I'm a former undergraduate admissions officer at BYU, a former Assoc. Director of the MBA program at UC Irvine, and a full-time college prep coach.

I have a unique blend of experience and skills that make me a very strong admissions consultant. First, I have spent over 20 years in various senior management roles in marketing, product marketing and business development giving me a strong set of marketing and branding skills that are essential for any candidate to stand out. Second, I am a very strong writer and had publications published in various journals. That allows me to help applicants craft a strong, unique, differentiated and very well written story across all of the applications. Third, as a graduate of top schools such as Northwestern and Stanford I have had personal success in getting into top institutions and can speak from experience not just theory. I have also been an undergraduate admissions interviewer for Stanford admissions for 5 years, gaining valuable admissions qualifications experience. Finally I am very customer focused and task driven and always give a 100% effort to make sure my clients get the best results.

With over 8 years of experience in selective undergraduate admissions and coaching, I know all the ins and outs of navigating the complicated U.S. college admissions process from anywhere in the world. I believe that with the right support and guidance, you can find yourself studying at a great U.S. university for you. Why work with me? 1. I know what it takes to get in. I'm an admissions expert. As an Assistant Director of Admission at Stanford, I personally reviewed ~7,000 undergraduate applications. My portfolio included various regions in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Ireland, and the UK. Before Stanford, I was an alumni interviewer for Harvard, I interned for Harvard Admissions' student recruitment initiatives, even supported their application file room. 2. I know how to help you apply as your best self. I am a global admissions consultant with clear results. For 3 years, I advised students from the U.S. and around the world for a top global college admissions consulting company. 75% of the students I coached were admitted to the most selective universities (keep in mind the extra obstacles that international applicants face - so this is significant!). My clients were admitted to private and public universities like Yale, Brown, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, UC San Diego, UVA, Georgia Tech, Grinnell, Babson, UIUC, Drexel, University of Washington, and Boston University. As an independent consultant working both pro bono and for my consultancy, Eleva Edge Admissions, my clients were admitted to Harvard, Emory, Pomona, UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, Penn, and others. I've coached ~50 student clients directly over multi-year coaching programs. I have completed additional application reviews for 50+ one-off clients. I share these variety of universities to show the breadth of colleges my students applied to. Yes, many got into elite colleges, and they also applied or attended colleges outside the "Top 20." There are many incredible schools out there, and I love helping students discover universities that are a good match for their goals, regardless of the ranking. 3. I get it. From the beginning of my own higher ed career, I've been committed to supporting educational journeys with a focus on personal growth. I graduated from Harvard with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master of Education in International Education Policy. I also graduated from the University of Oxford with an MBA, so I understand firsthand the experience of figuring out how to study abroad in a different country. I was a first-generation college student from immigrant parents, and had to figure everything out own my own. I grew a lot but it was challenging, confusing, and stressful. It doesn't have to be like that for you. I believe that with the right guidance, students can view the application process as a time of incredible personal development and self-awareness. My approach is personalized, empathetic, and strategic, ensuring that your unique strengths and experiences shine through in your application.

Hi! I'm a Dartmouth alum and creative writer, focused on helping students craft the best personal narrative for college admissions success. I specialize in helping people craft personal stories that are authentic and memorable to admissions committees and then support you in writing the very best essays! Students I've supported have gotten into the top schools in the country.

I am passionate about empowering individuals through career coaching, particularly international students navigating the application process to universities in the USA. With a proven track record, I have helped numerous students edit their college essays and Common App essays, ensuring they effectively showcase their unique stories and capabilities. My approach is personalized and supportive, aiming to build confidence and clarity in each student's application journey.

My unique approach provides 1:1 coaching plus a unique and highly successful approach to application and essay strategy.

Being the daughter of immigrations, oldest of three siblings AND a first generation college student here in the US, you could say that I had a lot of hurdles to jump over when I was applying to undergrad. Having my residency status stacked against me as an international student, I discovered the hard way how difficult getting into a competitive undergrad program could be when you do not have the right tools to help yourself. Since then, I have always made an effort to work with high school students specifically so that I can pay forward everything that I learned. While i was able to figure things out on my own - there was so much struggle that I would not wish on anyone else. Whether you are a citizen or not, I would be happy to help guide you through the undergraduate application process. We can discuss schools to apply too and work on your application and essays together to give you the best chances of getting into the school of your dreams.

As a former Harvard Admissions Officer, Berkeley Application Reader, College Counselor (at a top 5 independent school in the US), and a Coca-Cola Scholar Application Reader, I have read 1000s of applications and helped 100s of students through the admissions process.
