I currently coach World Schools and Parliamentary debate at The Nueva School in San Mateo, CA as well as at Sage Hill High School remotely.

I absolutely love connecting with and inspiring students of all ages and using my extensive experience to act as a "players coach", facilitating my coaching with personal anecdotes and examples. I cover all speaking roles, impromptu prep, winning strategies, and speaking style. Another unique aspect of my coaching is my understanding of the role of the judge. I have chaired many final rounds and understand the decision-making process of judging quite well, and I always urge my students to use certain strategies to cater to the judge and make their decisions as easy as possible.

In addition to debate, my background as a writer includes work for UC Berkeley's student newspaper, freelance articles and recipes, published academic work in undergraduate journals, and a 45-page senior thesis on the intersection between spirituality and counseling psychology. Aside from college essays, I am more than prepared to help you work on any essays of your choice thanks to my wide range of published works.

Approved Subjects

College Counseling

College Counseling

At UC Berkeley mentored community college students to assist in the UC transfer process. My training included navigating required courses, understanding major requirements, accessing resources available to community college students, and providing essay support. The main focus of this training was to understand what the UC system looks for in accepting students. I also received workshops from admissions counselors as a part of my training.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

Following years of competitive experience, I coached an active high school team in the World Schools Debating Championships format. I specialized in case feedback, research assistance, debating style, speech feedback, and winning strategies. I also provided judging for debate tournaments, occasionally paid or brought in to judge final rounds due to my tournament experience.
Religion

Religion

I wrote a 45-page research paper on the role that religion and spirituality played in mental health and subjective reports of well-being, as well as the role of spirituality and religion in counseling psychology. In addition to this, I extensively studied religion through courses at community college and undergrad relating to Christian religious philosophy, East Asian and Tibetan Buddhism, and Indian philosophy.
Sociology

Sociology

My undergraduate degree is entitled Interdisciplinary Studies, which is an interdisciplinary social science degree. Our studies were founded upon sociological theories and often incorporated other disciplines, such as philosophy, public health, economics, or data science, but all were integrated into sociological issues. In addition, I took multiple courses on research in social science and wrote a senior thesis based on sociological research methods.
