College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

Great college essays aren't written — they're uncovered. As an Ivy League graduate who went on to build a career in finance, I know firsthand what it means to communicate with clarity, precision, and impact. I bring that same discipline to every essay I help craft. My approach starts with you: your story, your motivations, and who you are at your core. From there, we work together to craft a personal statement that is genuinely, unmistakably you — the kind of essay admissions officers remember long after they've closed the file. For supplemental essays and school-specific questions, I bring that same deep listening combined with thorough research into each institution — their values, their culture, and the kind of students they're looking to welcome. I also draw on a real network of current students and admitted applicants to give you an inside edge that goes beyond what any website can offer. Whether you need a partner from the very first brainstorm all the way through final submission, or simply a sharp second set of eyes on a draft, I'm here for whatever stage of the journey you're in.

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.

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.
