Middlebury Grad | College App & Career Strategy Coach | PE & Consulting

I’m a graduate of Middlebury College, where I studied Economics and Philosophy and graduated magna cum laude. Since then, I’ve built a career in private equity, with previous experience in consulting at L.E.K. and investing at Cambridge Associates and Summit Partners. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what top colleges and employers look for. I work with students to craft standout personal statements, build cohesive application narratives, and shape extracurriculars into a compelling and authentic profile. I’ve helped students gain admission to Ivy League schools and top liberal arts colleges by helping them find their unique voice and strategy. I especially enjoy working with students who are multidimensional — balancing academics with music, sports, or other passions — and want their full story to shine through in the application process.
