College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

- Admitted to the nation's top public universities, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy - I was a Truman Scholar finalist while at West Point, and spent extensive time working to understand how to formulate and express my personal brand

Welcome! I am currently an MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with highest honors from the Red McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. Professionally, I’ve worked across investment banking, private equity, and strategic finance, partnering with founders, corporate boards, and institutional investors to shape business narratives and navigate complex strategic decisions. I approach admissions the same way investors evaluate opportunities: through leadership, judgment, trajectory — and, most importantly, fit. The strongest applications show not only why you want a school, but why that specific school is positioned to accelerate your goals. I particularly enjoy working with applicants pursuing careers in business or finance, though I help candidates across backgrounds move beyond resume bullets and develop thoughtful, authentic stories about motivation and impact. My focus isn’t just essay polishing; it’s helping you articulate a narrative that explains your past, shows intentionality in the present, and convincingly points to your future — all while remaining true to who you are. I’d be excited to work together.

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a BA in English and Creative Writing from Hamilton College and an MBA from MIT Sloan, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to college admissions coaching. My diverse professional background, including roles at the Department of Energy and TPG's Y Analytics, equips me with the skills to help students craft compelling narratives that stand out in competitive college applications. I have a passion for mentoring and have previously served as an English Teaching Assistant with Fulbright Austria. Let's work together to create an application that truly reflects your potential and sets you on the path to success. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your college admissions journey!

Going to the Air Force Academy was the best decision of my life. Because I went to school there, I earned my master's degree from Harvard (for free), got a job at one of the best places to work (Bain), and even met my wife. After it gave me so much, I wanted to give back to the Academy by serving as an admissions support officer. In this position, I mentored and evaluated 5 applicants, learning exactly what Service Academies look for in potential candidates. The application process is complex and intimidating, but, I'm ready to support you at every step. Service Academies aren't for everyone, but they are truly life-changing. If you're ready to work hard, I'm excited to help you earn your acceptance.

Even though I attended a high school recognized as a college preparatory school, I found it difficult to find access to college counselors, SAT and ACT prep, and information about private institutions outside of the state. Moreover, during my college application cycle, my college counselor highly suggested I keep his college search within a more “reasonable” scope. I spent countless weeks and hours crafting my applications and was accepted into 14 of the 18 universities I applied to. I was the first in his high school to attend Stanford. Thus, I am passionate about guiding students and parents through this process to ensure their success! My greatest strengths as a coach include helping candidates develop and execute a project plan and timeline, identify a list of schools tiered for maximum success and admission reassurance, and highlight their strengths and voice in their essays. Additionally, I am highly skilled in interview preparation, helping students curate a stellar resume, and tailoring essays to fit the expectations for each desirable school choice.

Let's work together to craft a standout application and secure your spot at your dream school!

I've helped clients from 15+ countries land spots at the most prestigious universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. I know what it's like to navigate highly selective admissions and hiring processes as an international applicant, and I'd love to share with you the insights that I used to land spots at Brown, Oxford, Cambridge, and Schwarzman Scholars. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Hi, I'm Alice! I have extensive experience both writing and editing essays and working one-on-one with students as a mentor and in college prep, and would love to help you on your journey preparing your college application. In 2019, I graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and minors in Journalism and Humanistic Studies. My thesis, which was part philosophy and part journalism, was awarded the McCosh Prize for the best undergraduate thesis in any area of philosophy. At Princeton, I did extensive audio journalism, reporting, and art, including illustration and design for the weekly newspaper. I'm now working part-time towards my Master of Public Administration in Sustainability at Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Since graduating, I've lived in both Chicago and New York to work in impact, housing, and community development finance, and spent two years with Crimson Education to help students find a balanced spread of extracurricular activities, create leadership projects, and pursue reading and enrichment studies to suit their particular academic interests. I also serve as a mentor for recent Princeton graduates and current students working in public service, and each year, I interview high school students applying to Princeton as a volunteer for the Alumni Schools Committee. I love working one-on-one with students to help them find and pursue their passions, and I'm skilled at helping others find the narrative thread in their story. I treat others' writing with care; I'm a thorough and supportive editor who is committed to helping you find your voice and tell your story in college applications. Please reach out if you might like to work together this summer!

As an immigrant to the US educated entirely in the public education system, I independently navigated the application and admissions processes for American undergraduate programs (without any coaching!) I applied to twenty universities (Public & Private) and succeeded in being admitted nearly everywhere I applied, including several Ivy League colleges like Brown, Dartmouth, Yale, as well as Stanford. While I was applying to colleges, I was also applying to many scholarships offered by universities and external scholarships, before ultimately deciding to attend Vanderbilt University, where I received a full merit scholarship. During my time at Vanderbilt, I applied to and received various additional scholarships to fund study abroad and international work experiences, including a FLAS fellowship and the Fulbright program (which I declined due to an offer to join the UN). Whether you're refining your strategy for where to apply, preparing applications/essays or prepping for interviews, I look forward to helping you succeed in your academic aspirations and pave your path!

Hello! I’m thrilled at the opportunity to support you on your writing journey. With seven years of experience in government, non-profit, consulting, and technology roles, I have honed my writing skills and developed a passion for helping others succeed. I’ve successfully assisted friends and their siblings with college essays, scholarship applications, and Common App personal statements, leading to numerous acceptances and grants. Additionally, I went through this process myself when I was accepted into Claremont McKenna College in 2015 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 2019. If you think my background and expertise align with your needs, I would love to hear from you!
