Welcome to my profile! As a Product Manager at Microsoft, I bring a unique perspective to college coaching. I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Economics, where I was a College Honors Merit Scholar and a Grace Hopper Scholar. Throughout my time in college, I was actively involved in various organizations such as CruzHacks, Google Developer Student Clubs, and Tech4Good. I also gained valuable experience as a Research Assistant in data analytics and UX & qualitative analysis. With my background in technology and a deep understanding of the college admissions process, I'm here to help you navigate the complexities and achieve your goals. Let's connect and discuss how I can support you in your college journey!

Growing up I was often lost & misguided when it came to discussions about college. I had so many people telling me different things and I was always confused on what truly makes an applicant great. I then became obsessed with this topic. Luckily, I was able to learn from career admission consultants, former ivy league admission officers, etc about all of the misconceptions about application processes and what truly makes a great candidate. Due to this, I was able to earn a seat at Harvard Business School. My goal is to pass my teachings along to the next generation and help my clients not only be admitted to their choice of schools but also create strong career plans that will help set up their entire lives.

Getting into a top university takes more than just good grades—it requires a strategic approach, a compelling application, and a strong personal narrative. As a UCLA graduate, I understand the competitive admissions landscape firsthand and have successfully helped candidates gain admission to prestigious schools like UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, and more. My coaching services include: Personalized Application Strategy – Tailoring your application to highlight your unique strengths and experiences. Essay & Personal Statement Guidance – Crafting compelling essays that stand out to admissions committees. Extracurricular & Leadership Positioning – Showcasing the right activities to strengthen your application. Interview Preparation – Building confidence and articulation for competitive interviews. Comprehensive Application Review – Ensuring every part of your application aligns with your goals. With a results-driven approach and a deep understanding of what top schools are looking for, I’ll guide you through every step of the application process. Let’s work together to make your college dreams a reality!

While I was preparing for my university applications, I recognized that one of the most important components of the application is the essay and having a hook in extracurricular activities. It's not the GPA/SAT score like many believe (which in actuality is only a checkbox for the admissions committee). I was able to fully understand how the admissions committee evaluates an application after reading my Stanford application and the admission committee comments on there. Beyond the basics of the application from helping with SAT prep and extracurricular planning, I will focus my time on being able to translate your extracurricular activities into a meaningful essay and supplementals.

I'm currently a Stanford MBA (where I'm the Student Body Co-President), and have 5+years of college admissions coaching experience. Before GSB, I spent time as a teacher (focusing on essay writing and story telling) and as a management consultant. Over the years working in admissions consulting, I have helped students based in the US, Hong Kong, China, and Singapore successfully apply to school. I'm here to help you create a stellar MBA application that can launch you into a top program in a way that tells your authentic story. As a coach, I bring a structured, honest, and tailored approach to the application process. Beyond my teaching experience, I also have a BA in Economics, Psychology, and Creative Writing from Northwestern University through which I learned how to help people navigate their truest stories. I'm particularly experienced at helping prospective MBAs figure out how the MBA would play into their larger goals as people and as professionals. No matter how untraditional the path, I'm skilled at helping applicants frame their diverse experiences in a compelling and cohesive way that resonates with admissions committees. If you want a partner in this process, I'm your guide.

I've helped multiple friends and family members get into BYU Undergrad. My style is fun & optimistic. Making the annoying, overwhelming tasks feel doable.

I am a 2021 Wharton graduate, with 2 years of professional application coaching experience. During my MBA, I coached 15+ MBA students with career guidance, resume critiques, and interview prep. I first encountered coaching when I was applying to matriculate as an MBA in 2019. At that time, I realized how important an application coach could be, not only for the specialized toolset and knowledge base, but also for the encouragement during a high pressure application process. I am motivated to be that source of calm and focus during what can otherwise be a stressful application process. I am excited to dive into your background and help you uncover a narrative that will help you show you stand out to top programs.

While I was in college, I worked for two years as a Student Outreach Mentor for GEAR UP, a federally-funded program designed to help students prepare for college. In this role, I mentored students 1:1 to help them complete the FAFSA, prepare for the ACT/SAT, and apply for college and scholarships. Personally, I've received over $150,000 worth of scholarships for undergraduate and grad school, and I can help with identifying opportunities, crafting your story, writing essays, and highlighting other accomplishments.

Attended UC Berkeley for Computer Science, graduated in 2024. I was a TA for the famous CS 61B Data Structures course for 4 semesters and served as Head Teaching Assistant. I was admitted to top Computer Science undergrad programs at UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, UIUC, University of Maryland.
