Hi and welcome! 😊 Are you looking to apply to your dream school and secure a scholarship? Happy to help! As an international first-generation student from a low-income family, I successfully navigated the complexities of the application process, gaining admission to prestigious schools such as Harvard, UC Berkeley, London School of Economics, King's College, and Leiden University, securing over $200,000 in scholarships. I am excited to support you with selecting the right school and program, crafting compelling narratives and applications, and finding the right funding opportunities! Over the years, I have gained much experience and look forward to sharing my learnings with you. Before joining grad school, I built the Recruitment department for Germany's largest Women's Leadership network where I helped match our members to leadership positions at companies like Accenture, Deloitte, BMW & VW. In that role, I have seen hundreds of resumes and mastered the skill of matching profiles to application requirements. I hold a Master of Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School. My interdisciplinary academic journey includes coursework at MIT, and Harvard's Law, Divinity, and Education Schools, providing me with a comprehensive perspective on policy, economics, AI governance, and more. During my undergraduate studies in Governance, Economics, and Development at Leiden University's Honors College, I spent an exchange year at UC Berkeley, focusing on Business and Sociology. Financing my education through scholarships from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and Heinrich Boell Foundation, I was also honored to be one of six McCloy Fellowship recipients at Harvard. In the past, I have successfully guided students to prestigious institutions like Cambridge, Oxford, Leiden, Berkeley, Columbia, and Harvard. When you join my coaching program, you'll receive personalized guidance tailored to your unique aspirations. I'm committed to supporting your success and excited to work together to achieve your dreams and potential for impact!

Here's something people don't know about me: prior to business school, I worked on Capitol Hill and for a lobby group of business CEOs. I chose not to go to HKS because I didn't need more politics in my life. However, policy is in my blood, and I love working on the all MPP type applications, including Columbia's SIPA or Georgetown, or Johns Hopkins SAIS. For the Kennedy School, in the two-year and the mid-career program I have close to a 95% success rate. That's because in addition to thinking like a policy wonk, I consider these applications a labor of love. There's no interview for HKS, and the application and resume are demanding! But I'm here for it.

For nearly 15 years, I served as Director of Admissions and Graduate Programs at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), overseeing the admissions and recruitment process for the Master in Public Affairs (MPA), Master in Public Policy (MPP), and Ph.D. programs. In this role, I reviewed thousands of applications and guided prospective students through the highly selective and holistic admissions processes. My work involved leading the admissions committee in close collaboration with faculty, with a strong focus on identifying and supporting future leaders in public service, government, international affairs, and nonprofit sectors. This experience provided me with deep expertise in evaluating academic readiness, professional potential, and mission alignment for graduate study in public policy—and continues to shape how I mentor and advise aspiring graduate students today.

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

As a first-generation American and first-generation college student, I know what it means to navigate elite academic and fellowship spaces without a roadmap. I was named a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and was a finalist for the Marshall Scholarship, and have been admitted to fully funded MPA and international policy programs at Stanford, Yale, Princeton (SPIA), Oxford (Blavatnik), and LSE. These experiences not only deepened my understanding of the admissions landscape, they fueled my commitment to helping others break into it. I focus on coaching applicants to top-tier MPA/MPP programs and prestigious fellowships like Knight-Hennessy, Fulbright, and Marshall. I specialize in helping purpose-driven candidates craft authentic, high-impact applications, especially those from nontraditional or underrepresented backgrounds. Whether you need support structuring your essays, preparing for interviews, or making strategic choices about where and how to apply, I bring both personal experience and a clear, collaborative process to help you succeed.
