Welcome to my profile. I hold a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law and bring extensive experience in law school admissions consulting. I am the Founder and Principal Consultant of CW Admissions, drawing on experience guiding more than 100 applicants through the law school admissions process across national admissions consulting organizations and nonprofit initiatives, as well as experience as an application reader at a top-ten law school. My work focuses on application strategy, narrative development, and overall positioning. I help applicants identify their strongest themes, evaluate whether their materials are working at the admissions level, and understand how their applications function as a whole. Beyond initial submissions, I advise clients on post-submission strategy, including waitlist communications, letters of continued interest, and scholarship negotiation. My approach is highly individualized and coach-driven, with an emphasis on judgment, clarity, and thoughtful decision-making in a competitive admissions landscape.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience at top law schools like the University of Chicago and Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, I bring a wealth of knowledge in law school admissions and student affairs. As a former Associate Dean and Director of Diversity Education & Outreach, I have reviewed countless applications and led recruitment initiatives, particularly for first-generation and historically underrepresented students. My background as a first-generation professional allows me to understand the challenges applicants face and guide them through the process with tailored strategies, and students I have worked with have gone on to U of C, Pritzker, Georgetown, Cornell, Wash U, USC and other great law schools. Whether you're navigating the complexities of law school admissions, seeking to enhance your personal statement, wanting to strategize about a character and fitness issue, or deciding which law school would best allow you to thrive, I'm here to help you succeed.

I encourage you to contact me if you have concerns about the affordability of coaching, as I am always happy to offer discounts or design custom packages for those with less financial resources.

As a current JD/MBA candidate at the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton and Penn Law), I’ve seen firsthand how an authentic and strategic approach can help candidates stand out. Having taken an unconventional path into law school, business school, and finance, I’m passionate about helping other non-traditional candidates do the same.

I worked closely with a law school admissions coach during my own application process, which gave me a deep understanding of admissions strategy, timing, and what law schools are truly looking for in successful applicants. I applied to nine law schools and was accepted to all of them. Through that process, I learned how to craft compelling personal statements, build cohesive application narratives, and strategically position experiences and goals to stand out. As a current law student, I enjoy helping applicants clarify their stories, strengthen their materials, and approach the admissions process with confidence and intention.

Clients I’ve worked with have earned admission to T-14 programs and received significant scholarship awards, including applicants with unconventional paths or imperfect GPAs. Personally, I navigated the process twice (once with the GRE and once with the LSAT) and received multiple T-14 offers and scholarship packages, which gives me firsthand insight into how schools evaluate applicants. While I work with all candidates, I consider my coaching ideal for applicants with nontraditional backgrounds, career pivots, gap years, or imperfect GPA/LSAT profiles. Over the past several years, I’ve coached applicants with every kind of background. This ranges from traditional and non-traditional applications. Prospective students and clients have entered feeling they had imperfect credentials and often left with competitive admissions and scholarship decisions. Beyond my admissions experience, I bring a commercial and legal background that helps applicants articulate their professional maturity, career readiness, and real-world value in ways admissions committees respond to. I don’t just edit essays, in fact I'd suggest I'm not the best coach if tha'ts your main aim. I help you build a strategy that highlights your strengths, neutralizes weaknesses, and presents a cohesive, compelling story. The law school process can feel opaque and inconsistent. My role is to make it clear, structured, and tailored to you, so you’re confident you’re making the strongest possible case at every step.

Welcome to my profile! As a current JD candidate at Harvard Law School and a summa cum laude graduate from George Washington University, I bring a wealth of academic excellence and practical experience to my coaching. My professional journey includes roles at Capital One and Bates White, where I honed my analytical and strategic skills. I was accepted to several JD/MBA dual degree programs and have a deep understanding of what top law and business schools are looking for. Whether you need assistance with personal statements, resume building, or interview preparation, I'm here to guide you every step of the way and help you craft a compelling application that stands out. Reach out to start your journey to admissions success!

I help law school applicants tell powerful stories, elevate their writing, and stand out in the most competitive cycles. I know how to build a winning narrative because I’ve lived it — from being first-generation, to working at McKinsey, to earning admission to Stanford Law. I’ll help you take your background (traditional or not) and make it unforgettable. I focus on what actually matters to admissions committees: clarity, authenticity, strategic positioning, and polished, high-impact writing. You’ll walk away with statements that feel true to you — and stronger than anything you’d produce alone. If you’re aiming for T14, a scholarship, or want your story to land with maximum effect, let’s work together.

More than 20 years of experience working with prospective and admitted students for top law schools in the United States. Can focus on the application and career prospects.
