Thank you for taking the time to come to this site.
For the last 15 years, I have been blessed to help thousands of families just like yours find, apply and get into great colleges. Yet, every year I meet teenagers who are more stressed, more overwhelmed, and more afraid they won't get into a "good" school. My goal has always been to show students how to be authentic, how to discover their true interests, and how doing less often results in both more acceptances and a more enjoyable life.
My approach has been considered revolutionary because it runs counter to commonly-held beliefs about how college admissions works and why students get accepted. I feel blessed that families from all over the world, including top CEOs, celebrities, and parents who never went to college have placed their trust in me to help their children navigate the admissions process. I am also proud to say that year after year, my students have gone on to amazing colleges that truly match who they are as people.
Given that I am the first in my family to attend college and the third to get accepted to Stanford from my urban, public high school, I now want to fulfill my mission of helping as many families realize the incredible opportunities available.
