Business

With a twenty-year history of clients in top schools like Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, Tufts, Northwestern, Boston College, MIT, USC, UC Schools and many more, and a 97% acceptance rate, I draw on proven academic and essay development strategies to deliver a superior edge aimed at acceptance. As an admissions-savvy expert, Silicon Valley strategy specialist, and accomplished authors intimately aware of the best methods at getting you accepted, I've spent over twenty years placing applicants with top-ranking universities, business schools, legal schools, and medical schools. I specialize in guiding applicants through the complex process of college admissions. After building your acceptance strategy, I help you define your unique selling points then develop an essential connection between you and your chosen admissions committee. I work with you to define and execute a critical road map for making your college acceptance a reality, including school selection, drafting and developing convincing essays, submitting a polished application, delivering a confident interview, then step-by-step planning when choosing from your list of acceptances.

Career Development

A Silicon Valley native, I guide executives through leadership advancement, competitive differentiation, and strategy development so that each achieves individual and team-level success. After beginning my career in branding and positioning strategy at Silicon Valley’s #1 ranked public relations firm, I went on to apply my expertise toward career advancement and leadership consulting in the high-tech, financial, and medical fields. As a bestselling author, my business articles, essays, and creative works have appeared in publications throughout America and Europe. In my work as an accomplished executive coach and leadership consultant, I blend Silicon Valley marketing magic with a track record of turning intelligent visions into realities, creating success story after success story for clients. An MBA Candidate at the Marshall School of Business, I am an active member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), having completed my ICF-approved Coaching and Team Coaching Certifications. Having also earned my Executive Master of Leadership degree from the University of Southern California, my focus involved proven methods for reaching collective excellence as leaders and in team settings. With my MFA in creative writing and a history of public speaking, I bring superior written and verbal communication skills that give your projects a polished, professional, competitive advantage.

English

With an MFA in creative writing and BA in English Literature/career writing, I have guided many college and business school applicants through improving their writing skills, articulating their worth, and gaining acceptances to top colleges and business school programs.

Public Speaking

As a paid public speaker and leadership coach, I specialize in creating settings so that speakers feel confident and at ease with an audience. Through a series of exercises and role-playing, I have worked with several professionals and business school applicants who needed to deliver public presentations, articulate their worth in front of groups, and even excel at interviews. The results have always been favorable. I look forward to supporting you through preparing your presentation and polishing your delivery!
