Chemistry Admissions Coaches

Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in higher education administration and admissions, I am well-equipped to guide you through the PhD application process. As an Associate Director at USC Marshall School of Business, I interviewed 150 students and managed admissions logistics, giving me a deep understanding of what top programs are looking for. My role at UChicago Medicine involved leading recruitment efforts for incoming PhD students, where I coordinated interviews and streamlined program data. Additionally, my time at Stanford University School of Medicine as an Admissions Assistant provided me with firsthand experience in application processing and screening. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique strengths and aligns with your academic goals. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can assist you in achieving your PhD aspirations!

I'm one of the very few STEM-focused college and graduate school admission counselors with a bona fide STEM PhD and career of my own. Because I've accomplished what my students are seeking, my students tend to respect and listen to my advice. I understand STEM students far better than any generic coach. I know the application and application review process inside-out and I'm an award-winning writer who makes my students' personal and statement of purpose essays shine with authentic, attention-grabbing narratives. My additional "unfair advantage" is my massive network of STEM professionals, including professors, hiring managers, scientists and engineers of all stripes. I have over 900 first-degree connections in LinkedIn. Most are people I've actually worked with. I frequently leverage my network to enhance my coaching. I make introductions for students and get my colleagues' perspectives and opinions about what makes the most sense for my students in their specific circumstances.
