I have had several years experience with College Admissions consulting, helping students get into their dream schools including some of the most competitive institutions nationally and internationally (UCLA, Cornell, UPenn, Duke to name a few). I have also specialized in helping students apply to niche programs, graduate and MBA programs, and schools like Brigham Young University, but that's not all. My professional career has included my role as a management consultant, where I built pricing models for insurance companies, evaluated presidential foundations’ programming, and improved marketing at large corporations. What most informs my approach to admissions, however, is my time working on the other side of the admissions process as Director of Admissions for the University of Redlands School of Education and later Regional Director of Enrollment and Operations for both the School of Education and the School of Business. In addition, I was an Assistant Director of Recruitment for the Claremont Colleges, where I was responsible for the recruitment and marketing strategy of the Keck Graduate Institute working with prospective science and engineering students. Right out of my graduate program at Harvard, I worked for Google's HR department and at Kaplan, developing a national curriculum in reading, math and writing for K-8th graders. I've co-authored a Kaplan textbook on writing and was responsible for training instructors on best practices in pedagogy. As someone with a wide range of experiences personally and professionally, I love helping students shape and mold their own stories to help them stand out in the crowd. In my free time, I love all things British royals, ballroom dancing, traveling internationally, and watching movies with complex plot lines.

My north star from teen years was to study in the US. This pushed me to start my application process early - from shortlisting programs and identifying the best fit to maximizing my GRE score and speaking with students and faculty at my target schools, I was able to methodically manage every component of my application. I am also of the opinion that one should aim for the wildest dreams and take a swing. Therefore, I always tell my clients, friends, and peers to separate the signal from the noise and apply to the schools that they really wish to attend, and at the same time, I help them build plans B, C, and D. It's good to have backup plans and yet it is equally important to give every application your absolute best so that there's no room for regret. I appreciate and understand how overwhelming the application process can be when done alone. Through my coaching, I aim to provide the right kind of support and advice to my clients in order to help make this arduous journey a little easier.
