WHAT COLLEGES SEEK

Students who embody the college’s values and who can make a measurable impact on their community.

ADMISSIONS CONSULTING PHILOSOPHY

With my values-driven approach and insider knowledge of how the admissions process works, I provide students with the most authentic and competitive pathway to enter their top-choice colleges.  
 
I accomplish this through helping them decide the right major, build meaningful relationships with admissions officers and professors, and gain insight on their unique qualities as a college applicant. 

BEST ADVICE FOR STUDENTS

College prefer to admit a well-rounded class, NOT well-rounded students. This means that you should deeply commit to 1-2 extracurricular activities instead of adding on new clubs. Seek to make an impact on your high school community or the community you care most about that leaves it better off than it was before you contributed to it. Don’t be afraid to look for leadership opportunities outside of school.

WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT COLLEGE PLANNING AND CONSULTING

Motivating, advising, and coaching students to make a contribution in and outside of the classroom.
