My deep understanding of highly competitive admissions stems from a lifetime immersed in an academic environment. With a father who has a PhD in Sanskrit, a grandfather (and his brother) who attended Harvard, and relatives who attended various Ivies, I’ve been ingrained from a young age with an understanding of the qualities and actions needed to secure admission to such prestigious institutions. In my era, a strong focus on classical languages (Latin and Ancient Greek) and international interests was my pathway to the University of Pennsylvania (’09). However, the competitive landscape has since evolved, necessitating even more distinctive and ambitious efforts.

My journey to becoming a college admissions counselor and strategist began with a simple realization: the insights into elite college admissions that were second nature to me are not widely known or understood, even by many seasoned college counselors. What seemed obvious to me was, in fact, I realized, specialized knowledge not accessible to most.

My services go beyond merely navigating students through the admissions process. My objective is to serve as the lynchpin of a dedicated support system for every student I assist. I aim to impart to students and their families an appreciation for the fact that attaining success in elite educational environments and securing premier career opportunities often demands a collective and coordinated effort. I am committed to being a vital component of this team, offering the necessary expertise, support, and commitment to help my students and their parents realize their loftiest goals.
