This package is designed for motivated Master’s applicants who want to build a strong application foundation with expert support—without committing to a full, end-to-end engagement. Whether you're just starting your Master’s journey or looking to clarify your direction, this flexible option helps you focus on what matters most, right now. You’ll partner with a Leland coach to strategically tackle the parts of the process that will have the greatest impact. Your coach will help you prioritize your time, identify key areas of opportunity, and build momentum toward your target programs. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: - Initial kickoff and planning session: Dive into your background, goals, and timeline to co-create a personalized game plan. - Profile evaluation: Get honest, strategic feedback on your strengths, gaps, and overall competitiveness for your target programs. - Program selection: Curate a list of Master’s programs that align with your academic interests, professional goals, and personal preferences. - Application strategy: Define the key differentiators in your story and map how they’ll come through across your materials. - Essay brainstorming & editing: Explore pivotal experiences and uncover strong thematic angles to anchor your narrative. - Resume review: Reframe your resume to highlight academic achievements, research, leadership, or professional experience—tailored to Master’s admissions. - Recommender strategy and prep: Select the best combination of recommenders and equip them with thoughtful prep documents.

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!
