At the end of the day, becoming a successful lawyer is a game. I don’t mean to trivialize the practice of law, which can be deeply meaningful. But building the legal career you want means navigating a process that is not only expensive and time-consuming, but also fiercely competitive. And here’s one thing virtually all top competitors have in common: an experienced coach. That’s where I come in. I’ve played the game and know it well. During my legal career, I earned admission to a top-five law school, clerked for a future Supreme Court Justice, worked as Special Counsel for a U.S. Senator, and even helped litigate in the Supreme Court on behalf of the President. Getting where you want to go in law takes more than hard work or talent—it takes strategy. And great strategies come from experience, not guesswork. As your coach, I’ll help you define your goals and map out the steps to achieve them. Together, we’ll uncover what makes you unique and compelling as a candidate, and I’ll teach you to craft applications, personal statements, and even emails that get you noticed by law schools, mentors, and employers. Your education and career may be the most important—and highest-stakes—game you ever play. But you don’t have to play it alone! Let’s talk about how we can create your winning strategy.

Hey future colleague! I'm a current JD candidate and Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford Law school. I've been through many "rodeos" when it comes to grueling applications. I know what it's like to have a dream, and I'm here to make yours a reality. When applying to law school, I received acceptances to Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown, NYU, UMichigan, and UC Berkeley (the last of three were all full-ride offers). Beyond applying for law school, I have ample experience with tough interviews, having interviewed for the Rhodes, Marshall, Soros, Knight-Hennessy, Schwarzman, and Truman scholarships. I love helping others get that precious call or email! I've been fortunate enough to help my own friends prepare for job interviews and land roles at McKinsey, JPM, and more. Just bring yourself, and we'll work together to make the magic happen. What are you waiting for? Shoot me a message and let's get to it.

Storytelling has been a throughline of my personal and academic pursuits. With over 5 years of professional writing experience, my unique background in journalism and law equips me with the skills to help you craft a compelling narrative that stands out. After three years as a journalist at HuffPost, I'm now a J.D. Candidate at Columbia Law School — and hope to serve as a resource for those looking to strengthen their writing skills. I attended undergrad at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Morehead-Cain Scholar, a recipient of the nation's first full-ride merit scholarship at the first public university in the U.S. Navigating several rigorous application and interview processes, I also gained admission into Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, the University of Michigan and other institutions. At Carolina, I earned my degree in Media & Journalism and a minor in Hispanic Studies, honing my communication skills and freelancing professionally as a college junior. In addition to interning at various outlets such as Radiolab, the TODAY Show, and the Los Angeles Times, I have written for Teen Vogue, Allure, NBC, ESSENCE, and many other publications. Now, I aim to leverage my experiences to explore law at the intersection of media and entertainment. Whether editing personal statements, refining resumes, or offering interview preparation, I want to impart my skills to students and prospective applicants trying to convey what *their* stories are.

I am a current JD candidate at Stanford Law School and have spent my summers at two reputable firms in New York City, Sullivan & Cromwell and Covington.

My approach is tailored to each individual's strengths and goals, ensuring a comprehensive strategy for applications, essays, and interviews.
