Hi! I am a college admissions consultant with 6+ years of experience providing comprehensive college application support for the entire admissions lifecycle. I’m excited to help you leverage your strengths to succeed in the college application process.

Qualifications & Experience:
I am a graduate of Princeton, where I earned an A.B. in Linguistics and minored in Cognitive Science and Humanities & Sciences. I hold 6+ years of college admissions tutoring experience both in private practice and professional agency settings.

I’ve collaborated with admissions officers from schools including Stanford, Harvard, and MIT, providing insight into the internal application review process. My student placements include Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins (Hodson Trust Scholarship), Duke (Angier Buchanan Duke Scholarship), Carnegie Mellon, and all UC campuses. All of my students have been admitted to at least 1 reach school.

College Application Tutoring Approach: I provide support across developing application themes, school lists, activities lists, application essays, and interview prep.

Initial application screening is usually completed within 10 minutes, so clear narratives and engaging essays are essential to stand out from similarly-successful students.

My college admissions tutoring generally takes the following structure.

Meetings 1-2: Holistic, strategy-based review of interests, achievements, and goals. Begin building a college application narrative and school list. Develop an application timeline.

Meeting 3: Intensive Activity List work, developing detailed entries with clear credentials.

Meeting 4: Personal Statement work. Identify unique topics centered around the application theme, create an outline or draft, and plan the complete essay.

Meetings 5+: Develop supplemental essays and continue refining other application components. Ensure cohesiveness within the complete college application.

College Counseling

I have 6 years of experience in college admissions consulting and application counseling in both a full and part time capacity. I've collaborated with admissions officers from top schools including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, and Columbia, providing insight into the details of admissions and evaluation process. Student results include HYPSM, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, UPenn, Northwestern, UChicago Johns Hopkins w/ Hodson Trust Scholarship, and all UC campuses. 100% of my students have been accepted to at least one Reach school (as evaluated by admissions data and adapted top-5 school admissions scoring metrics).
Debate

Debate

I coached the Speech & Debate team of a prestigious US school (member of the Eight Schools Association and the Ten Schools Admission Organization) in all Speech & Debate events. I've served as an academic mentor to students in Public Forum and Parliamentary debate and multiple Speech events and judged national tournaments in LD and Congressional debate. In college, I was a member of the prestigious Princeton Debate Panel and competed nationally in Lincoln Douglas in high school.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

In my 6+ years of college admissions consulting, I've supported over 100 students in brainstorming, drafting, revising, and finalizing personal statements, supplemental essays, and portfolios with consistent placement at top institutions. I use a holistic brainstorming process, generating topics and narratives based on unique insights into the "student behind the application" that add a creative writing element to essays. I consistently provide 5+ rounds of editing, including tweaking themes and structure, proofreading and editing, and ensuring cohesion with other essays and the broader application narrative.
