As a medical student, I saw the value in pursuing multiple complementary degree programs to help bolster my training and perspectives on the world. As a coach, I help prospective students navigate the difficult hurdles often faced when preparing to apply, enroll, and thrive in these programs.

I am a former PPIA fellow at Princeton's School of Public Affairs and I completed my MPP from the University of Oxford where I was a financial award recipient. I also took courses at Harvard Kennedy School while I was a JD student at Harvard Law School. I have a solid understanding of different policy and public administration programs and strategies for aspiring applicants.

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!
