Prestigious Scholarships & Fellowships Coaches, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! As a Fulbright Scholar and a current MD candidate at Harvard Medical School, I bring a wealth of experience in prestigious scholarships and fellowships. My journey through Yale University, where I served on the alumni interview team, has equipped me with a deep understanding of what top programs seek in candidates. I've successfully guided numerous students in securing competitive scholarships by leveraging my background in tutoring. Whether you're aiming for a Fulbright or another prestigious award, I'm here to help you craft a standout application. Let's work together to achieve your academic and professional goals!

Hello! I have extensive experience personally applying for and coaching others through various scholarships. I was in the first cohort of Knight Hennessy Scholars at Stanford, with an acceptance rate under 1%, and served as a peer interviewer and admissions ambassador for the program. I love helping people bring out their authentic selves and accomplishments in scholarship applications.

As a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship in 2017 (one of 12 selected from the states of Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts), I know how stressful and opaque the application process can be. When I got to the interview, it was clear to me that the 6 Harvard students who had been selected had all received substantial preparation support from Harvard and from their own personal network (including strategies for the notorious Cocktail Reception!) that other students like me were not afforded. This has motivated me to help others on this platform to level the playing field. Let me help you take your best shot - after all, you only get one chance at it.

I am a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford, where I am pursuing a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. Having successfully navigated the Knight-Hennessy application and selection process, I understand what the program looks for—independence of thought, purposeful leadership, and a strong civic mindset—and how to communicate those qualities authentically. I coach applicants on crafting compelling narratives, preparing for interviews, and positioning their experiences in a way that aligns with the Knight-Hennessy mission. The application should also be a time for you to reflect on all of the experiences and people that have made you the person behind the application. I want to help you make the most out of this process.

Wholly, I have a diverse range of expertise spanning engineering, policy, and finance. I am specifically well-versed in obtaining entry to top scholarships including: - UK-US Fulbright Postgraduate Award - Royal Academy of Engineering: Engineering Leaders Scholarship - UK Navel, Engineering, Science & Technology Scholarship (UKNEST) - IET Scholarships & Travel Awards - PEO International Peace Fellowship - British Universities of North America Club (BUNAC) Scholarship - UK Electronic Skills Foundation (UKESF) Scholarship Hence, I am able to help advise applicants on the key qualities required to differentiate themselves in an ever-competitive pool. I have further grounding in also producing other application materials including presentations, videos and digital portfolios.

Fellowship committees aren't just evaluating your credentials. They're looking for candidates with a clear sense of how the fellowship fits into their future, and a compelling answer to the following question: what will you contribute that no one else can? Together, we’ll work through these ideas until your answers are authentic, specific, and impossible to ignore. What sets me apart: I’m both a Fulbright Scholar and a sitting member of Wake Forest University's Fulbright Campus Committee, where I interview and evaluate candidates. I know how selection committees think, what makes an application compelling, and where even strong candidates fall short. That insider perspective informs every session I have with a fellowship applicant. My own Fulbright was genuinely life-changing, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than helping others access those same transformative opportunities. I offer a free 15-minute intro call—let's talk about your fellowship goals and how we can pursue them together.

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.
