Working with high schoolers and young adults to identify and articulate their passions is one of my greatest joys. I'm extremely proud that many of these students have gone on to Stanford, Wharton, Georgetown, USC, Berkeley, UCSD, UMich and more.

I believe a solid foundation of education and work experience are important milestones towards fulfilling one’s potential, and a well-crafted essay is paramount to gaining access to these critical opportunities.

Education has been an important part of my own journey. I graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelors in International Relations with a focus in Economics. I also obtained my MBA from University of California Berkeley and a Masters in Education Leadership from the Broad Center at the Yale School of Management.

I currently work at Atlassian, one of the largest global software companies, leading marketing strategy & business operations. Previously I held similar roles at Adobe and Leapfrog Enterprises. I also spent 6 years working in the K-12 Education sector, including at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. I began my career in technology investment banking at Deutsche Bank.
