Elite U.S. Admissions Coaching for Ambitious Families Who Expect Results

I help ambitious students prepare for acceptance into America’s top universities. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Chicago, Master’s Degree from Harvard, and I am a current Harvard PhD candidate. I’ve turned down admissions offers from Yale, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, Northwestern, Oxford and many more.I earned my certificate in teaching from the Derek Bok Center for Teaching & Learning at Harvard University and have been recognized for excellence in teaching by the Office of Undergraduate Education at Harvard College.Pathways to the Ivy is the trusted partner for discerning families who want their children to stand out, get in, and thrive at the most competitive colleges in the world.Whether you’re navigating U.S. admissions for the first time, or you want to sharpen your edge in a highly saturated field, we’re here to ensure nothing is left to chance.

My Coaching Style:
Strategic. Grounded. Proven.

My approach is holistic, data-driven, and deeply personal. I don’t believe in generic templates or recycled personal statements.Instead, I:1. Unearth what makes your student uniquely competitive2. Translate that into compelling applications across essays, activities, and supplements3. Position them for scholarships, selective programs, and long-term successMy past clients have included first-generation standouts, international students, and students from elite private schools—but they all had one thing in common: they wanted to win.If your student is bright, capable, and driven—but unsure how to present themselves in the best light—I’ll help them bridge that gap with clarity and confidence.
