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.

More than 20 years of experience working with prospective and admitted students for top law schools in the United States. Can focus on the application and career prospects.

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!

Don't know any fancy lawyers or Ivy League grads and feeling lost with law school admissions? I'm here to help. A first-generation Uzbek-Uighur immigrant, I currently attend Stanford Law School as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and have helped students gain admission to Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, UPenn, NYU, Michigan, and other top law schools. Let me help you demystify the law school admissions process and chart a path towards your dream life.

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.

As a law school coach with a specialty in supporting first-generation law students, I bring a unique blend of empathy, strategic guidance, and personal commitment to my clients’ success. Having navigated the complexities of legal education myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and uncertainties that often accompany the journey, especially for those who are breaking new ground in their families. I’m passionate about coaching because I believe everyone deserves a dedicated ally in their corner—someone who provides tailored advice, boosts confidence, and brings clarity to each step. My coaching style is warm, approachable, and goal-oriented; I focus on helping clients articulate their aspirations, tackle obstacles, and build practical strategies to excel in their legal careers. Whether it’s preparing for the LSAT, refining application essays, or making the most of law school, my goal is to help you reach yours.

I know what it feels like to dream big--I didn't know anyone who had attended an Ivy League school when I started thinking about law school. If you're excited by the idea of getting into a reach school but don't know where to start, I'd love to help you along the way! I'm now three years into practice as an attorney (law clerk --> public defender) and would love to share my passion for law school and lawyering with you.
