Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Coaches, Events, and Resources

I work with applicants targeting highly competitive international scholarships and fellowships, with a particular focus on global affairs, public policy, healthcare, and leadership. As a member of the 2025-2026 Schwarzman Scholars cohort at Tsinghua University, I’ve navigated a global selection process firsthand. I understand how panels assess leadership potential, and long-term vision, and how challenging it can be to translate strong experiences into a coherent, compelling narrative. Prior to Schwarzman, I completed a fully funded Master’s in Healthcare Leadership and studied at King’s College London for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, where I also served as a student ambassador supporting prospective and incoming students through competitive application processes. I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for both leadership and writing, including the Heather Trickey Prize for policy writing on women’s health, selection as a China-United States Exchange Foundation Young Leaders Scholar (8 selected from over 12,000 applicants), and appointment as a One Young World Ambassador. Each of these experiences required clarity and thoughtful positioning, as well as the ability to articulate impact at a high level. Alongside this, my career across healthcare leadership, consulting, policy, and startup building has required me to consistently operate in high-stakes, and competitive environments. I bring that same structured, strategic, and reflective approach to the applicants I work with.

Through the MIT Communication Lab, I have coached over 50 students in applying for prestigious fellowships and scholarships. In this process, I have helped 5 different students receive the Rhodes, Gates, Schwarzman, Knight-Hennessy, and Fulbright awards across different countries. I'm very familiar with the application processes as well as the writing frameworks necessary to build a competitive application.

I know firsthand what it takes to win some of the world’s most competitive scholarships and fellowships. As a Schwarzman Scholar at Tsinghua University and an APEC Scholar at the National University of Singapore, I earned two full-ride master’s degrees—complete with stipends—graduating entirely debt-free and free to dedicate myself to projects and internships I truly cared about. I understand exactly what these programs look for and how to help candidates stand out with a compelling through-line that connects their experiences, ambitions, and values. I specialize in guiding clients through interview prep, personal statements, and essays, making sure every piece of their application tells a persuasive and authentic story that captures selection committees’ attention.

I’ve been through the scholarship grind myself—and I get how overwhelming it can feel. I was fortunate to be awarded both the Fulbright Scholarship and the Gates Scholarship, two highly competitive programs that require more than just good grades—they demand a compelling story, a clear sense of purpose, and polished, authentic writing. As someone who’s not only navigated this process but helped others succeed as well, I bring real insight into what selection committees are looking for. Whether you're just brainstorming or refining a final draft, I can help you craft an application that’s not only impressive but genuinely you.

With my personal experience in applying and being successfully selected for competitive scholarships and fellowships, combined with my professional background in consulting and finance, I advise applicants developing scholarship strategies, then in putting forward their strongest applications and crafting compelling narratives. As a Pershing Square Scholar, I pursued dual Master's degrees at Oxford, and previously was a Cornelius Scholar at Vanderbilt University where I completed my Bachelor's degree. I also received the Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship to fund intensive Portuguese study in Brazil and was selected for the Fulbright Program in Italy (which I declined after receiving an offer for the opportunity to work with the UN), as well as smaller scholarships and grants to fund both my undergraduate and graduate education. My expertise includes US undergraduate and graduate scholarships as well as graduate scholarships to study in the UK and Europe, to identify potential scholarships and support your application process. After applying (or if you already applied!) I can also support you in structuring an approach for comparing costs, financial aid, scholarships, and other considerations for different options as you decide which option is the best for you. Scholarship coaching can be combined with and/or complement Masters, MBA, or College coaching.

I am an incoming Schwarzman Scholar in the 11th cohort at Tsinghua University, where I will pursue a Master’s in Global Affairs. I was selected from a highly competitive pool of more than 5,800 applicants worldwide, with an acceptance rate of approximately 2–3%. Through navigating one of the world’s most selective postgraduate scholarship processes, I bring firsthand insight into what makes a successful application. I support applicants to strategically frame their leadership, academic, and professional experiences into a clear, compelling narrative that differentiates them and resonates with selection committees.

As a former Fulbright Scholar, I understand the unique mission of the program and the qualities that selection committees seek—academic excellence, cross-cultural curiosity, and the commitment to build meaningful bridges between communities. I draw on my own experience applying for and winning the award to help candidates craft proposals and personal statements that are both authentic and compelling. My goal is to guide applicants in highlighting their strengths, articulating their vision, and presenting themselves as ambassadors who will thrive within the Fulbright community.
