As a current J.D. Candidate at Stanford Law School and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, I bring a wealth of experience and insight from a variety of domains. My diverse professional background includes roles at McKinsey & Company, The White House, and fighter aviation in the U.S. Navy—providing me with a unique perspective on getting into multiple high-level, competitive programs.

I found particular success in law school applications, being accepted to 14 of the top 16 programs.

I am a rising 3L at Stanford Law School. I love working with students to craft a cohesive, powerful narrative that reflects their accomplishments so they can gain admission to their dream law school or university. I take a holistic approach, taking time to understand my clients' background, personality, and goals. I do not let median GPAs or test scores or admission rates dictate my clients' application strategy or success. I can also guide students on how to discuss their race and ethnicity in our post-affirmative action reality. By closely studying the U.S. Supreme Court decisions Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v UNC overturning affirmative action, I've been able to help my clients discuss their race and ethnicity in ways that law school admissions offices can legally consider when reviewing their application. Throughout law school, I have completed 5 internships in the public, private, and non-profit sector including a Big Law internship, two state attorney general internships, a local government internship, and an internship at a leading international non-profit environmental advocacy organization. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Environmental Economics and Policy and a B.A. in Urban Studies. In undergrad, I worked as a research assistant and independent researcher while also serving as president of the Berkeley Urban Studies Student Association. I have coached undergrads through their law school application process and high school students through their college admissions process. I have helped undergrad and high school students get admitted to programs where they had well below-median GPAs and/or standardized test scores.

I have over 8 years working in law school admissions in addition to applying and attending law school myself. I have reviewed thousands of law school applications; including personal statements, diversity statements, addendums, and letters of recommendation. I have also served on admissions committees, which put me in the room with professors and other admissions professional to discuss why or why not a student should be admitted to a school. Additionally, as a certified coach, my professional training guides me in working with clients to overcome blocks and build confidence in their self and applications. I work with students in the United States and internationally to get into the law schools of their choice and assist with the entire process including scholarship negotiation.

Don't know any fancy lawyers or Ivy League grads and feeling lost with law school admissions? I'm here to help.

I'm a Stanford Law student with additional acceptances from UChicago, UPenn, and NYU Law. For my undergraduate degree, I attended Emory University on a full-ride and received full tuition to the University of Southern California. I've given resume and essay advice to students admitted to schools like Yale CAS, Cornell CAS, Harvard Law, and NYU Law. I've also provided resume, interview, and casing help to candidates who received offers from McKinsey and Bain. Tell me what makes you tick, and I'll tell you how to talk about it!

As a former Associate Director of Admissions at Stanford Law School, I have read thousands of applications front to back, and have a deep understanding of what top law schools are looking for. It is more than just trying to 'stand out' from the crowd. You will need to craft a highly compelling story so that you convince the admissions committee that you have amazing potential as a law student, AND you will make a valuable contribution. I have many years of experience helping prospective law students gain admission to their dream schools - even those with less than optimal GPAs and LSAT scores. I am a strong believer that an applicant is more than the numbers - but the essay is the make-it or break-it factor. I will be your thought partner and supportive advisor from start to finish. I have expertise developing individualized time lines, school lists, letters of recommendation, resumes, essays (required and optional), character and fitness paragraphs, managing waitlists and even negotiating financial aid awards. I am here to answer any question that may come up throughout this time consuming and oftentimes overwhelming process, and we will have fun working together. You can do this, and I am here to help!

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.
