About
I've been advising students since I was in my senior year at Amherst, and I worked at CollegeVine for 8 years (getting all the insider knowledge to help you get into your top schools!).

In my spare time, I solo travel, run marathons, climb mountains, and test out new vegan recipes.

How I work
Admissions is a strategy game, but that doesn't mean you need to lose yourself in the process. I help students tell their stories in a way that will catch the eye of admissions, but while still being authentic.

A lot of the "common knowledge" in admissions—volunteer a lot to impress colleges, apply to a lot of scholarships, don't do Early Decision—can actually harm students. I help you figure out what's actually true and will help you achieve your goals.
I’ve helped students get accepted to…
