About Katie


Bio

Hi! I’m Katie — a college and film school application coach, filmmaker, and writer. I help people who are creatively curious but stuck finally begin, whether that’s a school application, personal statement, or creative project they’ve been thinking about for a while.

Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to start. After working together, they often feel calmer, clearer, and more confident, like things finally make sense and the next step feels exciting to take.

Hi! I’m Katie — a college and film school application coach, filmmaker, and writer. I help people who are creatively curious but stuck finally begin, whether that’s a school application, personal statement, or creative project they’ve been thinking about for a while.

Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to start. After working together, they often feel calmer, clearer, and more confident, like things finally make sense and the next step feels exciting to take.

I grew up in Seoul and studied film at NYU Tisch before earning my MFA in directing and screenwriting from Columbia University. I’ve been mentoring students for 10 years, including international students, and recently helped a student get into their dream school (NYU)!

I don’t coach by pushing. I coach by slowing things down, creating a safe, judgment-free space, and helping you see what’s already there so you can trust yourself enough to begin.

If you’re feeling unsure but ready to start, I’d love to work together 😊.

I have nearly 10 years of experience tutoring and mentoring students through the college and film school application process. I earned my undergraduate degree in film from NYU and an MFA in directing and screenwriting from Columbia University, and I understand how selective programs evaluate applicants. I specialize in helping students clarify their story, develop strong essays and creative materials, and present themselves with confidence and authenticity. I’ve worked with students across all majors, including international and first-generation applicants, and recently helped a student gain acceptance to their dream school (NYU).
