I have been doing admissions work for my entire 20 year career. During the past five years, I have worked as an Independent Educational Consultant where I have assisted several students each year to successfully apply to Harvard and other competitive universities. I am a Harvard graduate myself and I enjoy helping students who want to have a stress-free application season. I also have experience working with students who are from across the globe and first generation students. In order to recruit students, I have visited dozens of countries including India, China, Brazil, Ghana, UK and Spain. I try to keep the number of students that I work with low so that all can enjoy individualized attention.Specialties

Work Experience: The college applications process is all about responding to one question: who are you? I am passionate about helping students craft a creative answer. I have been helping students gain admission to the T25 schools of their dreams since 2018, when I first started working for CollegeVine as an Applications Consultant, and later, blog writer. Soon after graduating from Georgetown, I started my own company to make college advising my career. I currently mentor students through one-on-one consulting sessions and essay editing.
My Admissions Story: My admissions journey began with a desire to dive into the humanities and have an adventure of self-discovery. I applied to East Coast liberal arts schools that value creativity and specialize in teaching languages, history, and international affairs. One thin deferral letter came in the fall, a thicker envelope came in the spring, and with that, I was accepted to my dream school — Georgetown University!
