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.

I take a highly supportive approach to coaching and aim to create an environment in which my clients can be completely open about their worries so I can be the best possible coach for them. That said, you can expect me to be constructively candid – because coaching is about challenging you and accelerating your growth, not making you feel good so I can collect a check. Besides sitting on Northwestern's alumni admissions council, I was an interviewer at both Google and Facebook, so I've spent many hours "on the other side of the table" and can give you a strong sense for how you might be perceived by interviewers and admissions committees. I enjoy coaching people from a huge range of backgrounds, but I specialize in coaching folks from lower-income families, LGBTQ+ candidates, and those from unconventional backgrounds trying to thrive in tech. I myself came from a low-income family and needed help getting connected to resources that would make college feasible for me – I can help you do the same.

College admissions can be stressful and confusing - let me help you and your family navigate the process 👇🏾 🎓 I get it: The admissions process was stressful when I was applying and has only gotten more so ever since. With support from my family, mentors, and high school, I was able to navigate the process, securing admission to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Chicago, Amherst, Georgetown, and NYU Abu Dhabi. I ultimately chose Harvard, a decision that changed my life. I want to help others do the same. 📄 Admissions essay review: Since graduating from Harvard, I've had a successful career in consulting and investment advisory, through which I've honed strong written and verbal communication skills, which I then leveraged to succeed in the master's and J.D. process. I am a strong writer and editor, having won several awards for my book-length undergraduate thesis. I can help you communicate your narrative effectively in a rapidly changing college admissions environment. ♟️ Strategy: The U.S. college admissions process is a game of chess, not checkers. Beyond communicating the narrative, I can help you identify the schools and programs that might be a good fit, provide guidance on the early admissions process, and contextualize the financial aid process.
