Master's Programs Consultants, Events, & Resources

For the 2024–2025 admissions season, I’ve helped 50+ mentees gain admission to top-tier master’s programs, including Yale M2M (4), Yale AM (3), MIT MFin (2), Columbia MSAFA (7), UChicago Booth MiF (15), Cornell AEM (11), and more. I craft resumes admissions committees want to read, tailor every detail to each school’s priorities, and turn your background into a compelling hero’s journey — even if your GPA is low or your internship experience is limited. With the right narrative, I’ve guided candidates from underdog to admit. If you’re applying this year, I offer a free 15-minute intro call to get you started.

I’ve spent over a decade working in higher education and admissions, including serving as an Associate Director of Admission at the USC Price School of Public Policy, where I reviewed thousands of applications and worked closely with students during meaningful moments of transition. Through that experience, I developed a deep understanding of what competitive graduate programs look for, particularly those grounded in public service, civic leadership, and social impact. My background encompasses a wide range of graduate programs including: ◎ Public Administration ◎ Health Policy & Management ◎ Urban Planning & Development ◎ Public Policy ◎ Data Science ◎ and other policy focused programs While working in admissions, my role often extended beyond the review process. I found myself helping students navigate important questions like: 🌟 What kind of impact do I want to have? 🌟 What systems do I want to influence? 🌟 Is this the right path for me? I believe strong graduate applications are built on clarity, authenticity, and intentional strategy. The most compelling applicants are those who understand their motivations, can articulate their interests with intentionality, and are passionate about the work they want to do in the world. My work aligns with: 🎓 Highly capable applicants who need support shaping their experiences into a clear, cohesive narrative 🌟Purpose-driven individuals seeking grounded, thoughtful guidance during an important career transition 📚Applicants whose academic metrics don’t fully capture their strengths and want help presenting their potential in context 👥 First-generation, LGBTQ+, students of color, and other historically underrepresented applicants looking for culturally attuned support ⚖️ Joint or concurrent degree applicants navigating how to position themselves across disciplines (MPP/MBA, JD/MPP, etc.) My approach is strategic and direct, but always rooted in empathy. Every applicant brings a distinct lens to public service. If you want a strategic partner who will help you translate that perspective into essays that feel authentic and focused, while elevating their clarity and impact, we’ll make a great team!

Schwarzman Scholar with 4+ years as a strategist across AI startups, VC, think tanks, and academia. Admitted to the Oxford Internet Institute, London School of Economics, and Hertie School of Governance. Seasoned mentor to prospective applicants to top Master's and scholarship programs.

I got into Oxford (MSc Financial Economics, Distinction, Dean's List) and HEC Paris (MSc International Finance) in the same cycle with different applications built for different processes. I scored 740 on the GMAT while working in private equity. Since graduating, I've worked across Rothschild healthcare M&A, Kroll DFI valuations, ERM climate strategy, and the City of London Corporation's transition finance program. That career range means I coach applications with a clear view of what actually matters after admission, not just what gets you in. Clients have earned admission to Oxford MFE, HEC Paris MFE, and LBS. I also work with applicants targeting LSE, Cambridge, and Imperial. Most candidates submit essays about leadership and teamwork in the abstract. I help you extract specific proof points from your background and position them for how each programme actually reads applications, because Oxford and HEC are looking for different things, and your application should reflect that.
