My advising experience:
As an undergrad, I served as a CollegeBoard Advising Fellow and virtually advised three cohorts of high-achieving, first-generation, low-income high school students throughout the entire college admissions process (one year) with the goal of matching them to high-graduation rate, best-fit institutions. Across all cohorts, my students were offered admission to Stanford, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins University. I have extensive experience in designing and teaching college admissions curricula, providing and discussing essay/application feedback, and advising students on building effective organizational habits and problem-solving skills. Over the years, I’ve logged in a total of 400+ one-on-one advising hours.
Other areas of expertise include:
- Research & finding "fit" colleges
- Visiting campus & fly-in programs
- Making a testing plan
- Applying for financial aid
- Applying to outside scholarships
- Creating a resume
- UC, CSU, Common, Coalition, and Questbridge Applications
- College interviews
- Understanding aid packages
- Choosing & matriculating to college
I look forward to my meetings with students and am interested in meeting them where they're at! Feel free to message me with any outstanding questions, and I look forward to navigating the college admissions process with you!
