Data Science Master’s Admissions Experts

◆ 5 years of experience as a grad school admissions coach, with a focus on STEM programs and a skew towards international applicants ◆ Coached 50+ candidates to land acceptances at their dream schools, including Stanford, Harvard, and other top universities ◆ Personally accepted to Stanford's Management Science and Engineering program in 2019 and graduated at the top of the class ◆ After graduation, spent 6 years as a management consultant at McKinsey, then launched an investment fund called Par 3 Partners Five years ago, I built a grad school admissions toolkit that helped me get accepted into Stanford's MS&E program -- my dream program at my dream school. Since then, I’ve refined that toolkit by working with dozens of students -- continuously adding, pruning, and sharpening it into a highly targeted, repeatable system that works. For example, I'm thesis-first, meaning that before you write a single word, I work with you to define the one sentence an admissions officer should be able to repeat about you after a six-minute read. Today, I systematically train candidates on this program, coaching them to think and communicate the way that top programs expect: powerful, confident, and compelling. I work with candidates across the full admissions cycle, from high-leverage, last-mile prep for those nearing deadlines, to end-to-end partnerships covering program selection, interview prep, and early-stage essay development. Clients frequently describe my feedback as direct and precise, but warm and supportive. I won’t sugarcoat, and I won’t let vague thinking or unclear communication slide, but I’m deeply invested in each candidate’s success and fully bought into helping them perform at their best when it matters most. If you’re looking for someone with the experience to show you a process that actually works, I’d be excited to partner with you.

I bring a wealth of experience from my time working in admissions at both the undergraduate and medical school levels at Georgetown University. During my tenure, I gained invaluable insights into the admissions process, which I now leverage to help aspiring master's program candidates craft compelling applications. My approach is personalized and strategic, focusing on highlighting your unique strengths and experiences to stand out in a competitive field. Whether you need guidance on application strategy, essay writing, or interview preparation, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Hello! A little bit about myself--I'm a healthcare strategist with a passion for anything writing, analysis, and research oriented. I've been helping students from a wide range of backgrounds--from data science to pre-med to MBA programs and more--for almost 10 years now (ad hoc) with their admissions essays and other writing assignments. I've helped several students get into their dream schools and I want to help you achieve your goals through the power of the pen. I studied at Yale School of Public Health and the Yale School of Management for my MPH degree, and Rutgers for my undergrad, where I majored in writing intensive and analytical driven majors (political science and planning and public policy). I currently use my writing and analysis skills in my job and my previous roles, and have been working for nearly 8 years now.

I help Master’s applicants clarify their direction, craft a compelling narrative, and secure funding—aiming for successful admissions and funding outcomes, backed by my experience as a former MIT Assistant Dean and Harvard Admissions Officer. With 20+ years of experience in graduate education leadership, I’ve supported thousands of applicants through distinct pathways for research-based and professional degrees. I understand what committees look for—and more importantly, what students actually need once they’re in. What I help with: • Career Pivot Strategy: Translating your work history into a focused academic narrative that shows readiness and purpose • Program Fit & Degree Type: Choosing between M.S., M.Ed., M.Eng., M.P.P., or other paths based on your goals and values • Funding Guidance: Identifying and negotiating merit aid, fellowships, and fee waivers to reduce financial stress • Application Materials: Writing statements, short answers, and resumes that show both alignment and impact • Decision-Making Support: Interpreting offers, evaluating ROI, and planning for sustainable success in fast-paced programs As a PhD student researching equity and student well-being, and a Board Exam Candidate in Health & Wellness Coaching, I offer evidence-informed coaching that supports both outcomes and your whole self, fostering a sense of being truly supported and understood. Whether you're seeking advancement, transition, or healing through education, I help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and care.
