I worked in Emory University's Undergraduate Admission Office for four years, where I recruited and read applications from students across the country. There, I gained valuable insight into the undergraduate admission and merit scholarship selection process, and I understand the component parts necessary for a competitive application.

I have deep insight into the Ivy League admissions world from my 3.5 years as a Recruitment Coordinator for Yale University, where I was a part of both prospective and admitted students yield strategies and fostered great relationships with admissions officers. As a hired Senior Interviewer for Yale, I interviewed 120+ prospective students (including international and QuestBridge students), which gave me insight into what works and doesn't work in a college interview. I started to help high school students put together their college applications in the years after my graduation, helping them achieve admission to the likes of Harvard, MIT, and Williams College. I focus on holistic application support - from choosing one's majors to the big boss: writing the personal statement to the supplementary essays and finally to interview prep. I'm looking forward to working with passionate and driven students!

College admissions can be incredibly daunting. I remember being in your shoes and wondering what I should write, where I should apply, and what to say during my interviews. Ten years later, I have been through this process several times now to gain admission to college and medical schools. My experience has taught me that it is incredibly important to spend time reflecting on your goals and how your background has helped you formulate them. Only then can you begin to craft a stellar application that will not only stand out to admissions committees, but also stay true to yourself. When done correctly, the process of applying to college should help you better understand what you want out of your education and why. I look forward to working with you closely to answer these questions and distill them into the perfect application.
