Angela’s Master’s Programs Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Hi! I’m here to help you get into your dream master’s program in international policy, public policy, public administration or education - and to support you every step of the way! For policy program applicants: As a recent graduate of the highly competitive Stanford Master’s in International Policy program at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, I know exactly what it takes to stand out in the admissions process. Stanford admits fewer than 30 applicants per year, and I was also accepted into all five programs I applied to, including Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia SIPA, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and Tufts Fletcher. Additionally, I was admitted to elite dual-degree programs with Sciences Po and the University of Toronto’s Munk School, which admit fewer than 10 students annually. For education program applicants: Currently, I work at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, part of the Stanford Graduate School of Education, where I focus on innovation in education and learning. Through my role, I’ve closely mentored students applying to top graduate education programs across the U.S., helping them navigate the complexities of the process and craft compelling applications. I’ve been in your shoes, and I understand how daunting the application process can feel. That’s why my approach is personalized, supportive, and designed to help you present your authentic self. From selecting the right schools and crafting a compelling narrative to perfecting essays and resumes, securing standout letters of recommendation, negotiating financial aid, and making your final decision, I’ll be your partner through it all. As a near-peer mentor, I offer fresh, relevant insights from my recent experiences and understand the nuances of today’s admissions landscape. Together, we’ll create an application that not only showcases your unique strengths but also helps you achieve your academic and professional aspirations. Let’s make your dream school a reality!

About Angela

Hi, I’m Angela! Consider me your strategic partner for admissions, consulting recruitment, and career growth. I hold a graduate degree from Stanford, where I was one of fewer than thirty students admitted annually to the Master’s in International Policy, and I also earned admission to Penn’s prestigious Huntsman Dual Degree program, which accepts only fifty students each year. I went on to found Stanford’s Education Entrepreneurship Hub and today serve as an Entrepreneurship Instructor at Stanford, where I teach high-caliber courses for emerging founders. Beyond Stanford, I’ve been recognized globally as a recipient of multiple competitive fellowships in education technology, social impact, and venture building - experiences that sharpen my ability to coach ambitious professionals navigating elite academic programs and top-tier career paths. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of applicants and early career-changers secure admissions to the world’s most competitive programs and roles, from M7 MBAs and top policy schools like Harvard Kennedy School and Columbia SIPA to offers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, and other leading firms. My clients choose me because I combine insider insight with proven strategy and candid, empathetic guidance that transforms not just their applications but their long-term trajectory. As a former recruiting lead at Deloitte, I reviewed thousands of applications and personally coached candidates into MBB and Big 4 firms, while at Stanford I have mentored founders and students shaping the future of education and work. What sets my coaching apart is a rare combination of perspective and results. I understand what selective institutions and employers are really looking for, I know how to position candidates under high-stakes pressure, and I’ve built a track record of success with clients who face sensitive essay topics, last-minute timelines, or complex career transitions. I’ve even created a career product trusted by 11,000+ early-career professionals, extending my impact far beyond one-on-one coaching. My work is premium because the outcomes are premium. Clients describe me as the person who turns uncertainty into clarity, self-doubt into confidence, and ambitious goals into concrete results. If you’re serious about breaking into the programs and roles that will define your future, let’s connect. Together, we’ll map your goals, confront your challenges, and create a strategy that not only opens doors but positions you for success long after. Your vision is possible. Let’s make it inevitable!

Why do I coach?

I coach because I know what it feels like to wonder if the doors you dream about are really meant for you. For a long time, I thought opportunities like Stanford were for “other people” until a few mentors stepped into my life and believed in me before I fully believed in myself. That changed everything. Their guidance wasn’t just about strategy - it was about reminding me that I belonged in the rooms I was reaching for. That’s exactly the kind of coaching I want to give to you. Yes, we’ll work on the applications, the essays, the interviews, but more than that, I want you to feel seen, supported, and pushed to step into your full potential. To me, coaching is about uncovering your story, clarifying what actually motivates you, and making sure the goals you’re chasing truly align with who you are. By the time you hit submit or walk into that interview, I want you to feel not just prepared, but deeply confident in yourself and the path you’re choosing. That’s the transformation I care about most and why I take such an intensive, personal approach with every client I work with.
