For years I have helped people navigate the law school admissions process for top tier schools. My approach is about partnering with you to craft the most compelling story, and to help you shine through every facet of the application - from essays, to recommenders, to the interview. In spite of application weaknesses in GPA and test scores, my clients have been accepted to Harvard, Stanford, and other top programs.

I have deferred admission to Harvard Law School, where I will begin studying in 2024. When applying to law schools, I heavily consulted peers, current law students, professors, and admissions officers to refine my own strategy. I will bring my learnings from personal experience and my network to a coaching relationship. In particular, I will help candidates figure out how to make themselves stand out from the tens of thousands of applicants to top law school programs, by highlighting their experiences, passions, and personalities in a way that will stick with the admissions committee.

I have over 8 years working in law school admissions in addition to applying and attending law school myself. I have reviewed thousands of law school applications; including personal statements, diversity statements, addendums, and letters of recommendation. I have also served on admissions committees, which put me in the room with professors and other admissions professional to discuss why or why not a student should be admitted to a school. Additionally, as a certified coach, my professional training guides me in working with clients to overcome blocks and build confidence in their self and applications. I work with students in the United States and internationally to get into the law schools of their choice and assist with the entire process including scholarship negotiation.

Don't know any fancy lawyers or Ivy League grads and feeling lost with law school admissions? I'm here to help. A first-generation Uzbek-Uighur immigrant, I currently attend Stanford Law School as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and have helped students gain admission to Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, UPenn, NYU, Michigan, and other top law schools. Let me help you demystify the law school admissions process and chart a path towards your dream life.

As a former Associate Director of Admissions at Stanford Law School, I have read thousands of applications front to back, and have a deep understanding of what top law schools are looking for. It is more than just trying to 'stand out' from the crowd. You will need to craft a highly compelling story so that you convince the admissions committee that you have amazing potential as a law student, AND you will make a valuable contribution. I have many years of experience helping prospective law students gain admission to their dream schools - even those with less than optimal GPAs and LSAT scores. I am a strong believer that an applicant is more than the numbers - but the essay is the make-it or break-it factor. I will be your thought partner and supportive advisor from start to finish. I have expertise developing individualized time lines, school lists, letters of recommendation, resumes, essays (required and optional), character and fitness paragraphs, managing waitlists and even negotiating financial aid awards. I am here to answer any question that may come up throughout this time consuming and oftentimes overwhelming process, and we will have fun working together. You can do this, and I am here to help!

I want to make it easier and more predictable for others to figure out the strategies needed to get into "elite" institutions like the ones I attended - I had to stumble across these strategies myself, and want to take the guesswork out of the process for others! Most importantly: I'm passionate about helping folks figure out their unique Why - so that they can create a career rocket ship, and craft a compelling narrative for it.

I am a Harvard Law School alum providing coaching for all aspects of the application process, including essay writing, resume review, interview strategies, school selection, etc.
