Former Head Admissions Consultant | Acceptances include Cornell, MIT & Duke

With a B.A. in Government from Harvard University and nearly 10 years of international education and admissions experience, I specialize in guiding students to highly competitive colleges. As a former Head Admissions Consultant at Prepstart, I led a team that successfully helped students gain admission to Top 20 schools like MIT, Cornell, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern . At Crimson Education, I perfected the art of personalized strategy. I help students discover their most meaningful stories before crafting compelling applications that have resulted in successful admission to Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, and many others. Having coached over 100 students, I am adept at navigating the admissions process from high school freshman year to college matriculation by creating precise roadmaps for profile development. In addition to domestic students, I have worked with internationals from China, South Korea, South Africa, The UAE, and many others. I understand how to help students stand out within their context. Let's work together to create a standout application that gets you where you want to go.
