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.

As a Harvard and MIT admit, I’ve seen that applicants who get in aren’t always the most “impressive” on paper. They’re the ones who can make sense of their experiences and connect them to a clear direction. I help applicants do exactly that across school and networking strategy, essays, resumes, and interviews. I specialize in the Harvard Kennedy School, mid-career policy applicants, and MPP-MBA applicants. I also work with applicants across a wide range of other Harvard and MIT master’s programs, including the Master’s in Real Estate, the Master’s in Design Engineering, and others. I believe access to these opportunities should not come down to having the “right” background, but to how you make sense of the experiences you already have. If you are looking to tell a story that feels both authentic and distinct, I would love to help you on your journey.

Welcome! I received my Master's in Linguistics from the University of Oxford, my BA in English Language and Literature from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and I have coached dozens of students through the admissions process for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs. I made the jump from a mid-tier university to the number one university in the world, and with my extensive background in writing, research, and interpersonal communication, I can help you compose a compelling application tailored to your choice of university and program--whether it's based in the States or abroad. Having worked with students from all over the world, I can help you maximise your experiences to share the best of yourself to the admissions committee. My approach is tailored to each individual's goals, ensuring that you can make the most out of the application experience. I also offer support for resumes/CVs, finding the right program for you, and enhancing your academic and technical writing skills to aid you in reaching your full potential!

I help you turn your story into an authentic narrative that admissions committees remember, because I’ve lived that story myself. Most recently, I co-founded and ran Bridgehouse, a premium global education company, serving as CEO from 2024 to 2026. I designed and led every programme we ran, partnering with faculty and teaching teams at Harvard, MIT, Cambridge and Oxford. Our clients included Fortune 500 CEOs and senior executives, so I know what exactly top leaders look for in talent, and what makes someone stand out in a room. Building programmes alongside top universities showed me what institutions actually value, and how strong candidates show it. I know what it’s like to apply without insider knowledge or a playbook, and I’ve spent the past decade helping others build one. I’ve also seen education from inside the classroom, as a Teaching Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where I was invited by faculty to co-teach and lead sessions for Harvard Graduates. Before education, I was a financial regulatory lawyer at Latham & Watkins. I went through BigLaw recruiting myself, from tens to hundreds of screening interviews to final-rounds, so I can help applicants targeting law school, or legal careers present themselves the way top firms expect.
