Welcome to my profile! As a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford, I have firsthand experience navigating the competitive landscape of prestigious scholarships and fellowships.

These include non-traditional candidates including those with public service and military background. If you're aiming to stand out in your application process, let's connect and craft a strategy that highlights your unique strengths and potential.

Through the MIT Communication Lab, I have coached over 50 students in applying for prestigious fellowships and scholarships. In this process, I have helped 5 different students receive the Rhodes, Gates, Schwarzman, Knight-Hennessy, and Fulbright awards across different countries. I'm very familiar with the application processes as well as the writing frameworks necessary to build a competitive application.

I am an alumnus of the 7th cohort of Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University, where I earned a Master's of Management Science in Global Affairs between 2022-23 and was selected from competitive pool of 3,000+ applicants (<5% acceptance rate). I bring firsthand experience and deep insights into what makes a successful master's application and I've previously helped advise candidates who have gone on to be accepted to prestigious graduate programs across China, Europe, and the United States. Throughout my educational journey, I've learned how to strategically frame and present one's leadership, academic, and professional accomplishments to highlight their unique strengths and successfully stand out.

Applied to three top medical schools, got into all of them, and chose Stanford Medicine on a full financial package. Applied to one business school, Stanford GSB, and got in. I was also selected as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. I wrote every part of my applications independently, with no external reviewers or help. Over the last five years, I’ve helped dozens of people get into top med schools, MBA programs, and win prestigious scholarships. I’ve worked closely with Stanford Medicine admissions in the past. While I’m not currently involved, have no say in admissions outcomes, and cannot guarantee acceptance, I can offer helpful behind-the-scenes insight. My goal is to help you and your story shine. I specialize in crafting compelling applications, telling powerful stories, guiding your recommenders to write standout letters, and building a clear strategy that makes your profile stand out. I’ve also won multiple grants, scholarships, and fellowships, and can help you navigate that process too. If you’re applying to med school, business school, or a major scholarship, I’d love to help you succeed.

I have completed three prestigious law fellowships, and am the recipient of several scholarships relating to law or international study. I am all too familiar with the financial burden law school and student abroad programs place on students, and I am well-equipped to help them find the best path to reaching their goals.

Hello! I have extensive experience personally applying for and coaching others through various scholarships. I was in the first cohort of Knight Hennessy Scholars at Stanford, with an acceptance rate under 1%, and served as a peer interviewer and admissions ambassador for the program. I love helping people bring out their authentic selves and accomplishments in scholarship applications.

Welcome to my profile! As a Senior Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company, I have honed my skills in problem-solving and strategic analysis, which are crucial for securing prestigious scholarships and fellowships. I am currently a Schwarzman Scholar, a testament to my ability to navigate competitive selection processes. My academic journey includes graduating as the Valedictorian from Morehouse College with a 4.0 GPA and participating in Harvard Business School's Peek Weekend, where I developed a deep understanding of leadership challenges. I am passionate about helping others achieve their academic and professional goals, and I am here to guide you through the intricacies of scholarship applications. Let's work together to craft a compelling application that stands out. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can assist you in your journey!

I helped 4 people gain admission to Schwarzman Scholars in 2025 alone, including both candidates from "target" and "non-target" schools as well as US and non-US candidates. I've seen how the program can transform lives, and I'd love to help you craft a compelling application that highlights your unique strengths and potential. Reach out to start your journey towards securing this exciting opportunity!

I'm a recent Schwarzman Scholar and Princeton in Asia Fellow, and I was also a Semi-Finalist for the Fulbright Nehru Open Study/Research Award (India). I have extensive experience both as an applicant and advisor for these scholarship/fellowship programs and similar ones in the leadership and international space.
