College Admissions Coaches

Welcome! I am a current medical student at the California University of Science and Medicine and a UCLA graduate in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology with a passion for helping students successfully navigate the college admissions process, especially the UC-to-UC transfer pathway. I personally transferred from UC Riverside to UCLA, so I understand firsthand how challenging and confusing this process can be. I do not just teach theory. I share the exact strategies, insights, and lessons I used to make a successful transfer, from building a strong academic narrative to positioning your experiences effectively. My goal is to help you craft a compelling, authentic application that highlights your strengths, growth, and long-term aspirations. If you are aiming for a competitive UC transfer and want guidance from someone who has done it, let’s work together to make your college goals a reality.

Welcome! I help high school students navigate the college application process with clarity and confidence. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023 and began my career at Cisco, where I worked closely with interns and new team members as they figured out their strengths, interests, and next steps. After spending time in the workforce, I realized I wanted a more people-focused path and decided to make a thoughtful pivot. I’m now preparing to begin a graduate program in Occupational Therapy at Columbia University this fall. Going through that transition gave me a firsthand understanding of how much pressure students feel to “get it right,” and how important it is to remember that college is a starting point, not a final decision. Through my work with interns, along with volunteer experience supporting children and families, I’ve developed a practical, supportive approach to guidance. I focus on helping students break the application process into manageable pieces, clearly communicate who they are, and make choices that feel informed and confident. My goal is to make this process less overwhelming and more productive. I want students to feel supported, understood, and prepared to take their next step — wherever it leads.

Gaining admission to Dartmouth and graduating with a 3.9+ GPA set the stage for my entire career. Shoot me a message if you're looking to do the same!

I graduated cum laude from Harvard and went on to earn graduate degrees from MIT, Wharton, and Stanford — giving me firsthand experience navigating admissions at four of the most selective universities in the world. I understand what these institutions look for because I've been through their processes as both an applicant and, later, as a Guest Lecturer at Stanford School of Medicine and MIT. Today I'm an active entrepreneur, investor, and board member with experience spanning six countries and four continents. I've advised students and families across the U.S. and Latin America (I'm fluent in Spanish and Portuguese) on every aspect of the college admissions journey — from building a compelling profile and discovering the right schools, to crafting standout essays and making the final enrollment decision. My approach is centered on fit, not just prestige: the best school for you is the one where you'll thrive academically, personally, and professionally, and that's not always the one with the lowest acceptance rate. I help students tell their authentic story, identify schools they may not have considered, and put together applications that reflect who they truly are.
