Welcome to my profile! As a Fulbright Researcher at the Technical University of Munich, I am deeply immersed in the world of computer vision and artificial intelligence. With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Columbia University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude, I have a strong foundation in both technical and mathematical disciplines. Throughout my career, I have worked as a Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, where I developed strategies and implemented technical capabilities, and as a Software Engineer at several startups, working on full stack development. With my diverse background and expertise, I am here to guide you through the college admissions process and help you achieve your academic goals. Don't hesitate to reach out and let's start working together!

Hi! I’m a first-generation college grad, Stanford alumna (MBA, BA Economics & Communication, Phi Beta Kappa) and writing/career coach who has found my calling in helping others to pursue their educational dreams. I provide personalized, knowledgeable, trusted support to diverse US and international students at every step of the admissions process. By working together, you will: • Access deep admissions expertise gained from years of direct experience: interviewer, applications reader, Stanford minority admissions advisory representative, pro bono admissions consulting, member of professional educational consulting organizations, quoted by US News. I’ll demystify college admissions and help you to make informed choices. • Stand out by crafting authentic, insightful personal statements that uniquely reflect your background, values, experiences and goals. You don’t need to love writing. I’ll help you to identify not only what to communicate, but also how to communicate clearly, concisely and compellingly. • Explore and pursue academic and career interests. What do you want to study and pursue as a career? Don’t know – no problem! Most educational consultants specialize in college admissions only; they focus on what it takes to get into college and stop there. Not us! As a career coach and graduate school/MBA admissions consultant, I also help college students and working professionals to achieve their longer-term goals. I enjoy serving as a knowledgeable and supportive sounding board and mentor. Together, we’ll identify strategies and actions you can take in high school and college to achieve your academic and career goals (colleges want to know this!). I’ve enjoyed diverse, non-traditional work opportunities spanning international business, tech and marketing, strategy and communications at startups, nonprofits and corporations in the US, Europe and Asia. I draw on my experiences and extensive network. Engineering, medicine, and business are great fields but we’ll also explore emerging and lesser known careers as well. I bring a “can do,” non-judgmental and strategic approach to helping you think about your future. • Build a customized, balanced list of schools where you can thrive. There are thousands of colleges in the US alone; the question we’ll focus on isn’t whether you’ll get into a great college (trust me, you will!), but rather, how do we identify a short list of schools where you will thrive. Every year, I visit different college campuses and attend workshops and presentations to find schools that may not be on everyone else’s list but represent a great match for you. I continue to follow trends and changes in higher education. I tap deep roots in the Stanford community where I’m an active alumna, pro bono alumni consultant, minority/DEI initiative leader, and class secretary who’s been honored for my volunteer service by Stanford. • Benefit from personalized, responsive support at every step of the application process. I work closely with a limited number of diverse, motivated US and international high school students each year. You will be able to: o Identify strategies and action plans for making the most of high school o Write essays that elevate you from being a qualified applicant to a compelling one o Navigate the college admission process with less stress and uncertainty and better outcomes.

I have taught and mentored students for five years in both a one-on-one and classroom setting. I have a passion for teaching reading and writing to help students prepare for the college application process, standardized tests, and beyond. One of my biggest strengths is tailoring teaching to each individual student to help them understand on a level that gives them the confidence they need when they press submit on that application. I am also a planning guru and have many years of experience coaching students on timed writing and planning to get essays written amidst a sea of other assignments and extra-curriculars. Together, we will not only polish grammar and sentence structure but also tell your stories in a strong, compelling way. Want help with your application resume too? We can do that, too! I have professional experience editing resumes for a government consulting company.

Waitlisted at my dream school and worked the system to get admitted. Let me share my strategies with you and help you land your top choice!
