I was accepted to Stanford and multiple Ivy League Schools, which taught me exactly how to build a standout academic and extracurricular profile. In high school, I pursued Stanford-affiliated research, led nonprofit and community initiatives, and built a set of top-tier extracurriculars that helped differentiate my application. In college, I’ve continued that trajectory as a student senator, campus leader, and someone who has worked across four countries in finance, business, and international development. I know what elite admissions offices look for and how to help students craft compelling stories, because I’ve done it myself and helped others do the same. I have a 100% success rate of getting my mentees into their top 3 choice schools. Let's work together to achieve your goals! Reach out to get started.

I've cracked the admissions code twice (once for undergrad, once for MBA) and spent 5+ years as an undergraduate admissions interviewer, giving me rare insight from both sides of the process.

I specialize in helping students develop compelling personal statements, supplemental essays, activity lists, resumes, and overall application strategies. I work closely with students to identify their most compelling stories, build cohesive application narratives, and effectively communicate their accomplishments and potential. I have particular experience helping high-achieving students, first-generation students, underrepresented applicants, and those seeking admission to Ivy League and other highly selective universities.

I'm Ella. I graduated from BYU with a degree in Human Resource Management, converted from intern to full-time at Leland while finishing my degree, and spent time during my undergrad as a mentor in BYU's HR Program helping students land internships at competitive companies like EY. I believe crafting the right narrative is the most important part of your college application. The students who get in, who get hired, who stand out are almost never the most impressive on paper. They're the ones who figured out how to present themselves with clarity and honesty. That's what I help you do. If you're trying to get into BYU, crack the business school application, or walk into your first internship ready to actually succeed, I'd love to work with you.
