UCLA Alum | Essays and Personal Branding for College Applicants

UCLA graduate and college admissions coach, with a background in management consulting at PwC Japan and venture capital at Techstars, Plug and Play, and Rainmaking APAC, where I saw up close what makes people and ideas stand out when they’re backed by real work rather than polish. I also advised students on US applications as a counselor at a study-abroad academy. I coach students to turn genuine interests into real, verifiable projects, then into authentic applications. My approach borrows from the startup world. I help students find a real question, build it into something tangible (a product, a nonprofit, a research project, etc.), and then tell that story in their own voice. I help them think more clearly through the process, so the result is authentically theirs. I work with students and families in English, Japanese, and Korean, and I’m especially glad to support international students and those navigating the US system from outside it, since I’ve been there myself.
