College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

I worked directly with 50 scholars from under-resourced backgrounds to support their college application process through identifying goals, advising scholars through the application and financial aid process, discussing needs and wants in their institutions, and distilling a list of institutions that provide a good “fit” to which they should apply. 98% of students were admitted to a “most competitive college” as identified by Barron’s. 69% were admitted to at least one Ivy League institution, MIT, or Stanford.

I am a graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA) and Princeton University, and closely worked with the admissions team on crafting an overall admissions strategy. I served as the Co-Chief Admissions Ambassador at HBS, and was involved in meeting with applicants and answering questions. I also assisted with putting together The Harbus' admissions guide, which has a collection of essays from successful applicants. I have also given tours at the School of Engineering at Princeton. I'm happy to assist with business school or college applications and strategies to maximize your admission chances.

As a McGill University alumnus who was also admitted to institutions like the University of Chicago, Columbia University, and the University of Toronto, I am passionate about helping driven and diverse candidates navigate their University application journeys and beyond! Having gone through this process myself, I’ve gained valuable tools and insights to craft compelling, authentic applications that speak to admissions teams.

I've worked with students across 6 admissions cycles to help them gain admission to some of the top universities in the country, including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and UC Berkeley, and many have received full rides. I hold an MBA from UCLA, a Certificate in College Counseling from UCSD, and a bachelor's from Wellesley College.

I transferred to Brown University as an international student (one of less than 10 in my 150+ transfer cohort) in my junior year (from the American University of Sharjah), so I have a ton of expertise in what it takes to get into elite colleges as an international. Was also accepted or waitlisted at Penn, Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, Barnard and Emory. Whether you need help with your application strategy, essays, or interview prep, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Reach out to start your journey to success! As a Teaching Assistant and Mentor at Brown University, I have a proven track record of helping students excel in their academic and entrepreneurial pursuits.

Hello! One of my guiding principles in life is the transformative power of education. As a first-generation American, I've seen firsthand the power that a quality education has to improve one's station in life. My coaching philosophy is holistic - I've helped students with everything from improving their SAT scores to crafting a powerful narrative to ensuring they are applying to schools that are the right "fit" for them. I draw on my own college experience, my past clients' process, and my time as a Harvard alumni admissions interviewer to inform your admissions journey. Additionally, my childhood in a multilingual household and my experience working overseas makes me uniquely positioned to help students who studied outside of the US or for whom English is not a native language.
