Hello and welcome to my profile! With a strong academic background from Harvard University and Duke University, I am currently a third-year medical student at Stanford University School of Medicine, focusing on neurology and psychiatry. My experience as an Assistant College Counselor at Ardent Academy has equipped me with the skills to guide students through the college admissions process. I have a passion for helping students craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and aspirations. Whether you're just starting your college journey or refining your application, I'm here to provide personalized support and insights. Let's work together to make your college dreams a reality!

Recent student acceptances include: Cornell, USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, Northeastern, Boston University, UIUC, Chapman University, Loyola Marymount University, University of San Diego, Texas A&M, UT Austin, Rutgers University, and the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. After reviewing thousands of undergraduate applications during my 15 years in admissions, I learned that the strongest applications are rarely the ones with the longest extracurricular activity lists or the most polished essays. As a former Associate Director of Admission at the University of Southern California, I know admissions committees aren't looking for perfect students. They're looking for real students, those who have a genuine sense of who they are and can communicate how their experiences, values, interests, and dreams come together to tell a compelling, authentic story. That's the foundation of my work. I help students gain the clarity and confidence to make college decisions that align with their strengths, values, and long term goals, then translate that into an application that stands out. Whether you're struggling to find your authentic voice, choosing the right colleges, or applying to highly selective universities, I'll help you communicate not just what you've accomplished, but who you are and what you hope to contribute. That's what makes applications memorable. My work is especially valuable for students who: 🎓 Feel pressure to appear perfect and want the confidence to present their authentic selves. 🌱 Are navigating self doubt, unconventional paths, or significant decisions and want thoughtful, honest guidance throughout the admissions process. 📚 Have meaningful experiences but struggle to translate them into a clear, cohesive application that reflects their voice. 💛 Want a coach who sees them as a whole person, not just an applicant, and values their growth as much as their admissions outcomes. If you're looking for thoughtful, personalized guidance throughout the college admissions process, I'd be honored to help you create an application that reflects your strengths, your story, and your potential.

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 was accepted to four Ivy League universities and six highly competitive combined Bachelor’s/DDS dental programs. I ultimately chose to attend Stony Brook University on a full scholarship, where I was also admitted to the Honors College. Through this journey, I gained firsthand experience navigating competitive admissions, building a strong application profile, and crafting essays that authentically showcase a student’s strengths and story.
