Master's Programs Consultants, Events, & Resources

I was admitted to a 3 Master's of Biomedical Science programs for the purpose of strengthening my application to dental school: Rutgers, Nova Southeastern, and Roseman.

I hold a master’s degree in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and now work professionally in the field designing and facilitating leadership development programs, leading initiatives, and coaching professionals in complex organizational environments. Because of that experience, I understand both sides of the equation: what top programs are looking for in applicants and how the degree actually translates into real-world career opportunities. I help applicants clarify their story, articulate why organizational psychology is the right path for them, and present their experiences in a way that stands out to admissions committees. My goal is to help you move beyond generic applications and create a clear, compelling narrative about who you are, what you want to do, and why this degree is the next logical step.

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.
