Master's Programs Consultants, Events, & Resources

Graduate with a dual masters from Stanford's Graduate Schools of Education and Business, seasoned management consultant at Bain & Company, ed tech and youth development enthusiast

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 graduate of HEC Paris Master in Management program and a strategy consultant at Bain, I bring both firsthand experience and deep industry insight to help students navigate their master’s journey. I’ve coached over 40 students on selecting the right business programs, crafting compelling applications, and positioning themselves for success. With a strong track record across the US, Europe, and Asia, I’m passionate about helping candidates unlock global opportunities through top-tier master’s degrees. I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and craft a winning application together!

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!

In addition to my 20+ years of admissions consulting experience, I also have firsthand experience in the entertainment world as a represented screenwriter, and then as a literary manager. Having worked on writing assignments and rewrites for several studios and production companies, as well as multiple production roles as PA (office and set) and script supervisor, while living and networking in Hollywood for several years, I know how the industry works. Having helped dozens of applicants gain admission to top MFA (film) and producer's programs (like USC's Stark program), I know exactly what admissions committees are looking for. A successful application to any degree program requires finding the most compelling version of your personal story, developing and optimizing that story to fit your target audience, and executing it in a way that captures its full potential. Naturally, nowhere is the bar for storytelling higher than film schools. My approach to guided introspection, story exploration and development, essay brainstorming, outlining and revision, and intensive interview preparation will help you develop the strongest possible application so you can pursue your dreams in the entertainment business.
