with an MBA from Chicago Booth, where I was a Wallman Scholar and Siebel Scholar, I bring a wealth of experience in both academia and industry to my coaching. My professional journey includes leadership roles at DiDi, where I was the General Manager for the South Cone region, and strategic positions at Morgan Stanley.

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.

Welcome to your next inflection point! I'm a dual degree Master of International Affairs + MBA candidate at Columbia SIPA + Business School, with a nontraditional background that bridges government, policy, and finance. I know what it’s like to navigate the world of public policy programs -- crafting a compelling narrative, translating interdisciplinary experience, and getting into top schools without a traditional profile. Now, I help others do the same. Whether you’re just starting your application journey or fine-tuning your essays and interviews, I bring structure, perspective, and clarity to help your story shine. From MPPs to MIAs and MPAs, I work with mission-driven candidates who are ready to lead. Let’s get to work!

I hold master’s degrees from both NYU and Clemson, so I understand firsthand what it’s like to apply to competitive graduate programs - and how to stand out. My 11+ years working in admissions at top universities have given me an insider’s perspective on what committees look for and how candidates can distinguish themselves. As an ICF-Certified Coach, I bring a supportive yet strategic approach to guiding applicants through the graduate admissions process. From refining your personal statement to highlighting your academic and professional achievements, I’ll help you craft an application that demonstrates your readiness and confidence.

Here's something people don't know about me: prior to business school, I worked on Capitol Hill and for a lobby group of business CEOs. I chose not to go to HKS because I didn't need more politics in my life. However, policy is in my blood, and I love working on the all MPP type applications, including Columbia's SIPA or Georgetown, or Johns Hopkins SAIS. For the Kennedy School, in the two-year and the mid-career program I have close to a 95% success rate. That's because in addition to thinking like a policy wonk, I consider these applications a labor of love. There's no interview for HKS, and the application and resume are demanding! But I'm here for it.
