I bring a mix of academic, athletic, and coaching experience to the subjects I tutor. I'm a Computer Science graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and I've spent years editing personal statements and college application essays for students who went on to be admitted to top schools including UC Berkeley, UT Austin, UIUC, Carnegie Mellon, and Cornell. I know what a competitive application looks like from the inside, and I help students find their authentic voice and tell a story that feels genuine while tightening structure, clarity, and flow.
On the fitness side, I'm a NASM-certified personal trainer and nutritionist as well as a competitive bodybuilder who qualified for and competed at the Junior National level. I've also worked as a posing coach, helping competitors present their physiques with confidence on stage. Whether someone is prepping for their first show, building strength and muscle, or simply learning how to train and eat in a sustainable way, I build programs grounded in real exercise science rather than fads or crash diets. I trained for years as a competitive dancer in the Vaganova method as well, and I especially enjoy teaching ballet to younger students and beginners who are building their foundation in posture, placement, and technique.
What sets me apart is that I meet each student exactly where they are and tailor my approach to their goals, whether that's a nervous high school senior staring at a blank essay, a first-time gym client, or a child taking their very first ballet class. My experience spans one-on-one coaching across writing, fitness, and dance, and in every setting I focus on building genuine confidence alongside real skills. I'm patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping people reach goals.
