As a second-generation college student from a small rural town and public school background, I know firsthand how to stand out in elite college admissions. My journey led to acceptances at some of the nation's most selective institutions, including Stanford, Princeton, Dartmouth, UPenn, Williams, and Emory, where I ultimately attended as a Robert W. Woodruff Scholar – the university's most prestigious merit award providing a full scholarship. What sets my coaching apart is my deep understanding that successful college admissions isn't just about grades and test scores – it's about crafting an authentic and compelling personal narrative. Coming from a rural public school background, I learned how to transform what might seem like limitations into powerful differentiators that caught the attention of admissions officers at both top research universities and liberal arts colleges. I'm passionate about helping students, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds, navigate the complex college admissions landscape. Whether you're aiming for Ivy League universities, elite liberal arts colleges, or selective scholarship programs, I can help you identify and articulate your unique story in a way that resonates with admissions committees. Having successfully walked this path myself, I bring both practical expertise and genuine empathy to help you achieve your college dreams.

College admissions can be incredibly daunting. I remember being in your shoes and wondering what I should write, where I should apply, and what to say during my interviews. Ten years later, I have been through this process several times now to gain admission to college and medical schools. My experience has taught me that it is incredibly important to spend time reflecting on your goals and how your background has helped you formulate them. Only then can you begin to craft a stellar application that will not only stand out to admissions committees, but also stay true to yourself. When done correctly, the process of applying to college should help you better understand what you want out of your education and why. I look forward to working with you closely to answer these questions and distill them into the perfect application. My mentees over the past 10 years have gained admission to great undergraduate universities, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCLA.

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.
