Master’s Programs Admissions Coaches

I was able to match with a top-tier program during my first application cycle, something uncommon in genetic counseling. I have 3+ years of mentoring and have received formal training through a peer-mentorship course at Brigham Young University.

On coaching for MPA / MPP / Master of City Planning: I have helped many individuals in the past who are considering a Masters in Public Policy, Public Administration and even some in City Planning. I can help you understand how to plan your application process (timeline to take GRE, request recommendations, choose & coach recommenders etc.), review your application (resume, essays, writing samples) and prepare for interviews, if needed.

I specialize in helping professionals transform their work experience, personal journey, and future ambitions into a cohesive and compelling narrative: no matter how disparate they may appear on a single-page résumé. This is especially valuable if you’re considering a career pivot to better align your work with your personal values. I earned my Master’s in Public Affairs, with a certificate in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy, from Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs while serving in the military. My professional career spans finance, the military, policy, government, social entrepreneurship, and technology. Along the way, I’ve published widely on policy and technology across a dozen outlets and was honored with a literary award in my field. If you want to craft your unique story into a powerful narrative for an admissions panel, or to strengthen your professional trajectory, I’d love to set up an introductory call to discuss your goals.

Hello! A little bit about myself--I'm a healthcare strategist with a passion for anything writing, analysis, and research oriented. I've been helping students from a wide range of backgrounds--from data science to pre-med to MBA programs and more--for almost 10 years now (ad hoc) with their admissions essays and other writing assignments. I've helped several students get into their dream schools and I want to help you achieve your goals through the power of the pen. I studied at Yale School of Public Health and the Yale School of Management for my MPH degree, and Rutgers for my undergrad, where I majored in writing intensive and analytical driven majors (political science and planning and public policy). I currently use my writing and analysis skills in my job and my previous roles, and have been working for nearly 8 years now.
