College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I wasn’t the typical profile for Carnegie Mellon University’s undergraduate class. With a 3.5 GPA and limited extracurricular involvement because I was supporting my mother at home, I assumed top schools were out of reach. What I underestimated was the power of a compelling narrative. Despite my lower GPA, I became a QuestBridge Scholar, earned a full ride to College of William & Mary and significant scholarships from University of Notre Dame and University of Virginia, and was admitted as a Science and Humanities Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University. Since then, I've helped students of different backgrounds get into their dream schools by crafting an application that highlights their strengths and mitigates their weaknesses. Whether you're looking for an extra set of eyes or to start from scratch, I'm happy to help!

Now a T-14 law student, I graduated with my BA summa cum laude in just 3 years. I am ready to meet students where they are, and find a school that is the perfect fit for them in terms of academics, culture, extracurriculars, location, and scholarship.

I graduated from Harvard with the John Harvard Scholarship (top 5% GPA), a major in Integrative Biology, and a minor in Computer Science. I have over 6 years of experience working as a full-time tutor for the ACT, SAT, and SSAT. I have also worked as a college essay consultant for the past two years. I have worked with over ten clients by giving interviews and assisting with college essays. Out of the five clients I worked with during this admissions cycle, four received interviews at Harvard. On average, my students have enjoyed improvements of anywhere between 150-250 points on the SAT. I know how to teach the Writing sections so that you will receive a perfect score. Two of my students have increased their scores from 600-800 in this section, and most of my students end my program scoring perfectly on the writing section especially. My ACT tutoring prep follows similar statistics. In the two tutoring companies I have worked for in the past, I was promoted to the highest tutoring status. I tutor full-time, and I am ready to help you reach the score of your dreams.

How does a student with a 3.5 GPA make it to the top of the waitlist of a #1 program while those with higher GPAs were rejected? How does a student rejected from Yale REA receive multiple offers from top schools in the RD round and receive personal notes from Penn and Johns Hopkins admissions officers? How do other students get into multiple Ivy Leagues and have them offer to fly them to visit campus? They trust me to help them tell their stories. I help students get an edge in college admissions, college essays (Common App and supplementals), and career navigation while finding peace and joy. With 10+ years of experience in education my students achieve outstanding results and my knowledge, skills, and abilities make me one of the most sought after counselors on the market. Having trained with admissions directors from Stanford and worked directly with admissions officers from Columbia, Duke, UVA, and UMD, I have strong insights into how admissions decisions are made. As an Integral Coach®, I am trained to work with you in an ethical and empowering way. I have also coached directors and Presidents in higher education, which gives me further insight into colleges' priorities. My writing has also been widely recognized. The Duke English Director of Undergraduate Studies called my work "an academic achievement," and distinguished Harvard professors have placed my writing in the Top 4%. I have also been published on the Gates Foundation website and have been mentioned multiple times by a 4x #1 NYT Bestselling Author Marianne Williamson for my writing and insights into the human condition.
