Top-rated graduate-school admissions coach with experience at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Admissions Office, elite Ivy Advisors consultancy, and Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Career program. I am a good fit for dual / concurrent degree, underrepresented / BIPOC, and international applicants. In my 10 years of coaching, some big wins include helping an individual from Malaysia secure admission to HKS and assisting another candidate with a 3.2 GPA and 145 (Quant) / 158 (Verbal) secure admission to a top 5 MBA with 60% funding. My coaching approach is guided by extensive admissions committee work and the fact that I went through this process myself. I was personally accepted to 5 top MBA programs and the Harvard Kennedy School with over $1 million in scholarship offers. During my time at HKS, I collaborated extensively with the head of the Admissions Office on revamping the AdCom process. I also hosted a 3-part admissions series attended by over 500 applicants on topics such as "The Classroom Experience in a Tri-Sector (private, public, and nonprofit) Environment" and "Navigating HKS as an Underrepresented Minority." Perhaps my biggest achievement in the Admissions Office is founding the Essay Buddy Review Program, pairing 100 current students with prospective applicants and *doubling* the number of Black and Latinx admits after 10 yrs. of stagnation. I am especially helpful to: ◉ candidates who are overwhelmed by the sheer number of essays in applications and want to strategically use each one to showcase a different strength ◉ international applicants looking for guidance on the U.S. program nuances ◉ joint / concurrent degree applicants ◉ candidates seeking scholarship funding ◉ applicants from the private sector who want to demonstrate seriousness for a public policy degree ◉ waitlisted or rejected applicants who want to make a compelling case for their candidacy through informal channels

I help applicants put together strong, well-structured applications for master’s programs in international policy, global affairs, and public policy. If you're looking at schools like Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, or similar, I’ll help you approach the process with clarity and confidence. I’ve been through it myself—successfully. I graduated from Stanford and have worked at the World Bank, UNESCO, and the World Economic Forum. I understand both what these programs look for and how they connect to real-world careers. My approach is straightforward: I help you tell your story in a way that makes sense for you, while making sure your materials are polished, clear, and compelling. Here’s how I can support you: 1) Strategy & School Selection – Clarifying your goals and figuring out which programs align with them 2) Personal Statements – Helping you develop strong drafts with structure, clarity, and impact 3) Resume & Experience Framing – Making sure your background is presented in the best possible light 4) Letters of Recommendation – Guidance on choosing recommenders and setting them up for success 5) Interview Prep – Practicing responses so you can speak about your experience and goals with confidence 6) Fellowships & Funding Strategy – Exploring ways to make grad school financially viable Admissions can feel overwhelming, but I help break it down into manageable steps. I won’t tell you what you should say—I’ll help you figure out how to say what actually matters in a way that resonates.

I am an alumnus of the 7th cohort of Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University, where I earned a Master's of Management Science in Global Affairs between 2022-23 and was selected from competitive pool of 3,000+ applicants (<5% acceptance rate). I bring firsthand experience and deep insights into what makes a successful master's application and I've previously helped advise candidates who have gone on to be accepted to prestigious graduate programs across China, Europe, and the United States. Throughout my educational journey, I've learned how to strategically frame and present one's leadership, academic, and professional accomplishments to highlight their unique strengths and successfully stand out.

I've supported students with admissions to MBA programs, MPH programs, master's of psychology programs, and more.

Hi! I’m here to help you get into your dream master’s program in international policy, public policy, public administration or education - and to support you every step of the way! For policy program applicants: As a recent graduate of the highly competitive Stanford Master’s in International Policy program at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, I know exactly what it takes to stand out in the admissions process. Stanford admits fewer than 30 applicants per year, and I was also accepted into all five programs I applied to, including Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia SIPA, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and Tufts Fletcher. Additionally, I was admitted to elite dual-degree programs with Sciences Po and the University of Toronto’s Munk School, which admit fewer than 10 students annually. For education program applicants: Currently, I work at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, part of the Stanford Graduate School of Education, where I focus on innovation in education and learning. Through my role, I’ve closely mentored students applying to top graduate education programs across the U.S., helping them navigate the complexities of the process and craft compelling applications. I’ve been in your shoes, and I understand how daunting the application process can feel. That’s why my approach is personalized, supportive, and designed to help you present your authentic self. From selecting the right schools and crafting a compelling narrative to perfecting essays and resumes, securing standout letters of recommendation, negotiating financial aid, and making your final decision, I’ll be your partner through it all. As a near-peer mentor, I offer fresh, relevant insights from my recent experiences and understand the nuances of today’s admissions landscape. Together, we’ll create an application that not only showcases your unique strengths but also helps you achieve your academic and professional aspirations. Let’s make your dream school a reality!

I have written roughly ten applications for graduate fellowship programs and was fortunate to be awarded the Rhodes, Truman, and Knight-Hennessy Scholarships to fund the entirety of my graduate education. I've also worked with dozens of applicants with these programs and love helping others find programs that align with their goals, present themselves authentically, and ultimately have fulfilling experiences in graduate school. I have deep expertise in the entire process, from selecting recommenders to writing essays to ultimately interviewing. My students have applied to programs ranging from law school to MBAs to masters and doctorate program in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, so if you're interested in a graduate fellowship please reach out!

Having personally navigated these challenges and co-founded a student chapter of Effective Altruism, I understand how to craft compelling applications that reflect your unique strengths and aspirations. Whether you’re refining your statement of purpose or building a targeted admissions strategy, I’m here to provide personalised guidance to help you achieve your academic and professional ambitions.
