thesis Prize for my published research entitled “Capturing the White Women Vote: An Analysis of Characteristic Determinants and Political Messaging." I was a research assistant for Professor Wendy Schiller and published two pieces with her: Cambridge University Press, Inequality Across State Lines: How Policymakers Have Failed Domestic Violence Victims in the United States (2023) and American Political Science Association: “Inequality in Human Security: Gun Ownership & Domestic Violence” (2018). I was the Interviews Director for the Brown Political Review and the Site Leader for Brown Elementary Afterschool Mentoring; through my volunteer work, I was awarded the Bonnor Community Fellowship.

While I was in college, I worked for two years as a Student Outreach Mentor for GEAR UP, a federally-funded program designed to help students prepare for college. In this role, I mentored students 1:1 to help them complete the FAFSA, prepare for the ACT/SAT, and apply for college and scholarships. Personally, I've received over $150,000 worth of scholarships for undergraduate and grad school, and I can help with identifying opportunities, crafting your story, writing essays, and highlighting other accomplishments.

Hi! I’m Elana—a recent Vanderbilt grad with a degree in Computer Science and Philosophy. I know firsthand how overwhelming the college application process can feel.

My philosophy is simple: every student has a story worth telling, and when you approach your application with intention and authenticity, you’ll discover the school where you truly belong.

I’m qualified to guide students through the college admissions process because I’ve been through it at the highest levels of success myself. I earned admission to Brown University with a likely letter, which reflects not only strong academics but also a well-rounded application that stood out among a competitive pool. In addition, I was awarded the Banneker/Key Scholarship at the University of Maryland — the school’s most prestigious full-ride merit scholarship given to only a small number of top applicants. On top of that, I received the Gates Millennium Scholarship, a nationally competitive and prestigious award that recognizes outstanding leadership, academic excellence, and community service. These achievements show that I understand how to craft an application that resonates with admissions committees and scholarship boards alike. I can help students identify and showcase their strengths, position themselves competitively, and maximize opportunities for both admission and funding.

For over 10 years, I have been working with students to help them improve upon their applications to get into their dream colleges. I have experience with essay editing, application curation, interview practice, and more. It is my honor to get to help you reach for the college of your dreams!
