I've supported students with admissions to MBA programs, MPH programs, master's of psychology programs, and more.

I am an alumnus of the 7th cohort of Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University, where I earned a Master's of Management Science in Global Affairs between 2022-23 and was selected from competitive pool of 3,000+ applicants (<5% acceptance rate). I bring firsthand experience and deep insights into what makes a successful master's application and I've previously helped advise candidates who have gone on to be accepted to prestigious graduate programs across China, Europe, and the United States. Throughout my educational journey, I've learned how to strategically frame and present one's leadership, academic, and professional accomplishments to highlight their unique strengths and successfully stand out.

As a Stanford Master's in International Policy graduate (fewer than 30 admits annually) who was accepted to ALL programs I applied to - including Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia SIPA, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and elite dual-degree programs - I know exactly what separates admits from qualified applicants. I currently teach entrepreneurship at Stanford and founded the Education Entrepreneurship Hub. This gives me unique insight into both policy and education program admissions, plus deep connections in the Stanford ecosystem. I work with about 5 comprehensive clients per round (plus hourly coaching for others) because I believe in giving each person the attention they deserve. My 100% acceptance rate comes from one simple truth: every applicant has a compelling story - we just need to find it and tell it right. I love working with: 🌍 The Career Changer with Big Goals You want to pivot into public service, education, or international work but aren't sure how to connect your corporate background to your new mission. That transition story is often your greatest asset. 🎓 The Academic Who Downplays Real-World Impact You've done incredible research or education work but struggle to translate it into admissions language. I help you show the broader significance of your contributions. 📈 The Professional Who Thinks They're "Too Business-y" You're worried your private sector experience doesn't fit policy programs. Wrong! Programs love candidates who bring diverse perspectives and practical skills. 🚀 The Social Impact Entrepreneur You've built something meaningful in the nonprofit or social enterprise space but need help articulating your leadership and vision in ways that resonate with admissions committees. My approach: Think collaborative brainstorming meets strategic positioning. I'm your biggest cheerleader AND your honest feedback partner. We'll dig deep into your experiences, find your authentic voice, and craft applications that feel genuinely like you - just the best, most compelling version. Real Talk: I only work with people who are coachable and willing to put in the work. I'm not going to write your essays for you, but I will help you write essays that feel authentically yours and get results! Recent Wins: 100% acceptance rate across my own applications, plus successful admits for career changers, international candidates, and non-traditional backgrounds to top policy and education programs.
