College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

As a former Harvard Admissions Officer, Berkeley Application Reader, College Counselor (at a top 5 independent school in the US), and a Coca-Cola Scholar Application Reader, I have read 1000s of applications and helped 100s of students through the admissions process.

I’m an MIT alum (Class of 2014), was also accepted to Harvard, and previously served as an interviewer for MIT undergraduate admissions. Beyond admissions strategy, I understand firsthand the academic intensity, pressure, and identity shifts that come with entering highly competitive environments. As a certified coach (CPCC, ACC) with a background in strategy consulting, I support students not just in presenting themselves authentically during admissions, but also in building confidence, self-awareness, and resilience as they transition into college. My approach helps students not only stand out in the interview but also clarify what motivates them, manage pressure and expectations, and step into the next chapter with intention rather than fear.

With three decades of experience as a College Admissions Advisor and Founder of Cambridge Prep, I've successfully guided hundreds of high school students and their families through the college admissions process. My highly personalized essay writing support, expert guidance throughout the process and proprietary test prep materials have helped hundreds of clients gain acceptances to the colleges of their choice, regularly including elite institutions like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Dartmouth, University of Chicago, Boston College and many more. My knack for college admissions advising is rooted in my own journey. After earning a Christian A. Herter Memorial Scholarship, I gained admission to every elite university I applied to, choosing Harvard University to study Social Anthropology and Economics. Upon graduating with honors, I realized my passion for helping others achieve their college dreams by bringing a holistic, humanistic perspective to the college admissions journey. Whether you're just beginning the process or need a final review, whether you experience learning differences or are an exceptional achiever, I'm here to support you in recognizing your college dreams and turning them into reality.

I grew up in Toronto, Canada and was admitted to Stanford, MIT, Wharton, and Dartmouth — but what I remember most about that process isn't the results. It's that it was the first time I was really forced to understand who I was, what I'd been drawn to, and why. That clarity is what made my applications compelling. It's also what I help every client find first. I'm now a Stanford alum and current Stanford MBA student, a Stanford undergraduate interviewer (I've conducted over 15 interviews of prospective undergrads and have genuine insight into what the school looks for beyond grades and test scores) and a former Stanford tour guide. But my approach to college admissions coaching goes beyond Stanford. I believe the application process, done right, is one of the most valuable exercises in self-reflection you'll do at that stage of your life. The goal isn't simply to craft a story for admissions committees — it's to uncover what really matters to you, what you've been drawn to, and what kind of place will be the right home for the next four years. A compelling application is the byproduct of that clarity, not the other way around. As an international student who navigated the US college application system from scratch, I can also help students outside the US understand how to position themselves, tell their story across cultural contexts, and identify schools that are genuinely the right fit for them.

With over two decades of experience as a Senior Admissions Consultant and Director, I have happily guided students to gain admission to their dream colleges. My background as a professional journalist and award-winning creative writer allows me to help clients craft compelling narratives that captivate admissions committees. I specialize in identifying and highlighting the unique stories that set applicants apart, ensuring their applications stand out. As a parent, you want someone who will guide and encourage your child to deliver the best possible work they can, and who understands the level of stress they are dealing with at this stage in their life. Let's start with a conversation, to see what you and your young applicant are looking for, and how I can be of service. Schedule a free intro session today!

I help students applying to CS, engineering, and tech-adjacent undergraduate programs build applications that show both intellectual curiosity and real-world direction. My perspective comes from a technical master's degree from Nanyang Technological University and 15+ years in global tech, product, and operations roles at Amazon, Rakuten, and FedEx. I work with students and families on school list strategy, activity and project positioning, personal statements, supplemental essays, resume or activities lists, recommendation strategy, and interview prep. I am especially useful when a student has coding projects, robotics or research, competitions, startups, internships, or cross-cultural experience but needs help turning that raw material into a coherent admissions story. I coach in English, Japanese, and Chinese and can support applicants targeting universities in the US, UK, and Asia.
