After reviewing thousands of graduate applications during my 15 years in admissions, I learned that the strongest applications are rarely the ones with the longest résumés or the most polished essays. As a former Associate Director of Recruitment and Admission at the USC Price School of Public Policy, I know admissions committees aren't looking for perfection. They're looking for applicants who have a clear sense of purpose and can communicate how their experiences, values, and future goals fit together into a compelling, cohesive narrative. That's the foundation of my work. I help applicants gain the clarity and confidence to make decisions aligned with their strengths, values, and long term goals, then translate that into an authentic application that stands out. Whether you're unsure how to tell your story, deciding between graduate programs, or applying to a highly competitive field, I'll help you communicate not just what you've done, but why it matters and where you're headed. I'll help you communicate not just what you've done, but why it matters and where you're headed. That's what makes applications stand out. My work is especially valuable for applicants who: ✨ Have meaningful professional experience but struggle to translate it into a clear, cohesive application narrative. 🌱 Feel that their essays are polished but still missing the deeper story that connects their experiences, motivations, and goals. 🔄 Are navigating a career transition and want to position it as an evolution rather than a weakness. 🎓 Are first generation students, LGBTQ+, students of color, or from historically underrepresented communities seeking guidance from someone who understands the importance of honoring your lived experience. ⚖️ Are applying to joint or concurrent degree programs and need help creating a cohesive narrative across multiple disciplines. 🌍 Want to create meaningful impact through public service, policy, social innovation, or systems change. If you're looking for thoughtful, personalized guidance throughout the graduate admissions process, I'd be honored to help you create an application that reflects your strengths, your purpose, and your potential.

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

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.
