Frequently asked questions

I work with driven, self-motivated 10th-12th graders who want knowledge about the process of applying to universities (such as schools to consider, whether to apply Early Decision, essay brainstorming, etc). Most of my students are aiming for selective US universities and appreciate a collaborative, analytical, and growth-oriented approach to planning, essays, and application strategy.

My approach blends strategic positioning, student well-being, and an eye towards employability post-graduation. I have 8 years of experience working in startups and Big Tech, and I made entry-level hiring decisions at all of my previous employers. I also hold an MBA at UCLA, where I interviewed MBA applicants. All of these inform how I advise students and families.

I work with students virtually, as this allows the greatest flexibility for students.

While I primarily interface with students, I keep parents informed around key milestones and decisions.

No, and ethically, no one can. What I do offer is guidance on how to put your best foot forward by helping you understand what makes you stand out.

I believe college can and should serve as a gateway for students to become their best selves, personally and financially. College is a time for exploring interesting classes, discovering new interests, and finding your people. Post-college is a time to set yourself up for financial success, whatever that may mean to you.
