As a first-generation American and first-generation college student, I know what it means to navigate elite academic and fellowship spaces without a roadmap. I was named a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and was a finalist for the Marshall Scholarship, and have been admitted to fully funded MPA and international policy programs at Stanford, Yale, Princeton (SPIA), Oxford (Blavatnik), and LSE. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of the admissions landscape, they fueled my commitment to helping others break into it. I focus on coaching applicants to top-tier MPA/MPP programs and prestigious fellowships like Knight-Hennessy, Fulbright, and Marshall. I specialize in helping purpose-driven candidates craft authentic, high-impact applications, especially those from nontraditional or underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you need support structuring your essays, preparing for interviews, or making strategic choices about where and how to apply, I bring both personal experience and a clear, collaborative process to help you succeed.
