I have spent over a decade working in higher education and admissions, including as an Associate Director of Admission at the University of Southern California, where I reviewed thousands of applications, and worked closely with students during pivotal moments of transition. Even while working in admissions, my role often extended beyond applications, offering empathetic guidance through uncertainty, self-doubt, and major academic and personal decisions. I believe the strongest applications are created through strategy, self-trust, and authentic storytelling. I enjoy working with: 🎓 Students who feel pressure to be “perfect” and want help showing who they really are 🌱 Students navigating self-doubt, big decisions, and/or unconventional paths 📚 Highly motivated students who struggle to articulate their impact beyond grades and activities 💛 Students who want thoughtful, grounded guidance through a stressful process I offer honest, strategic feedback grounded in empathy. I focus on helping students feel seen while also learning how to clearly and confidently communicate their strengths, values, and goals to admissions committees. This is a collaborative process rooted in trust, reflection, and intention. I provide clear guidance, compassionate support, and essays that sound like you—just more focused and compelling.
