Experienced law school admissions counselor with extensive track record of success, including acceptances to all T14 schools. Extensive experience working with students from China and Korea, students with learning disabilities, and anxiety.

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!

As a current JD candidate at Stanford Law School and a magna cum laude graduate from the University of Chicago, I bring a strong academic foundation and a passion for public interest law to my coaching. My experience includes working with Earthjustice and Equal Justice Works, where I worked in legal advocacy and developed resources to streamline our work. I have a deep understanding of the law school admissions process and have been actively involved in student organizations, such as the Stanford Black Law Students Association and the Journal of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. I am here to help you navigate your law school applications, from developing your application list and writing personal statements to preparing for interviews. I'm here to work with you to make your law school dreams a reality!

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.

At the end of the day, becoming a successful lawyer is a game. I don’t mean to trivialize the practice of law, which can be deeply meaningful. But building the legal career you want means navigating a process that is not only expensive and time-consuming, but also fiercely competitive. And here’s one thing virtually all top competitors have in common: an experienced coach. That’s where I come in. I’ve played the game and know it well. During my legal career, I earned admission to a top-five law school, clerked for a future Supreme Court Justice, worked as Special Counsel for a U.S. Senator, and even helped litigate in the Supreme Court on behalf of the President. Getting where you want to go in law takes more than hard work or talent—it takes strategy. And great strategies come from experience, not guesswork. As your coach, I’ll help you define your goals and map out the steps to achieve them. Together, we’ll uncover what makes you unique and compelling as a candidate, and I’ll teach you to craft applications, personal statements, and even emails that get you noticed by law schools, mentors, and employers. Your education and career may be the most important—and highest-stakes—game you ever play. But you don’t have to play it alone! Let’s talk about how we can create your winning strategy.

I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, and earned my degrees in French and Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I went on to pursue my Juris Doctor (JD) at Duke University School of Law — an experience that deepened my love for the study of law. While I briefly worked in the legal field, I quickly realized that what truly inspired me wasn’t practicing law — it was helping others find their path through education. That realization led me to pivot into the field of international higher education, where I discovered my passion for mentoring students through the admissions process. For over 15 years, I’ve worked in university admissions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a former admissions officer, I’ve reviewed hundreds of applications from students around the world. My experience includes serving as the Assistant Director of Recruitment and Admissions at the University of Chicago Booth Executive MBA program, where I gained firsthand insight into what top-tier programs look for in standout candidates. I spent over a decade living in Hong Kong, where I worked with both local and international students on applications to law school, MBA, Master’s, and undergraduate programs. Now based back in Raleigh, I continue to support students worldwide as they pursue their academic and professional goals. Whether you're applying to T14 law schools or exploring a specialized legal program, I bring a unique blend of legal training, admissions experience, and global perspective to help you craft a compelling, authentic application.
