Welcome to my profile! I hold a Master's degree in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern University, which I completed on a part-time basis while employed with Google. Northwestern helped me hone my skills in organization design, adult learning, leadership development, and change management. My 15+ year career has been dedicated to coaching developing individuals and teams, ensuring they reach their full potential. Whether you're aiming for a master's program or looking to enhance your career trajectory, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and craft a strategy to achieve your academic and professional goals!

I got my BA and MBA from Stanford, and have coached over a dozen undergrad, grad, and MBA applicants. With my background in customer research and storytelling I can help you share your unique story with the admissions committee, as well as tailor it to specific school criteria. I also support on resume writing/ updating, interview prep, and complete application strategy. Prior to my MBA I had a global career focused on product management and innovation. I now run my own impact-focused business, which I founded at Stanford.

Over the last four years, I have coached hundreds of students at a large R1 institution, guiding them as they prepare for graduate and medical school applications. I work with applicants from personal statement ideation all the way through decision making and I can't wait to do the same with you. Whether you're applying for the first time or reapplying and need a fresh take on your application, I'm confident that my coaching experience will be an asset to you. My approach centers around making meaning of your experiences, helping you to find the connections to your future goals, and translating those in a way that will resonate with the admissions committee. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals!

As a medical student, I saw the value in pursuing multiple complementary degree programs to help bolster my training and perspectives on the world. As a coach, I help prospective students navigate the difficult hurdles often faced when preparing to apply, enroll, and thrive in these programs.

As a Cohort 10th Schwarzman Scholar at Tsinghua University (#1 in Asia with only 3-5% acceptance rate from a competitive pool of 5,000+ applicants annually), I have firsthand experience with one of the most competitive master's programs globally. My academic journey also includes graduating with First Class Honours from the University of Hong Kong, where I was a recipient of multiple prestigious scholarships and later I got admitted to several M7 and T15 MBA programs, including The Wharton School, Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School ($130K fellowship), and Cornell Johnson ($70K fellowship). Professionally, I am a Management Trainee at Morgan Stanley, where I have developed expertise across various departments and championed diversity initiatives. I am passionate about helping aspiring master's students navigate the complex admissions process and secure their place in top programs, especially prestigious graduate fellowships and scholarships across China, Europe, and the United States. Let's connect to craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and potential!

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.

With a Doctorate of Education from Northern Illinois University, over a decade of experience on the faculty at The Ohio State University, and 25 years of diverse higher education career experience in total, I bring a wealth of knowledge in navigating graduate education and education career development. I also have deep knowledge in my areas of focus: educational psychology, research methods, instructional design & technology and online teaching and learning. I have years of experience as a hiring manager in education and I have been actively involved in admissions decisions for graduate programs, providing me with a deep understanding of what academic institutions are looking for in graduate school applicants and career professional candidates. My experience includes mentoring new and advanced doctoral and master's students and helping them navigate the complexities of graduate school applications, program matriculation, academic coursework success, and thesis/dissertation completion. I also provide guidance with professional and personal goal-setting, self-regulation and time management, navigating complex interpersonal relationships (such as with advisors/committee), and securing employment in academic and non-academic settings. My experience as a working mother while completing my own graduate degrees, eight years of online teaching/remote work, and guiding "working professional" online graduate students gives me a unique perspective on balancing family, school, and work while also practicing self-care. Whether you need guidance on crafting a compelling research proposal, how to manage a difficult thesis/dissertation committee, or advice on interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to achieve your academic and career goals!

As a first-generation American and first-generation college student, I know what it means to navigate elite academic and fellowship spaces without a roadmap. I was named a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and was a finalist for the Marshall Scholarship, and have been admitted to fully funded MPA and international policy programs at Stanford, Yale, Princeton (SPIA), Oxford (Blavatnik), and LSE. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of the admissions landscape, they fueled my commitment to helping others break into it. I focus on coaching applicants to top-tier MPA/MPP programs and prestigious fellowships like Knight-Hennessy, Fulbright, and Marshall. I specialize in helping purpose-driven candidates craft authentic, high-impact applications, especially those from nontraditional or underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you need support structuring your essays, preparing for interviews, or making strategic choices about where and how to apply, I bring both personal experience and a clear, collaborative process to help you succeed.

I received my MPhil at Cambridge University on the Gates Cambridge Scholarship and was a Rhodes Scholar Finalist
