As a a BYU alum, a mom of four BYU students and an experienced editor with over 10 years of experience working on executive-level writing, I’ve developed a unique passion for helping students tell their stories well. Since 2017, I’ve coached dozens of applicants—many of them nervous, hopeful high school seniors—through the BYU admissions process, specializing in helping them craft essays that are thoughtful, genuine, and uniquely theirs. I understand what BYU is looking for, both on paper and in spirit, and I love helping students gain the confidence to present their best selves. I’m passionate about all things BYU—from its mission and community to cheering on the Cougars every football season. If you're ready to apply to BYU and could use some support, I’d love to help—feel free to reach out!

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a strong foundation in business and marketing from Columbia Business School and George Washington University, I bring a wealth of experience in strategic planning and execution to college admissions coaching. In the past I have worked with Student from the Urban League of San Diego to help map out an SAT study plan and application timeline. Whether you need guidance on personal statements, extracurriculars, or interview preparation, I'm here to help you stand out in the competitive college admissions landscape. Let's connect and create a personalized strategy to achieve your academic goals!

I'm glad you're here! With over 18 years of experience as a college counselor, I've guided 600+ students to success in their college admissions journeys with hundreds of acceptances to elite colleges. My career began at Hunter College High School in NYC, where I helped students achieve their dreams of attending top-tier universities. I was instrumental in founding the college counseling program at Léman Manhattan Preparatory School, leading to exceptional college acceptances. As a professional college admissions interviewer and a contributing writer for admissions platforms, I possess the knowledge and experience to help you craft an exceptional application that showcases your strengths and ultimately leads to you being the one chosen among all the others. My international experience includes leading the college counseling department at elite international schools in Tokyo (IB) and Shanghai (IB/AP), where I supported students from diverse backgrounds while exploring the world. Three years ago, I pivoted to private practice to support students in this process, taking on only a handful of clients each year. Let's work together to showcase your strengths and navigate the college admissions process with ease and confidence!

I've spent the last 16+ years helping ambitious students get into the country's most competitive colleges, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, MIT, UChicago, NYU, and UCLA. Across 300+ college applicants, 95% have been admitted to at least one of their top-choice schools, and over 75% have placed at Top 25 universities. I work best with students who are coachable, motivated, and ready to put in real work - students who arrive with strong but scattered material and need help putting it all together. That's where I add the most value: helping students find a clear narrative across their application, build a school list that's strategic (not aspirational), and write essays that actually sound like them. The goal is applications that feel inevitable instead of cobbled together. I work with students from freshman through junior year, with tailored support depending on where they are in the process: early profile-building and direction in 9th and 10th grade, strategic execution in 11th, and full application support heading into senior year. The earlier we start, the more leverage we have. I graduated from NYU and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020, which gives me a current, first-hand perspective on what selective US adcoms are actually looking for. My career started in test prep and admissions consulting in Singapore, where I helped expand the company I worked for into Shanghai before returning to New York to found my own practice. I work with both US-based students and international applicants navigating the US system for the first time, particularly the kinds of students who often have the strongest stories but the hardest time articulating them. If you want a structured, strategic partner for your college process, let's talk.

My students have earned admission to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Penn/Wharton, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, Michigan, Cornell, and more. I specialize in helping ambitious students move beyond a generic “high-achieving applicant” profile and develop a clear admissions strategy, memorable personal narrative, polished essays, and a school list that fits both their goals and competitive positioning. My approach combines admissions insight, strategic consulting, and deep narrative coaching. I help students identify what makes them distinctive, translate their academic and extracurricular experiences into a cohesive story, and present themselves with clarity, maturity, and authenticity across all elements of their application. I’m especially strong with students targeting Ivy+/Top 30 schools, business or entrepreneurship programs, STEM/business crossover profiles, undecided high-achievers, international students, students who need stronger differentiation, and families who want a structured, high-touch process. If you want a coach who can help you think strategically, write powerfully, and build an application that feels both authentic and competitive, I’d love to work with you.

I achieved the highest possible level of scholarship (Presidential Scholarship, "Thomas S. Monson Scholar") coming into undergraduate study at Brigham Young University (BYU), awarded to only 50 students in each incoming class of 7000+ students. I've since helped students of many backgrounds successfully apply to BYU, including international students.
