About me
Experience You Can Trust
I’m a college professor with more than 20 years of experience in higher education in the U.S. and Canada.
Throughout my career, I’ve been part of the admissions process as a faculty member, admissions evaluator, and participant in student recruitment. I’ve reviewed applications and essays, worked with prospective students and families, and helped students pursue admission to highly regarded universities.
I also understand the international student experience personally. As an immigrant who attended universities in two foreign countries, I know what it is like to navigate an unfamiliar educational system.
