Deferred Law School Admissions Coaches

Experienced law school admissions counselor with extensive track record of success, including acceptances to all T14 schools. Extensive experience working with students from China and Korea, students with learning disabilities, and anxiety.

As a first generation professional, I understand how stressful navigating the law school admissions process can be for applicants. After a post-graduation public interest fellowship and some time in big law, I spent more than a decade working at two T14 law schools—the University of Chicago and Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. My time working in legal education in both recruiting and student affairs means I am well-versed in how best to navigate the admissions process and select and succeed in the law school that is right for you. I am particularly passionate about working with those first generation professionals who are navigating the admissions process and with those from backgrounds historically excluded from the legal profession.

Does the prospect of applying to law school feel frustrating, overwhelming, or just too complicated? Then I'm your coach! While I just started my own law school admissions consulting business in 2025, I have nearly a decade of experience in law school admissions with eight of those years being at the University of Houston Law Center. I have read thousands of law school applications and can help you put your best foot forward in the application process. I will work with just about anyone, but I specialize in helping individuals from underrepresented communities find their perfect law school fit and those who aren't necessarily aiming for Ivy Leagues/T-14/T-30 schools (but if that's your goal, I'm more than happy to help). My expertise extends to anyone aiming to navigate the complex admissions landscape. Law school admissions is competitive, but there's a school out there for everyone. Let's connect and clear your path to law school success!

I have advised hundreds and hundreds of law school applicants over an almost twenty year period. I am an expert in law school admissions and have also published a book and a nationwide column about it. Many applicants that I have advised have been admitted to their top choice of law schools. Some of my former students have also received up to full scholarships to law school. I am also an expert on the subject of legal careers, as well as alternative legal careers. In addition I have taught several courses for students planning to apply to law school. I am a graduate of Brown University and Boston College Law School.

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!

As a recent Stanford Law School graduate and Knight-Hennessy Scholar, I bring a wealth of experience and insight into the law school admissions process. I have successfully coached over a dozen aspiring law students, helping them navigate the complexities of applications and secure spots at top law schools. I've continued to work with many of my admittees as they enter law school, select courses, apply for internships, navigate the job search, and secure federal clerkships. Whether you need guidance on crafting compelling personal statements, strategizing your application, or want to maximize your law school experience and future job opportunities -- I'm here to help you make your goals a reality. Let's connect! What's the process like? I like to do a 15-30 minute meeting up front to understand your background, goals, and priorities. We identify tasks to accomplish and set deadlines for each, taking a step-by-step approach that feels manageable.

My background includes four years as a software engineer at a top-tier tech company, where I honed analytical thinking, attention to detail, and communication skills — all of which I bring to my coaching.

I’ve also already helped several individuals craft compelling personal statements and prepare strong applications, guiding them through every step of the process. Whether someone is applying to T14 schools or aiming to craft a narrative that stands out, I’m here to help approach their application strategically and authentically.

I earned my JD from Howard University School of Law, graduating in the top 10% of my class while serving on law review. After law school, I joined Paul, Weiss and later Kirkland & Ellis, advising leading private-equity sponsors on multi-billion-dollar M&A transactions, carve-outs, and complex fund formations. This combination of elite legal training and high-stakes deal work gives me a deep understanding of what top law schools and firms look for in applicants and future attorneys. Beyond credentials, I bring a coach’s mindset. I’ve mentored aspiring law students, junior attorneys, and MBA candidates on crafting standout applications, preparing for interviews, and positioning their career narratives for Big Law, clerkships, and JD/MBA paths. Whether you’re targeting a T14 school, planning a dual-degree, or pivoting into business, I’ll help you translate your experiences into a compelling, authentic story and create an application strategy that maximizes your chances of admission and scholarship awards.
