I draw on my own college experience, my past clients' process, and my time as a Harvard alumni admissions interviewer to inform your admissions journey. Additionally, my childhood in a multilingual household and my experience working overseas makes me uniquely positioned to help students who studied outside of the US or for whom English is not a native language.

Background: I am a graduate of Harvard College, where I majored in Cultural Anthropology and studied Spanish, Korean, and Japanese. As the oldest son of immigrant parents from Japan and Mexico, and the first in my family to graduate from college, I understand the socioeconomic and cultural barriers many students face in pursuing their educational, professional, and personal goals. For over 17 years, I have been dedicated to supporting students and families from all backgrounds in strategically overcoming many of these challenges. During my undergraduate years, I lived and studied abroad in Seoul, South Korea; Bangalore, India; Cape Town, South Africa; and Buenos Aires, Argentina, focusing on sustainable development, urbanization, culture, politics, and history. I have since traveled to 36 countries and 46 U.S. states, broadening my global perspective. While at Harvard, I was actively involved in intramural sports, cultural organizations such as RAZA and Fuerza, and educational non-profits. My passion lies in empowering students to make a meaningful impact in their communities. Track Record: Since 2011, I have worked directly with hundreds of high school students and spoken to thousands more across every continent, helping them navigate the U.S. college admissions process. My advising has led to successful admissions at top institutions, including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago, and many others. I help students find colleges that align with their personal and academic goals, because I believe that a great fit leads to a better college experience and better results. Additionally, I assist students in brainstorming and developing capstone projects that enhance their application profiles and provide comprehensive essay and application revisions. Professional Experience: I worked at the Harvard Admissions Office as an HFAI and UMRP coordinator for four years and continue to interview prospective students as a Harvard alumni interviewer for the Southwest Region of the United States. After graduating, I joined Google in Mountain View, CA, where I focused on applicant resume reviews, interviews, performance evaluations, and various projects across engineering and sales teams. My post-Google experience includes work with non-profits in healthcare, tech, and business, as well as a local Mathnasium center. I would love to learn more about the support you're looking for and how I can help your student succeed. Please feel free to reach out!
