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!

I'm Bryan, a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a double major in International Relations and Latin American & Latino Studies. As a first-generation Latino college graduate, I learned to navigate the college admissions process by myself and am passionate about helping others through this intimidating process. I have guided many mentees and peers through the college admissions process through reviewing college essays, giving guidance on test prep time management, crafting narrative as a prospective applicant, developing leadership skills, and preparing for admissions interviews. These students have been accepted to an array of colleges including UPenn, Stanford, Harvard, Drexel, and Claremont McKenna. As a coach, I believe a holistic approach across leadership skills, academic excellence, and character are critical to standing out in the competitive college admissions process. I take the time to understand where the student is in their admissions process to develop a baseline and collaborate to understand pain points in the process and curate a plan to best prepare for the college admissions process. After preparation I am here to assist as developments come up, providing guidance on selecting a school, how to navigate financial packages, and other stressful decisions in the process. I am here to help demystify the college admissions process and make your life easier!

In my ~5 years at BYU, I wrote hundreds of papers/articles/publications, and edited hundreds more for my major, personal interests, and role as Editor of the BYU Political Review. I have an intimate understanding of what good (and bad!) writing looks like. At Leland, I run our content engines and I've read everything there is to know about the college and graduate admissions process.
