College Admissions Consultants, Events, & Resources

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!

On paper, I am a Princeton college graduate, and a Stanford MBA graduate - as well as the less conventional qualification of being an admitted Ph.D. student in Anthropology at UC Irvine. More importantly to me, I grew up in a working class community, and applied to these programs with few paths tread ahead of me to set an example. For that reason, I'm passionate about working with students who are developing their voice and narrative in the application process - because with such competitive programs out there, anyone can often feel like an underdog. To date, most of my coaching has been with low-income students who have lacked extensive resources, so I am most supportive in framing narratives in ways that hint at the unique, if sometimes scrappy, qualifications of a student. I like to focus on the whole picture that an applicant brings to the table, from individual traits, to passions, to family background - alongside all the standard materials an application holds. Looking forward to working with some of you out there!

As a Stanford student who was also admitted to Harvard, Yale, and Wharton (to name a few), I’ve experienced firsthand what it takes to stand out in the highly competitive college admissions process. My work as a mentor with the Summer Science Program and as a tutor with Curious Cardinals has honed my ability to help students identify and communicate their authentic stories with confidence. I understand how to transform academic and personal experiences into powerful narratives that capture the attention of admissions committees. Beyond the application itself, I’m passionate about helping students discover their intellectual curiosities, define their goals, and approach the college process with clarity and purpose.

I am a graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA) and Princeton University, and closely worked with the admissions team on crafting an overall admissions strategy. I served as the Co-Chief Admissions Ambassador at HBS, and was involved in meeting with applicants and answering questions. I also assisted with putting together The Harbus' admissions guide, which has a collection of essays from successful applicants. I have also given tours at the School of Engineering at Princeton. I'm happy to assist with business school or college applications and strategies to maximize your admission chances.
