Ready for your next degree? You’re in the right place.

I teach working professionals how to apply to graduate school so that you can achieve your career goals.

What do I do?

Equip and inspire professionals like you on the journey to an advanced degree.

My goal is for you to break through limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome while completing the application process, especially when writing an authentic personal statement.

You’re way more interesting and prepared for graduate school than you give yourself credit for.

I’m here to help you unlock your best attributes for admissions committees.

Whether you want a master’s degree to level up in business, engineering, healthcare, the humanities or social sciences, to become an attorney or doctor, or you’re ready to change the world with an advanced art degree, my resources and programs can help you get there.

How did I get here?

I didn’t get into graduate school the first time I applied. (Bold admission, I know).

As a first-generation college student, I knew nothing about tailoring an application to a specific graduate program or highlighting my strengths and work experiences for an admissions committee of faculty members. Honestly, I didn’t even know who was on an admissions committee.

After adjusting my application materials, I was admitted to a top 10 nationally ranked master’s program the next year. With this knowledge, I later went through another application process and was admitted to a doctoral program for working professionals.

Everything worked out!

After reading thousands of applications and advising 1,200+ students since 2010 at one of the largest universities in the United States, I realized there is a world full of motivated working professionals who don’t have a knowledgable, go-to advisor to help them navigate their next degree.

Sound familiar?

You deserve to have a trusted person who can outline exactly how to apply to graduate or professional school. Save time on the Google and Reddit rabbit holes.

I’m here to be your vote of confidence to take the next step toward reaching your career goals.
