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.

I'm a recent graduate of Yale Law School with extensive writing and editing experience—from authoring briefs in a federal appeal to editing scholarship for the Yale Law Journal. Before that, I studied political science at Williams College, where I graduated summa cum laude as one of the top four students in my class. I applied to law school straight through from college, and I was admitted to Yale, Stanford, and Harvard. I'm now completing a one-year fellowship in appellate defense before I begin two federal clerkships. Given my background, I'm particularly interested in—and especially well-suited to—help those interested in pursuing public-interest law. But of course, I'd be happy to work with anyone and everyone, whether that's to think through your law school applications; brainstorm essays; or edit personal statements. Just reach out!

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/MBA Candidate at Stanford 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. In college, I also served as an intern in The White House Office of Presidential Personnel, where I was personally responsible for several levels of vetting and admissions for political appointments, granting me back-end experience in insight into the minds of resume-readers. I found particular success in law school applications, being accepted to 14 of the top 16 programs. I have also previously coached a half-dozen individuals in law school admissions through Service to School, a non-profit helping veterans navigate the complexities of law school applications and secure spots at top programs. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that highlights your strengths and sets you apart. Reach out to start your journey to law school success!

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 want to make it easier and more predictable for others to figure out the strategies needed to get into "elite" institutions like the ones I attended - I had to stumble across these strategies myself, and want to take the guesswork out of the process for others! Most importantly: I'm passionate about helping folks figure out their unique Why - so that they can create a career rocket ship, and craft a compelling narrative for it.

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.
