Education Master’s Admissions Experts

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.

As a Columbia & UChicago admit with a background in Finance and Social Impact, I want to help diverse candidates throughout their graduate application journeys and beyond! Having recently gone through this process myself, I’ve gained valuable tools and insights to craft compelling, authentic applications that speak to admissions teams. No matter where you are in the process, let’s work together to tell your story—book an intro call today!

Welcome to my profile! I hold a Master of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and bring experience across educational leadership, learning design, mentoring, research, and innovation. I have worked as a Learning Experience Designer and Product Designer & Researcher with MIT’s Teaching Systems Lab, and I have also spent years supporting the growth and formation of young people through teaching, mentoring, programme design, and educational leadership. I have coached 25+ individuals into top colleges and graduate programmes across the US, helping them navigate school selection, essays, interviews, CVs, and broader application strategy. My approach is shaped not only by my professional experience, but also by my deep belief that education is about helping people discover and express who they are called to become. I help applicants identify their strongest stories, communicate their experiences with depth and clarity, and present themselves in ways that are both compelling and grounded. Because of my background in educational research and strategic design, I understand both the human and evaluative side of admissions. If you are looking for a coach who will help you think clearly, write authentically, and put forward an application that genuinely reflects your strengths, I would be glad to work with you.

Coached 20+ students into gaining admissions to top education programs like HGSE and U Penn GSE.

I turned my own skill with graduate-school applications--including admission to the US's top clinical psychology Master's/PhD program--into a way to help other applicants succeed. I do that by helping them find the right stories to tell and put their best foot forward, using my experience/success not only with applications but with writing fiction, narrative non-fiction, screenplays, and other story-driven work. Story is the best way to show admissions committees the "person behind the profile." That's what I help my clients do.
