As a law school coach with a specialty in supporting first-generation law students, I bring a unique blend of empathy, strategic guidance, and personal commitment to my clients’ success. Having navigated the complexities of legal education myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and uncertainties that often accompany the journey, especially for those who are breaking new ground in their families. I’m passionate about coaching because I believe everyone deserves a dedicated ally in their corner—someone who provides tailored advice, boosts confidence, and brings clarity to each step. My coaching style is warm, approachable, and goal-oriented; I focus on helping clients articulate their aspirations, tackle obstacles, and build practical strategies to excel in their legal careers. Whether it’s preparing for the LSAT, refining application essays, or making the most of law school, my goal is to help you reach yours.

About Yoshana

As a first-generation law student from Atlanta and a proud graduate of Albany State University, a historically Black college, I know the journey to law school can be both exciting and challenging—especially without a clear roadmap. I was drawn to law because I wanted to make a positive difference in my community, and I believe that more voices from diverse backgrounds are needed in the legal field. Coaching first-generation law students is deeply personal for me; I understand the hurdles, the doubts, and the drive to succeed against the odds. I’m here to guide you through the application process, help you navigate each step, and support you in reaching your goals with confidence. Let’s make your law school dream a reality—because your voice and vision are needed.

Why do I coach?

Coaching gives me the opportunity to make a real impact in someone’s life, whether it’s through refining their application, building their confidence, or helping them navigate the demands of law school. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that I can provide the mentorship and support I had when applying to law schools, and in doing so, help others achieve their dreams of becoming successful lawyers.
