I have a unique and broad mix of experiences that enable my high calibre coaching.

Trained by Top Personal Statement Coaches

In the process of becoming a Rhodes scholarship finalist and winning two Fulbright awards, I was intensely coached by MIT's personal statement advisors. 

Mastered the Art of Persuasion at McKinsey & Co

My consulting experience at McKinsey, where understanding people and being persuasive are key, equipped me to help students build compelling and convincing college applications.

Vetted to Teach at the World's Top Institution

I led my own course as a teaching assistant to Nobel Prize-winning economics professor Dr. Josh Angrist. I know how to quickly and effectively teach students concepts they haven't yet grasped. 

Studied Admissions from the Inside Out at MIT

As the chief of staff of MIT's student government, I often worked with student admissions and grew to understand what top institutions are looking for in their applicants.

My Story.

When I went through the college application process, I was accepted to MIT & Harvard. That was awesome!

 

The process was super stressful, though :) I'm deeply grateful to have gone to MIT and to have relished in all the resources of a top school. I'm also cognizant that such a stressful application process was really intense at such a young age, and I wish I had had someone to help me through it.

 

At MIT, I ended up diving into everything I could during those four years: I co-authored research papers, co-led MIT's student government, drove climate action campaigns across campus... I then went through the full Rhodes scholarship (grad school at Oxford) application process, where I was selected as a finalist (about 5% of all Rhodes nominees are brought to this stage). My essays were the pillar of these applications. I now write professionally and have helped many students with their successful application essays.
