I love the storytelling of admissions essays. My specialty is working on the law school essays, ranging from short optional essays, to diversity statements, to the personal statement. Having worked as a legal assistant, a resident assistant, and as president of a law school organization, I believe in the value of public service, and in sharing my knowledge with you. Whether you have a full essay draft that needs a final read, or a rough idea for a story and a feeling, I cater my strategy to you. I start with understanding your goals and emotions, to help you tell the story you want to tell about your journey to law school. I have experience in legal advocacy and working with legal clients from a wide range of backgrounds, and am comfortable meeting you where you are. I see myself as helping you to grow your creativity in the essay writing process, trimming areas that may trip you up, and coming out with an incredible bouquet of essays. Whatever your story, I'm here to work with you to achieve your law school dreams.

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.

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.

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.
