Having pivoted during medical school to pursue additional training as a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering, I had to learn on-the-fly how to prepare and succeed in the world of academia and research. Now, as I complete my PhD training, I strive to bolster the incoming generation of scientists and scholars to help promote diversity and inclusion at every level. Balancing multiple degree programs has taught me to manage my time, energy, and focus in meaningful ways, which I would love to pass on to any prospective students.

I worked at Stanford University for many years, managing admissions processes at several departments. Now I help prospective graduate students apply to their dream graduate programs, applying what I know from working behind the scenes at a top university. My clients get results and I can help you too! My process starts with a questionnaire, followed by a consultation and then covers every aspect of the process from brainstorming through navigating waitlists and scholarship offers. The majority of our process will be essay writing collaboration, which I strongly believe is the most crucial factor of a successful graduate school application. I also help with crafting school lists, figuring out who should write letters of recommendation, putting together addenda if needed, revising resumes, and interview preparation. PhD applications are different than other types of applications. There is a personal component that goes into it - finding an advisor who is willing to commit to working with you. Forging that relationship in advance, or at least starting the process BEFORE gaining admission can make-or-break your cycle. I will help support you through this sometimes frustrating aspect of your application process.

Through developing a strong application highlighting your research, academic, and "soft" skills, I've helped dozens of students be admitted into their dream Ph.D. programs at elite universities (as well as bridge to PhD programs). I have developed techniques for students to perfect all parts of their applications and how to contact professors and admissions committees to illustrate interest in the program.
