My job as a college coach is to find that story alongside students who may need an extra push to find the courage and verbiage to do so. I enjoy the early stages of ideation the most because I am consciously reminded of how promising our future is given students’ life stories. The reflection students are able to have through this process reveal bits of themselves they may have never taken note of before, and to me that is the beauty of storytelling and finding yourself.”

With over two decades of experience in higher education admissions and enrollment management, I bring a deep understanding of the undergraduate admissions landscape. I’ve successfully guided students through the complex college application process, offering support in identifying best-fit schools, crafting compelling personal statements, and navigating financial aid options. My professional background includes leadership roles in admissions offices at various colleges, giving me an insider’s perspective on what institutions are looking for in applicants and how students can present their unique strengths with clarity and confidence.

Whether working with students from competitive high schools or those with nontraditional paths, I aim to empower them to tell their story authentically and make informed choices about their future.

Welcome to my profile! I’m a Duke University graduate (Public Policy major, History minor) with a deep love for storytelling, mentorship, and helping students present their best, most authentic selves on paper.

I’ve worked with several students through the college admissions process, working one-on-one to uncover their unique voices, shape compelling personal narratives, and build cohesive, standout applications. Students I work with value my collaborative, supportive approach and my attention to detail—especially when it comes to essays that feel genuine, confident, and polished.

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.
