College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Going to the Air Force Academy was the best decision of my life. Because I went to school there, I earned my master's degree from Harvard (for free), got a job at one of the best places to work (Bain), and even met my wife. After it gave me so much, I wanted to give back to the Academy by serving as an admissions support officer. In this position, I mentored and evaluated 5 applicants, learning exactly what Service Academies look for in potential candidates. The application process is complex and intimidating, but, I'm ready to support you at every step. Service Academies aren't for everyone, but they are truly life-changing. If you're ready to work hard, I'm excited to help you earn your acceptance.

As a former Division 1 college tennis player and international student, I know the college admissions process can feel overwhelming — especially if you're trying to balance academics, leadership, and athletics. I went through it all as an Australian navigating the U.S. college system, ultimately earning a spot at a top academic and athletic institution. I coach students who want to stand out — not just check boxes. Whether you’re a recruited athlete, an international applicant, or just trying to figure out how to craft a compelling story, I’ll help you cut through the noise and show up authentically and strategically. I’ve helped students get into top schools across the U.S., and I bring a balance of tough love, real feedback, and honest support throughout the journey.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a college admissions coach with a robust background in education and career development, having supported 100+ students through every stage of the application process.

I also consult for one of the leading admissions firms in the country, keeping my coaching aligned with the latest best practices in the field. My experience includes leading multicultural recruitment initiatives and building partnerships with organizations like The Posse Foundation to expand access and equity in higher education.

For over 20 years, I have helped students navigate the college admissions process with direction and confidence — especially when applying to BYU as incoming freshmen. With a background in education and a deep commitment to personalized support, I focus on helping each student shine in their own way. The best applications come from a place of authenticity, and I work closely with each student to uncover the experiences, values, and strengths that make their story meaningful. I have reviewed and edited hundreds of application and scholarship essays, offering honest, kind, and constructive feedback to help students express who they are with clarity — and heart. I care deeply about the young people I coach. I bring my best to every session—and I invite students to do the same. Together, we build a strong application that reflects who they truly are, and their potential.

Welcome! I help high school students navigate the college application process with clarity and confidence. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023 and began my career at Cisco, where I worked closely with interns and new team members as they figured out their strengths, interests, and next steps. After spending time in the workforce, I realized I wanted a more people-focused path and decided to make a thoughtful pivot. I’m now preparing to begin a graduate program in Occupational Therapy at Columbia University this fall. Going through that transition gave me a firsthand understanding of how much pressure students feel to “get it right,” and how important it is to remember that college is a starting point, not a final decision. Through my work with interns, along with volunteer experience supporting children and families, I’ve developed a practical, supportive approach to guidance. I focus on helping students break the application process into manageable pieces, clearly communicate who they are, and make choices that feel informed and confident. My goal is to make this process less overwhelming and more productive. I want students to feel supported, understood, and prepared to take their next step — wherever it leads.

I help students win places at leading UK universities through clear strategy and high-quality writing. I am a recent graduate of Durham University (Geography), finishing 4th in my year with a First Class (78), and I went on to complete a Master’s at the University of Cambridge, graduating 11th in my year with a Distinction (76). Because I have moved through the admissions system recently, my guidance is grounded in what selectors are looking for now, not legacy playbooks. I support applicants across the full process, including: Personal statements (structure, narrative, evidence, line-by-line editing); University selection (course fit, entry requirements, competitiveness, strategy); Admissions tests (study plans, question approach, timed practice); Interviews (prep frameworks, mock interviews, feedback, confidence under pressure). If you want a rigorous, modern approach and an application that reads credibly, I can help you build a submission that materially improves your odds.

I am a college admissions coach with a passion for helping students achieve their dreams. With a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University and experience coaching students at top organizations like Crimson Education and ScholarMatch, I have a deep understanding of the college application process. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds, providing guidance on essay writing, interview preparation, and navigating the complexities of financial aid and scholarships. I also hold a certificate in College Counseling from Columbia Teachers College. My goal is to empower students to showcase their unique strengths and experiences to stand out in the competitive admissions landscape. Let's work together to create a personalized plan for your college journey. Reach out to me today!

College admissions can be stressful and confusing - let me help you and your family navigate the process 👇🏾 🎓 I get it: The admissions process was stressful when I was applying and has only gotten more so ever since. With support from my family, mentors, and high school, I was able to navigate the process, securing admission to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Chicago, Amherst, Georgetown, and NYU Abu Dhabi. I ultimately chose Harvard, a decision that changed my life. I want to help others do the same. 📄 Admissions essay review: Since graduating from Harvard, I've had a successful career in consulting and investment advisory, through which I've honed strong written and verbal communication skills, which I then leveraged to succeed in the master's and J.D. process. I am a strong writer and editor, having won several awards for my book-length undergraduate thesis. I can help you communicate your narrative effectively in a rapidly changing college admissions environment. ♟️ Strategy: The U.S. college admissions process is a game of chess, not checkers. Beyond communicating the narrative, I can help you identify the schools and programs that might be a good fit, provide guidance on the early admissions process, and contextualize the financial aid process.

I was accepted to four Ivy League universities and six highly competitive combined Bachelor’s/DDS dental programs. I ultimately chose to attend Stony Brook University on a full scholarship, where I was also admitted to the Honors College. Through this journey, I gained firsthand experience navigating competitive admissions, building a strong application profile, and crafting essays that authentically showcase a student’s strengths and story.

A lot of people will tell you that college admissions is solely a numbers game. That's a lie - and I'm the proof. I came from a working-class background and navigated college admissions without the help of guidance counselors and got into elite colleges. I've helped many soon-to-be-college grads do the same. Here's the insight: what colleges want to know is whether or not you are smart, thoughtful, ambitious, and if you'll fit into their school's mold. Those usually sound like: High GPA, High LSAT, and a ton of extracurricular activities that pad your college resume. But not everybody has those items -- and not everyone needs them to get into great schools. That’s where I come in. I specialize in helping students identify the 'hidden assets' in their background: the grit, the unique perspective, and the authentic voice that standardized tests simply can’t capture. Together, we will craft a narrative that proves you aren’t just another applicant with good grades, but a future leader who adds distinct value to their campus. My goal is to help you translate your life experiences into a story that admissions officers can't ignore, turning your unique background into your biggest competitive advantage.
