College applications are daunting,
but they don't have to be.

The college admissions process can feel overwhelming. But with the right strategy, it becomes a journey you can navigate with confidence.

​

How do I know?

I’ve spent over a decade interviewing applicants for Harvard, co-chaired the Harvard Club of Long Island’s School & Scholarship Committee for five years, and have been coaching students through college admissions for four. I use this experience to help students build a personalized strategy for every year of high school—so when senior year arrives, applications feel seamless, not stressful.

​

What Makes Me Different? 

I take a highly personalized approach to college applications. No cookie-cutter advice, no box-checking—just a strategy that highlights your unique strengths, passions, and experiences. Because your college path should be as unique as you are.

​

How Do I Do That?

  • I provide individualized guidance to help you craft authentic essays, refine your personal narrative, and build confidence.

  • I help you stand out in a crowded applicant pool by connecting the dots between your experiences and ambitions.

  • I ensure you're fully prepared to nail the interview and present your best self to admissions officers.

​​

And the results speak for themselves: 100% of my students in the past four years were admitted to one of their top three choice schools.

No matter where you are in your journey—building a four-year plan or making a final senior-year push—I’m here to help.
