Admissions advising and tutoring
I help students and families navigate the same academic pathways I've walked myself — undergraduate, graduate school, and medical school. San Diego & Coronado, or remotely by video. Bilingual support available (English / Spanish).
As a Harvard PhD, a former Harvard College alumni interviewer (2021–2025), and an independent premed advisor since 2022, I bring perspective from both sides of the table: someone who completed the rigorous training these students are aiming for, and someone whose prior alumni-interviewing experience informs how I coach applicants to communicate clearly and authentically.

Testimonials from students and families I've advised and mentored are being collected and will appear here with written permission. They focus on what the work was actually like — strategy, clarity, narrative development, interview preparation, and the confidence students built — not on outcomes I can't and won't take credit for. Admissions decisions are made by committees, not consultants.
No student names, identifying details, or quotations are published without written permission; for minors and former minors, parent or guardian permission is obtained first. Nothing here implies or guarantees a specific admissions outcome.
