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.

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.
