I turned my own skill with graduate-school applications--including admission to the US's top clinical psychology Master's/PhD program--into a way to help other applicants succeed. I do that by helping them find the right stories to tell and put their best foot forward, using my experience/success not only with applications but with writing fiction, narrative non-fiction, screenplays, and other story-driven work. Story is the best way to show admissions committees the "person behind the profile." That's what I help my clients do.

I've coached students through the entire end-to-end application process for masters programs- including school selection and program/student purpose fit, essay writing, and interview prep. Applicants I've worked with have been admitted to schools including Columbia, UPenn, NYU Stern, Cornell, UChicago, Harvard Business School, Stanford Business School, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Emory, Berkeley Haas, and many more. Let's tell your best story together!

Hi! I’m here to help you get into your dream master’s program in international policy, public policy, public administration or education - and to support you every step of the way! For policy program applicants: As a recent graduate of the highly competitive Stanford Master’s in International Policy program at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, I know exactly what it takes to stand out in the admissions process. Stanford admits fewer than 30 applicants per year, and I was also accepted into all five programs I applied to, including Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia SIPA, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and Tufts Fletcher. Additionally, I was admitted to elite dual-degree programs with Sciences Po and the University of Toronto’s Munk School, which admit fewer than 10 students annually. For education program applicants: Currently, I work at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, part of the Stanford Graduate School of Education, where I focus on innovation in education and learning. Through my role, I’ve closely mentored students applying to top graduate education programs across the U.S., helping them navigate the complexities of the process and craft compelling applications. I’ve been in your shoes, and I understand how daunting the application process can feel. That’s why my approach is personalized, supportive, and designed to help you present your authentic self. From selecting the right schools and crafting a compelling narrative to perfecting essays and resumes, securing standout letters of recommendation, negotiating financial aid, and making your final decision, I’ll be your partner through it all. As a near-peer mentor, I offer fresh, relevant insights from my recent experiences and understand the nuances of today’s admissions landscape. Together, we’ll create an application that not only showcases your unique strengths but also helps you achieve your academic and professional aspirations. Let’s make your dream school a reality!

I am a former Stanford and Berkeley MBA admissions officer and as part of my role, I had the privilege of reading joint degree essays for a myriad of programs. Over the past 7 years I have helped clients interested in Master's programs in engineering, environmental sustainability, nursing, public policy, public health, education and more craft compelling personal statements and statements of purpose that highlight the exceptional strengths they would contribute to their program and their motivation for pursuing their intended degree.

I have worked with over 10 people to get into programs like Knight-Hennessy, Rhodes, and Schwarzman Scholars and I personally have gotten myself accepted into Dartmouth, Knight Hennessy Scholars, and GSB/HBS.

I worked at Stanford University for many years, managing admissions processes at several departments. Now I help prospective graduate students apply to their dream graduate programs, applying what I know from working behind the scenes at a top university. My clients get results and I can help you too! My process starts with a questionnaire, followed by a consultation and then covers every aspect of the process from brainstorming through navigating waitlists and scholarship offers. The majority of our process will be essay writing collaboration, which I strongly believe is the most crucial factor of a successful graduate school application. I also help with crafting school lists, figuring out who should write letters of recommendation, putting together addenda if needed, revising resumes, and interview preparation.
