College Admissions Coaches

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!

With six years of hands-on experience as a BYU admissions application reader and admissions counselor, I bring insider knowledge of what truly makes an application great. I've evaluated hundreds of applications, so I’ve seen firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to essays, activities, and overall presentation. I know this process can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to help students tell their story in a way that’s honest, impressive, and true to who they are!

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a BCom from the University of British Columbia and extensive experience as a Management Consultant at Monitor Deloitte and Deloitte Consulting, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the college admissions process. My background also includes a role as an Investment Analyst at British Columbia Investment Management Corporation and a Research Assistant at Stanford University Graduate School of Business. I have successfully coached numerous students, helping them navigate the complexities of college applications and secure spots at their dream schools. Whether you need assistance with crafting compelling essays, preparing for interviews, or strategizing your application, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to make your college aspirations a reality!

I’m qualified to support college applicants because I’ve personally navigated the highly selective admissions process with strong results. I was admitted to over 15 top colleges and Ivy League Institutions, including MIT, Brown, Penn, and Cornell—representing a personal admissions success rate of over 90%. Through this experience, I developed a deep understanding of how top colleges evaluate academic rigor, intellectual curiosity, and personal narrative. I now help students apply these same principles to clarify their story, highlight their strengths, and present applications that are authentic, thoughtful, and compelling. What distinguishes my coaching is my focus on storytelling and self-understanding. I help students move beyond resumes and accolades to clearly express their intellectual curiosity, motivation, and personal values. The result is applications that feel authentic, intentional, and aligned—qualities that selective colleges consistently look for.

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.

I was the first in my family to go to college in the United States. I know what it's like to navigate a system with no roadmap — and I know what it takes to stand out. Since then, I've read over 600 personal essays and life stories through my mentorship program and coaching work. I've helped students articulate what makes them unique — not what they think admissions wants to hear. My clients have gone on to land roles at Big Tech, the White House, and top startups. I was Instagram's first hire in Latin America and built my career by learning to tell stories that cut through noise. I bring that same approach to your essays and interviews: find the authentic and cutting-edge story, then make it impossible to ignore.

Experienced with the standard overachiever high school track of clubs, off campus programs, APs, competitions etc. at a top 10 US public high school. Accepted to multiple top institutions and enrolled in University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated with 2 undergraduate degrees. Also coached international Chinese students looking to get into top US colleges / grad programs.

I graduated from Princeton University in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in History and certificate in American Studies. I attended a competitive, public high school and would love to share my experience so I can help you craft your college resume, work through essay prompts, prepare for interviews, and overall, help your application stand out If you're a junior or senior applying to US universities this year, let's chat!

Welcome, bienvenidos, bem-vindos! I graduated with two bachelor's degrees from an Ivy League university (the University of Pennsylvania's Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business), and have served as an alumni interviewer ever since. I can help you with the college application process - anything from positioning your profile to tips and tricks on essay writing to narrowing down which school you'd like to attend. Also, I am trilingual - I'm a native English speaker originally from the United States, but I have lived and worked in Mexico and Brazil and am happy to help out in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Please feel free to reach out!

I'm a Cornell University graduate with a major in Industrial and Labor Relations and a minor in business. My career has taken me across some of the most dynamic fields out there. After Cornell, I joined Deloitte as a management consultant, working with Fortune 500 companies, then transitioned to a private family office where I led climate strategy for a philanthropy portfolio. Driven by a passion for sustainability and entrepreneurship, I went on to culinary school before pursuing a dual MBA/Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley. I've worked with students from both public and private high schools, and I bring the same strategic, big-picture thinking from my career to help students craft compelling, authentic applications that stand out to college admissions teams.
