Hello and welcome to my profile! With a Bachelor's degree in History of Science & Computer Science from Harvard University. I bring a strong academic foundation to my coaching. My experience as a College Advisor with Ron Brown and as a Peer Tutor at Harvard has equipped me with the skills to guide students through the college admissions process.

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!

I'm Bryan, a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a double major in International Relations and Latin American & Latino Studies. As a first-generation Latino college graduate, I learned to navigate the college admissions process by myself and am passionate about helping others through this intimidating process. I have guided many mentees and peers through the college admissions process through reviewing college essays, giving guidance on test prep time management, crafting narrative as a prospective applicant, developing leadership skills, and preparing for admissions interviews. These students have been accepted to an array of colleges including UPenn, Stanford, Harvard, Drexel, and Claremont McKenna. As a coach, I believe a holistic approach across leadership skills, academic excellence, and character are critical to standing out in the competitive college admissions process. I take the time to understand where the student is in their admissions process to develop a baseline and collaborate to understand pain points in the process and curate a plan to best prepare for the college admissions process. After preparation I am here to assist as developments come up, providing guidance on selecting a school, how to navigate financial packages, and other stressful decisions in the process. I am here to help demystify the college admissions process and make your life easier!

The way we are taught to write in school is wrong. You know the style—boring, wordy, and utterly forgettable! It takes hours to write, and the end product is gray wallpaper, which lacks story and blends in to every other essay. That won't get you where you want to go...unless as an academic you're publishing in a scientific journal that no one will ever read. I am a highly trained writer. I graduated in PR/Journalism, was named #1 senior in Journalism, and was a writer for 2 years for PR and Marketing departments through school. My writing helped me secure scholarships, internships, and a job for one of the largest PR agencies in the world. I thought I knew how to write. I was wrong. Years later, I was Global Brand Manager at P&G leading a $2B brand. In this $85B company, multi-million dollar decisions were made based on written one-pagers. Clear and compelling writing was vital. They taught, "Writing = Thinking. If you can't write clearly, you haven't thought clearly." I learned how to write for impact and do it in a fraction of the time. If you are applying for college admission, a specific program, or internship, I can help you to nail the writing, stand out, and secure your place.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a Duke University graduate (Public Policy major, History minor) with a deep love for storytelling, mentorship, and helping students present their best, most authentic selves on paper. My background—ranging from working as a paralegal to my current studies at NYU School of Law—has sharpened my ability to listen closely, ask the right questions, and translate complex experiences into clear, persuasive writing. I’ve worked with several students through the college admissions process, working one-on-one to uncover their unique voices, shape compelling personal narratives, and build cohesive, standout applications. Students I work with value my collaborative, supportive approach and my attention to detail—especially when it comes to essays that feel genuine, confident, and polished. I’d love to partner with you to tell your story in a way that feels true to you and compelling to admissions officers. Reach out anytime to chat about your goals and how I can help you get there.
