JD/LLM Admissions Experts

Welcome! I’m an incoming J.D. student at Columbia Law School, Hamilton Fellowship recipient, and experienced admissions coach who helps applicants turn their backgrounds into compelling, coherent law school applications. Your law school application should do more than list accomplishments — it should help admissions committees understand who you are, what drives you, and why you belong. I bring years of experience coaching students through highly competitive admissions processes, including helping applicants gain admission to Ivy League and other top universities. I’ve also been through the law school admissions process myself: in a highly competitive cycle, I was accepted to multiple T14 schools, including two T6 schools, and received named scholarship and half-tuition offers. I can help with personal statements, diversity statements, school-specific essays, résumés, recommendation strategy, school selection, interview prep, and scholarship decision-making. My approach is honest, collaborative, and highly personalized. I’ll help you identify what makes your story powerful, avoid generic essay traps, and build an application that feels both authentic and strategically sharp. As an international applicant myself, I’m also passionate about helping other international students present their backgrounds effectively and navigate the U.S. law school admissions process with confidence. Everyone has a story worth telling. Let’s find yours!

As a Lawyer Career Coach and Certified Professional Writer, I have guided numerous legal professionals in achieving their career aspirations. My previous role as Assistant Director of Career Services at Cardozo School of Law equipped me with deep insights into career planning, professional development, and the intricacies of the legal job market. Whether you're crafting your résumé, personal statement, or preparing for interviews, I'm here to help you navigate the law school admissions process with confidence.

I’m a first-year law student who has recently navigated the law school admissions process and successfully helped friends do the same. I know firsthand how overwhelming the LSAT and application process can be and how difficult it is to raise your score while managing anxiety and pressure. Through targeted strategies and mindset shifts, I was able to raise my LSAT score to a near-perfect range, and I now help others do the same. My approach focuses on helping you to understand how the test works, not just memorizing tactics, so you can see consistent score improvements with confidence. Beyond the LSAT, I help applicants craft compelling, authentic personal statements that stand out regardless of numbers. I also offer resume editing and strategy: I recently received BigLaw offers in New York City before my 1L grades were released, an outcome I strongly attribute to how my resume told a clear and compelling story. If you’re looking for personalized guidance from someone who’s just been through the process and understands both the strategy and the stress, I’d love to work with you.

When I first thought of going to law school, I thought it was a terrible idea. Student loans, bad job outcomes, and attorneys’ frequent malaise. But then I did the research. I learned how to crack the code of law school admissions, and understood how to achieve a legal career without breaking the bank. I'll never forget the day I set foot on Harvard Law School's campus. I hadn't gone to a brand-name undergrad. It seemed like everyone else at the admitted students day knew each other; I didn't know anyone. But it didn't matter. You don’t need connections to get into law school; you need strategy. I am a federal clerk and a graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. I also hold a BA from Bard College, and am a PhD student in the Harvard sociology department. I know first-hand how stressful the JD application process is, and how to successfully navigate it. I know what admissions committees look for. And I know how to present your credentials—and build them—the way successful applicants do. As a coach, my approach is bottom-up. If you’re at the beginning of your application process, let's start by assessing your goals, generating a list of programs from there, and then thinking strategically about how to maximize your chances of admission at each program you apply to. If you’re further along, let’s look at your materials and work them into top shape. If you have interviews scheduled, we’ll practice them so you can start off on the right foot with schools you’re interested in. Wherever you are in the application process, let’s connect and work together to achieve your law school goals.

I I bring a nontraditional perspective to law school and business school admissions, having spent nearly eight years in the professional world and over five years living and working abroad in Dubai and across the Middle East before returning to graduate school. I earned both my B.A. and M.A. from Brown University and was accepted into nearly every law school I applied to, as well as multiple JD-MBA programs. I also earned multiple merit scholarships at every school I was accepted to, and successfully navigated the negotiating process to increase my package based on other offers. Alongside my academic and professional journey, I am a three-time Ironman 70.3 finisher and competed at the 2023 World Championships, which reflects my commitment to discipline, resilience, and long-term goal-setting. I am deeply passionate about helping others navigate ambitious transitions while maintaining balance, well-being, and a clear sense of purpose. Whether you are coming from a traditional educational/career path or considering a major pivot, I can help you craft a compelling story, strategically position your experience, and ace the application process with confidence. It is never too late to pursue a JD or MBA (or both), and I am here to help you make it happen!

I earned my bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College and both a Master of Science degree and MBA admission through the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I will be attending Duke University School of Law and have successfully navigated the law school admissions process as a splitter applicant.

I have particular experience helping splitters, reverse splitters, first-generation students, nontraditional applicants, and candidates with below-median statistics craft compelling applications that highlight their strengths and stand out in a highly competitive admissions process. Whether you are applying to the T14 or looking to maximize scholarship opportunities, I can help you build a strategic application plan and present the strongest possible version of your candidacy.
