I’m a Harvard College graduate, Harvard MBA, venture capital investor, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. I’ve spent my career in highly selective environments, both earning admission to them and evaluating talent within them. I understand what top universities look for beyond grades and test scores. As someone who successfully navigated elite admissions and later assessed high-potential founders and leaders as an investor, I know how decision-makers evaluate potential, leadership, intellectual curiosity, and long-term trajectory. I help ambitious students translate their achievements into compelling, cohesive narratives that stand out in competitive applicant pools. My approach combines strategic positioning, authentic storytelling, and a deep understanding of how top institutions think. If you’re aiming for Ivy League and other top-tier schools, I’m here to help you present your strongest, most differentiated self.

I help students win places at leading UK universities through clear strategy and high-quality writing. I am a recent graduate of Durham University (Geography), finishing 4th in my year with a First Class (78), and I went on to complete a Master’s at the University of Cambridge, graduating 11th in my year with a Distinction (76). Because I have moved through the admissions system recently, my guidance is grounded in what selectors are looking for now, not legacy playbooks. I support applicants across the full process, including: Personal statements (structure, narrative, evidence, line-by-line editing); University selection (course fit, entry requirements, competitiveness, strategy); Admissions tests (study plans, question approach, timed practice); Interviews (prep frameworks, mock interviews, feedback, confidence under pressure). If you want a rigorous, modern approach and an application that reads credibly, I can help you build a submission that materially improves your odds.

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.
