I have a wealth of experience and achievements that uniquely qualify me to be an outstanding coach for students aspiring to enter undergraduate schools. As a graduate of the University of Chicago, I not only completed my studies with distinction but also received recognition as the top female student. This accomplishment speaks to my commitment to academic excellence and sets me apart as a role model for aspiring students. Furthermore, I was awarded scholarships and granted admission to renowned institutions, including Berkeley and other Ivy League schools. These accomplishments serve as concrete examples of the paths that potential clients themselves may aspire to walk, fostering trust and inspiration. Beyond my academic achievements, I have a diverse range of experiences that make me an aspirational coach for students. Throughout high school, I balanced my studies with employment in the restaurant industry, displaying a strong work ethic and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously. As the valedictorian of my high school, I self-studied and successfully completed 17 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, demonstrating my self-motivation and intellectual curiosity. Moreover, my leadership roles as the captain of the Speech and Debate team and an officer of the Model United Nations (MUN) team showcase my effective communication and teamwork skills, which are invaluable assets for navigating the college admissions process. In addition to my accomplishments, I have a unique perspective on the college admissions process. I have experienced the challenges of mental health struggles firsthand, having been hospitalized at multiple points during my educational journey. This personal journey allows me to empathize with the anxieties and pressures that students face during this crucial time. I underwent a transformative period of self-reflection and evaluation in college, ultimately emerging with a clearer understanding of my own purposes and goals. I am passionate about helping others embark on their college journeys with a similar perspective, guiding them to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their aspirations. By sharing my experiences and resources, I aim to make college admissions more accessible and empower students to navigate this process successfully. By incorporating specific examples of achievements, highlighting unique experiences, and sharing aspirational stories, I aim to build trust and resonate with potential clients seeking guidance in their quest to enter undergraduate schools.

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. Besides sitting on Northwestern's alumni admissions council, I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook, so I've spent many hours "on the other side of the table" and can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by interviewers and admissions committees. I enjoy coaching people from a huge range of backgrounds, but I specialize in coaching folks from lower-income families, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from unconventional backgrounds trying to thrive in tech. I myself came from a low-income family and needed help getting connected to resources that would make college feasible for me – I can help you do the same.

I'm currently a Stanford MBA (where I'm the Student Body Co-President), and have 5+years of college admissions coaching experience. Before GSB, I spent time as a teacher (focusing on essay writing and story telling) and as a management consultant. Over the years working in admissions consulting, I have helped students based in the US, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore successfully apply to school. I'm here to help you create a stellar MBA application that can launch you into a top program in a way that tells your authentic story. As a coach, I bring a structured, honest, and tailored approach to the application process. Beyond my teaching experience, I also have a BA in Economics, Psychology, and Creative Writing from Northwestern University through which I learned how to help people navigate their truest stories. I'm particularly experienced at helping prospective MBAs figure out how the MBA would play into their larger goals as people and as professionals. No matter how untraditional the path, I'm skilled at helping applicants frame their diverse experiences in a compelling and cohesive way that resonates with admissions committees. If you want a partner in this process, I'm your guide.

From constructing your personal narrative, resume, and essays with a proven, tailored system to conducting mock interviews until you're tired of my voice, I'll help you along your application journey from beginning to end. I am a Wharton MBA student, West Point graduate, and a U.S. Army Veteran who can work with you to figure out where you should apply and how to get in. I will help you craft and draft your biggest moments of impact for admissions committees, polish your resume to make sure people from all backgrounds can understand your roles and impact, and crush your standardized tests and your interviews. I've helped others gain admission to top undergraduate universities and MBA programs and I look forward to helping you too! A little about my background: I graduated from West Point with degrees in Economics and Sociology in 2019. After graduating, I commissioned as an engineer officer in the U.S. Army and led construction and demolitions teams in Colorado. Then, I functionally specialized in space operations, where I had the privilege of deploying to the Middle East to help create a new major military organization from the ground up. Outside of work, I enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, and experimenting in the kitchen. I’m also a lifelong fan of Washington, D.C. sports teams—which has been a lesson in perseverance if nothing else! Let’s work together to make your next chapter your best yet.

As a recent Duke graduate who has followed the world of college admissions for multiple years, I understand the intricacies of gaining acceptance to top-tier institutions. With a professional interest in STEM but a wide range of personal interests, I have successfully coached many batches of students, landing admission into every Ivy League school, most Ivy+ schools (Duke, MIT, UChicago, etc), and many top-tier public institutions (Michigan, UCLA, Berkeley, etc). During my time at Duke, I had experience as an admissions assistant in the admissions office. Therefore, I have seen what admissions officers at an elite institution think and write down about each application that passes through their hands. My experience also extends beyond admissions; my background is within technology and I have worked at leading tech companies like AWS and Amazon, and currently, I am a key player at high-growth startups in the FinTech and mental health sectors. For college admissions, I can help the most if you have these backgrounds or questions: - You plan on studying STEM but have a variety of extracurricular activities that you feel need "tying together" in your narrative - Aiming for top 15 US colleges (especially if Duke is your dream school) - You come from a historically academically competitive area/district and you may feel you don't know what you bring to the table besides strong academic stats (I was in the same position) Everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve their higher education dreams. I deeply sympathize with what it feels like to be "lost" or question the validity of your story. At the end of the day, everyone has a greater purpose and story beyond their resume. I know the struggle of trying to accurately represent myself while drafting an application, and after working with many others who applied to high-caliber institutions, I know the winning strategy to get that acceptance letter. If you believe this description applies to you well, we are a great fit -- let's connect and craft YOUR winning narrative and application.

With 4 years of experience in college counseling, I have helped over 100 students apply for college and find out what school tailors to their strengths. I provide a thorough assessment of each students' grade point average, standardized test scores, extra curricular activities, sports, jobs, internships, and more in order to help my students craft a compelling college application. With colleges getting more and more competitive each year, it is paramount to have personal statements, essays, and resumes that stand out to admissions committees. I thoroughly review my students' application essays for grammar, style, and content. I also provide feedback to help my students convey their unique stories and personalities effectively. Finally, I work to teach you the intricacies of financial aid, scholarships, and grants. I'll assist you in finding options to make higher education more affordable.
