I have a wealth of experience and achievements that uniquely qualify me to be an outstanding coach for students aspiring to enter undergraduate schools. As a graduate of the University of Chicago, I not only completed my studies with distinction but also received recognition as the top female student. This accomplishment speaks to my commitment to academic excellence and sets me apart as a role model for aspiring students. Furthermore, I was awarded scholarships and granted admission to renowned institutions, including Berkeley and other Ivy League schools. These accomplishments serve as concrete examples of the paths that potential clients themselves may aspire to walk, fostering trust and inspiration. Beyond my academic achievements, I have a diverse range of experiences that make me an aspirational coach for students. Throughout high school, I balanced my studies with employment in the restaurant industry, displaying a strong work ethic and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously. As the valedictorian of my high school, I self-studied and successfully completed 17 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, demonstrating my self-motivation and intellectual curiosity. Moreover, my leadership roles as the captain of the Speech and Debate team and an officer of the Model United Nations (MUN) team showcase my effective communication and teamwork skills, which are invaluable assets for navigating the college admissions process. In addition to my accomplishments, I have a unique perspective on the college admissions process. I have experienced the challenges of mental health struggles firsthand, having been hospitalized at multiple points during my educational journey. This personal journey allows me to empathize with the anxieties and pressures that students face during this crucial time. I underwent a transformative period of self-reflection and evaluation in college, ultimately emerging with a clearer understanding of my own purposes and goals. I am passionate about helping others embark on their college journeys with a similar perspective, guiding them to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their aspirations. By sharing my experiences and resources, I aim to make college admissions more accessible and empower students to navigate this process successfully. By incorporating specific examples of achievements, highlighting unique experiences, and sharing aspirational stories, I aim to build trust and resonate with potential clients seeking guidance in their quest to enter undergraduate schools.

I received multiple scholarships for every year of my undergraduate experience, and am passionate about making college accessible to students from all backgrounds. Applying to college can be daunting, but as a team we can find the right place for you! Having worked on high education projects for Bain & Company, as an education policy consultant at the Gates Foundation, and as an ESL teacher for years I have a holistic view of the high education sector and what it takes to position yourself as a successful applicant.

While I was preparing for my university applications, I recognized that one of the most important components of the application is the essay and having a hook in extracurricular activities. It's not the GPA/SAT score like many believe (which in actuality is only a checkbox for the admissions committee). I was able to fully understand how the admissions committee evaluates an application after reading my Stanford application and the admission committee comments on there. Beyond the basics of the application from helping with SAT prep and extracurricular planning, I will focus my time on being able to translate your extracurricular activities into a meaningful essay and supplementals.

As a current Harvard junior studying Neuroscience and Economics, I bring both firsthand experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to stand out in competitive admissions. From publishing research at Boston Children’s Hospital to pitching startups through Harvard Undergraduate Ventures, I’ve navigated rigorous academics while pursuing my passions in science and entrepreneurship. I know how to craft compelling personal stories, balance strong academics with meaningful extracurriculars, and communicate your unique path authentically. My goal is to help students not only get accepted—but to thrive once they’re there. I got into 13/16 colleges I applied to without a high GPA.

Getting accepted to a top university was my dream growing up, so when after being accepted to all the UCs, and eventually attending UC Berkeley, I knew I wanted to help others reach their higher education dreams as well. Since high school, I've taken opportunities to tutor and mentor others and even when I started my career in entertainment, I was an academic tutor, helping students with their grades, test prep, and college applications. With SAT scores and college acceptance becoming increasingly competitive it's important while applying to be confident in oneself and communicate a story that stands out. This is my skill. As a mentor and tutor, my goal has always been to support my students beyond just academics. I work with my students on building sustainable life skills that boosts their confidence and helps them "unpack" their story. Then, as a coach, I help my students with communicating their story, knowing in particular what schools are looking for. I've thoroughly enjoyed helping my clients reach their academic goals and more importantly, build their confidence so they can succeed in all endeavors.

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.

As a graduate of Harvard Business School and Columbia University, I bring a distinctive, well-rounded perspective to college admissions coaching. Throughout my own academic journey, I’ve had the privilege of working with top admissions advisors—first at Milton Academy, one of New England’s leading boarding schools, and later with an elite business school admissions coach. I’m excited to pass on the valuable insights I’ve gained from these experiences to help you navigate your own path. I’ve successfully guided students through the college application process, with three earning admission to their top-choice schools—including highly selective institutions like Wellesley (15% acceptance rate) and Pomona College (7% acceptance rate). These experiences have equipped me with the tools to help you craft a compelling and differentiated application. I’m passionate about helping students uncover their unique interests and strengths, and I offer personalized strategies to demystify the admissions process. Let’s work together to bring your story to life and help your application stand out.
