Welcome! When I was starting my undergraduate journey, a mentor encouraged me to take big risks, aim high, and make the most of every opportunity. That advice changed my life. Since then, I’ve built a strong network of mentors and peers who have pushed me to keep striving for more in my career and education. I was accepted into top master’s programs, including Columbia’s MA in Emergent Media Studies and NYU’s MA in Media, Culture, and Communication, so I understand what it takes to craft a compelling application. Now, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Whether you’re applying to programs in Communication, Sociology, Media Studies, Anthropology, Political Science, Science and Technology Studies (STS), or related social sciences, I can guide you through every step—from refining your personal statement to interview prep and overall application strategy.
