Navigating the college admissions landscape requires more than just high test scores. It requires a roadmap designed by someone who knows the terrain from every angle.
I founded MyPathwise to bridge the gap between ambitious students and their dream schools. My approach is built on a rare combination of elite academic insight, boots-on-the-ground teaching experience, and a personal track record of excellence.
The MyPathwise Advantage
- A Personal History of Success: I haven’t just studied the admissions process; I’ve mastered it. My own journey as an applicant resulted in acceptances to Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Columbia, Duke, Rice, WashU, UT Austin, and Texas A&M.
- The Insider Perspective: Ultimately, I chose Harvard for my undergraduate degree and later earned my MBA from the Kellogg School of Management, where I was selected as an F.C. Austin Scholar, the institution’s most prestigious merit scholarship for leadership. I've served as a Harvard Alumni Interviewer (since 2010), giving me a 360-degree view of what admissions committees are actually looking for beyond the transcript.
- The Educator’s Heart: My time as a Teach For America high school teacher (AP Biology, Physical Science, French) taught me that every student learns differently. There is no "one-size-fits-all" in education. I don't just edit essays; I mentor young adults to find their unique voice.
- A Legacy of Access: In 2012, I founded an educational nonprofit dedicated to college access and success. The impact of this initiative was recognized at the highest levels, resulting in two invitations to the White House under the Obama administration and a featured TEDx Talk. That same drive for excellence fuels MyPathwise today.
If you won't settle, and want a supportive strategist who will challenge you and champion you, I would love to help.
