Welcome! I am a current medical student at the California University of Science and Medicine and a UCLA graduate in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology with a passion for helping students successfully navigate the college admissions process, especially the UC-to-UC transfer pathway. I personally transferred from UC Riverside to UCLA, so I understand firsthand how challenging and confusing this process can be. I do not just teach theory. I share the exact strategies, insights, and lessons I used to make a successful transfer, from building a strong academic narrative to positioning your experiences effectively. My goal is to help you craft a compelling, authentic application that highlights your strengths, growth, and long-term aspirations. If you are aiming for a competitive UC transfer and want guidance from someone who has done it, let’s work together to make your college goals a reality.

Hi! So nice to meet you. I bring a unique perspective to admissions coaching and crafting applications, having attended Harvard for my undergrad and now attending Oxford for 2 Masters degrees in public policy and pharmacology. I’m also a US Rhodes Scholar from Chicago, IL so am happy to chat about post-college fellowship life and application strategy as well. After my time at Oxford, I’ll be attending medical school so can help you with MCAT prep and medical school essays/interviews too! Happy to be flexible with you. Extracurricularly, as a co-founder of Project Cascade and a Board Director at Raise Uganda Now, I have honed my skills in leadership and mentorship, which I apply to help students navigate the complex application process to college, medical school, or competitive fellowships. My experience as a researcher at the Broad Institute and a guest lecturer in infectious disease modeling further enriches my ability to guide students in crafting compelling narratives that highlight their unique strengths and aspirations. Having been a college consultant, MCAT tutor, and chemistry teaching assistant for years now, I am passionate about helping you achieve your academic/professional dreams. So excited to work with you!

As someone who has navigated competitive academic spaces myself, I understand firsthand how overwhelming and personal the college application process can feel. I’ve spent years refining my own writing for high-stakes applications, including medical school, and I’ve helped peers and students clarify their stories, strengthen their essays, and present themselves with confidence. Through my experience in education and mentoring, I’ve learned how to break down complex processes into manageable steps while keeping each student’s individuality at the center. I approach coaching with honesty, strategy, and empathy—helping students not just build strong applications, but better understand their own goals and strengths. My aim is to be both a thoughtful editor and a steady guide throughout a process that can feel intimidating, but should ultimately be empowering.

Hi there! I'm Vania, a current student at Stanford University, also admitted to Oxford University. Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of guiding ambitious international students to acceptance at elite institutions, including Columbia University, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and several of the Top 5 U.K. universities. My journey isn’t just about grades and acceptance letters; it’s about discovering your one-of-a-kind voice. Drawing on my own experiences—and supported by a track record of coaching students to success—I help applicants uncover personal stories that resonate deeply with admissions readers. We dig beyond the resume to find those authentic moments—maybe a small everyday experience or a deeply reflective insight—that become the compelling centerpiece of your application. This approach reflects what top coaches emphasize: essays that offer heartfelt insight, not just bullet-point achievements. Together, we'll craft essays that don’t just tell your story—they invite the reader into your world. Expect thoughtful brainstorming, rigorous revisions, and feedback that pushes your narrative to shine. You’re not just applying—you’re leaving an impression, and I’m here to make sure it's a memorable one.
