​

I guide students and families through every step of the college admissions process—from early high school planning to final college selection—so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and less stress.

​

As a UC Berkeley–certified College Admissions Counselor with over 16 years of experience, I have helped students gain admission to highly selective universities including UC Berkeley, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, Purdue, and UIUC. I intentionally work with a small cohort of students (max 5) to provide personalized, thoughtful guidance, with a strong focus on helping each student find their best-fit college—not just the most prestigious one.
