I have a unique blend of experience and skills that make me a very strong admissions consultant. First, I have spent over 20 years in various senior management roles in marketing, product marketing and business development giving me a strong set of marketing and branding skills that are essential for any candidate to stand out. Second, I am a very strong writer and had publications published in various journals. That allows me to help applicants craft a strong, unique, differentiated and very well written story across all of the applications. Third, as a graduate of top schools such as Northwestern and Stanford I have had personal success in getting into top institutions and can speak from experience not just theory. I have also been an undergraduate admissions interviewer for Stanford admissions for 5 years, gaining valuable admissions qualifications experience. Finally I am very customer focused and task driven and always give a 100% effort to make sure my clients get the best results.

Why trust me with your college essay coaching, Common App guidance, alumni networking tips, interview prep, and anything else you could need to brand yourself as the perfect undergraduate applicant?👇 Getting the opportunity to attend Dartmouth was a life-changing experience. Not only did I receive a world-class education, I also made lasting connections in a world that seemed so daunting during the college admissions process — a key part of what helped me land a job at Bain Capital following graduation. As an Early Decision applicant back in the fall of 2018, I brought a unique and thoroughly organized approach to my college essays and interviews. The written and verbal communication skills I honed through my English & Economics degree (and continue to hone through my work as a writing and content marketing consultant) only further my qualifications to help students package their experiences in a way that the college of their dreams will value. After all, crafting a thoughtful college application is the ultimate exercise of personal content marketing. In short, I bring differentiated, branding-oriented insights to the often life-changing process that is applying to college. I look forward to working with you!

Background: I am a graduate of Harvard College, where I majored in Cultural Anthropology and studied Spanish, Korean, and Japanese. As the oldest son of immigrant parents from Japan and Mexico, and the first in my family to graduate from college, I understand the socioeconomic and cultural barriers many students face in pursuing their educational, professional, and personal goals. For over 17 years, I have been dedicated to supporting students and families from all backgrounds in strategically overcoming many of these challenges. During my undergraduate years, I lived and studied abroad in Seoul, South Korea; Bangalore, India; Cape Town, South Africa; and Buenos Aires, Argentina, focusing on sustainable development, urbanization, culture, politics, and history. I have since traveled to 36 countries and 46 U.S. states, broadening my global perspective. While at Harvard, I was actively involved in intramural sports, cultural organizations such as RAZA and Fuerza, and educational non-profits. My passion lies in empowering students to make a meaningful impact in their communities. Track Record: Since 2011, I have worked directly with hundreds of high school students and spoken to thousands more across every continent, helping them navigate the U.S. college admissions process. My advising has led to successful admissions at top institutions, including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago, and many others. I help students find colleges that align with their personal and academic goals, because I believe that a great fit leads to a better college experience and better results. Additionally, I assist students in brainstorming and developing capstone projects that enhance their application profiles and provide comprehensive essay and application revisions. Professional Experience: I worked at the Harvard Admissions Office as an HFAI and UMRP coordinator for four years and continue to interview prospective students as a Harvard alumni interviewer for the Southwest Region of the United States. After graduating, I joined Google in Mountain View, CA, where I focused on applicant resume reviews, interviews, performance evaluations, and various projects across engineering and sales teams. My post-Google experience includes work with non-profits in healthcare, tech, and business, as well as a local Mathnasium center. I would love to learn more about the support you're looking for and how I can help your student succeed. Please feel free to reach out!

I’ve successfully navigated the college admissions process and know what it takes to stand out. I hold four degrees—an MBA from Wharton, a Master of Laws (LLM) from Penn Law, a Master of Public Policy (MPP) from USC, and a BA in Economics from UCSB—and was admitted to Duke, UChicago, Columbia, Yale, Northwestern, NYU, USC, UCLA, Georgetown, and Wharton, among others. Coming from a non-traditional background, I had to craft applications that overcame challenges and highlighted my strengths in a compelling way. I specialize in helping students develop strong personal statements, strategic application narratives, and well-positioned extracurricular profiles to maximize their chances at top schools. Whether you’re aiming for the Ivy League or another highly selective institution, I’ll guide you through every step—from brainstorming essays to interview prep—so you submit an application that truly sets you apart.

I am a rising 3L at Stanford Law School. I love working with students to craft a cohesive, powerful narrative that reflects their accomplishments so they can gain admission to their dream law school or university. I take a holistic approach, taking time to understand my clients' background, personality, and goals. I do not let median GPAs or test scores or admission rates dictate my clients' application strategy or success. I can also guide students on how to discuss their race and ethnicity in our post-affirmative action reality. By closely studying the U.S. Supreme Court decisions Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v UNC overturning affirmative action, I've been able to help my clients discuss their race and ethnicity in ways that college admissions offices can legally consider when reviewing their application. Throughout law school, I have completed 5 internships in the public, private, and non-profit sector including a Big Law internship, two state attorney general internships, a local government internship, and an internship at a leading international non-profit environmental advocacy organization. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Environmental Economics and Policy and a B.A. in Urban Studies. In undergrad, I worked as a research assistant and independent researcher while also serving as president of the Berkeley Urban Studies Student Association. I have coached undergrads through their law school application process and high school students through their college admissions process. I have helped undergrad and high school students get admitted to programs where they had well below-median GPAs and/or standardized test scores.

Welcome to my profile! With a J.D./LL.M. from Duke University School of Law and a B.A. in French and Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I bring a strong academic foundation to my role as a college admissions coach. Over the past several years, I've served as Senior Admissions Counselor at AddedEducation, Strategy Consultant at Crimson Education, and Assistant Director of Recruitment and Admissions for the Chicago Booth Executive MBA program, roles in which I've successfully guided numerous students and professionals through the complexities of highly competitive application processes. My diverse experience also includes project management and business development, further strengthening my strategic planning, mentorship, and leadership skills. I'm passionate about helping students craft compelling applications that authentically highlight their unique strengths and aspirations. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!

Being the daughter of immigrations, oldest of three siblings AND a first generation college student here in the US, you could say that I had a lot of hurdles to jump over when I was applying to undergrad. Having my residency status stacked against me as an international student, I discovered the hard way how difficult getting into a competitive undergrad program could be when you do not have the right tools to help yourself. Since then, I have always made an effort to work with high school students specifically so that I can pay forward everything that I learned. While i was able to figure things out on my own - there was so much struggle that I would not wish on anyone else. Whether you are a citizen or not, I would be happy to help guide you through the undergraduate application process. We can discuss schools to apply too and work on your application and essays together to give you the best chances of getting into the school of your dreams.

I helped clients gain acceptance to top-tier universities, including Cornell, NYU, Brown, UChicago, UPenn, Harvard Business, Claremont McKenna, Amherst, Tufts, Middlebury, Bard, and others. Applying to schools can be overwhelming, but, with the right mentorship, there are ways of making this experience as rewarding as possible. It is, after all, an opportunity to master oneself through writing, all the while becoming better at it.
