I’m a Schwarzman Scholar at Tsinghua University, selected from a global applicant pool of 5,000+ with a ~3% acceptance rate. I was also admitted to several M7 and T15 MBA programs — including Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, Columbia Business School, and Cornell Johnson — with over USD 200K in merit scholarships. Professionally, I was Asia’s first-ever rotational Management Trainee at Morgan Stanley, working across multiple departments. I’m passionate about helping ambitious candidates cut through the complexity of elite admissions and secure offers from top master’s programs — particularly competitive fellowships and scholarships across China, Europe, and the United States. Let’s work together to craft an application that clearly communicates your story, strengths, and long-term potential.

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.

I have written roughly ten applications for graduate fellowship programs and was fortunate to be awarded the Rhodes, Truman, and Knight-Hennessy Scholarships to fund the entirety of my graduate education. I've also worked with dozens of applicants with these programs and love helping others find programs that align with their goals, present themselves authentically, and ultimately have fulfilling experiences in graduate school. I have deep expertise in the entire process, from selecting recommenders to writing essays to ultimately interviewing. My students have applied to programs ranging from law school to MBAs to masters and doctorate program in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, so if you're interested in a graduate fellowship please reach out!

I've guided students to success at top universities worldwide, including Harvard, Oxford, and INSEAD. My admissions committee experience equips me with insider knowledge to enhance your application strategy. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier program in Europe or the US, I'm here to help you craft a compelling application that stands out. In recent years, my clients have been admitted to master's programs at: University of Oxford University of Cambridge LSE: London School of Economics & Political Science King's College London Sciences Po (Paris School of International Affairs) HEC Paris INSEAD Università Bocconi ESSEC ESCP Esade Erasmus University Rotterdam Duke University University of Chicago Tufts University I love helping candidates sharpen their research proposals and statements of academic purpose. My own diverse academic and professional background allows me to support candidates across the social sciences, humanities and business. What's more, I've pursued graduate research in both France and the United States, and I've taught at the bachelor and master level in France, the US, and Germany. For candidates who aim to span geographic or disciplinary boundaries in their work, I'm happy to be a resource.

Hi! I know how stressful applying to a Master's program can be, so I work with my clients to make sure they feel confident as they move through the application, and am always available to jump on a call to make this overwhelming and opaque process easier. With a Master of Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and a Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown University, I bring a strong academic foundation and a passion for public service to my coaching. My experience as a Policy and Advocacy Manager at Care For the Homeless and as a Public Policy Fellow at Pine Street Inn has equipped me with the skills to guide aspiring master's students through the complexities of their applications. I have successfully coached individuals, helping them craft compelling narratives and strategic applications to gain admission to top programs. If you're looking to make a meaningful impact in your field, let's work together to achieve your academic and career goals!

After my own journey applying and interviewing for MBAs and helping others for Master's, from rejections to full-time offers with scholarships, I can personally attest to the challenges, frustrations, and difficulties in determining the right school and executing to receive an offer. I visited 12 business schools in 5 countries in the US, Europe, and Asia in my own research and decision-making process. I've helped numerous applicants on essays, school strategy, narrative development, overall applications, etc. Would be pleased to share learnings and support other applicants in their own trajectories towards success. I've studied in 7 universities and lived in 9 countries, so I uniquely understand different education systems across borders.

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!

Here's something people don't know about me: prior to business school, I worked on Capitol Hill and for a lobby group of business CEOs. I chose not to go to HKS because I didn't need more politics in my life. However, policy is in my blood, and I love working on the all MPP type applications, including Columbia's SIPA or Georgetown, or Johns Hopkins SAIS. For the Kennedy School, in the two-year and the mid-career program I have close to a 95% success rate. That's because in addition to thinking like a policy wonk, I consider these applications a labor of love. There's no interview for HKS, and the application and resume are demanding! But I'm here for it.
