About

I help law school applicants build strategic, authentic, and cohesive applications for top law schools. I was admitted to multiple T14s, including Columbia, NYU, Northwestern, Cornell, and Duke, with more than half-tuition scholarships across offers and a full-tuition scholarship from Columbia. As an international applicant, I also especially enjoy coaching international and first-generation students through personal statements, diversity statements, resumes, school-specific essays, scholarship positioning, and overall application strategy.

Serena’s Law School Qualifications

Coaches professionally

10+ people coached for Law School

Welcome! I’m an incoming J.D. student at Columbia Law School, Hamilton Fellowship recipient, and experienced admissions coach who helps applicants turn their backgrounds into compelling, coherent law school applications. Your law school application should do more than list accomplishments — it should help admissions committees understand who you are, what drives you, and why you belong. I bring years of experience coaching students through highly competitive admissions processes, including helping applicants gain admission to Ivy League and other top universities. I’ve also been through the law school admissions process myself: in a highly competitive cycle, I was accepted to multiple T14 schools, including two T6 schools, and received named scholarship and half-tuition offers. I can help with personal statements, diversity statements, school-specific essays, résumés, recommendation strategy, school selection, interview prep, and scholarship decision-making. My approach is honest, collaborative, and highly personalized. I’ll help you identify what makes your story powerful, avoid generic essay traps, and build an application that feels both authentic and strategically sharp. As an international applicant myself, I’m also passionate about helping other international students present their backgrounds effectively and navigate the U.S. law school admissions process with confidence. Everyone has a story worth telling. Let’s find yours!

Why do I coach?

I coach because I’m genuinely passionate about admissions and love giving applicants the guidance I wish more students had access to. It is extremely fulfilling to help students turn uncertainty into strategy, recognize the power of their own stories, and succeed in a process that can often feel opaque — especially for first-generation and international applicants. My goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and ready to submit an application that truly represents you.
