editing, tutoring, and mentorship from a published author who has read applications from the other side of the desk

I’ve spent my whole life using writing to open doors — and years helping others do the same. I hold a Master of International Affairs from Columbia SIPA (’25), where I served as a Program Assistant in the SIPA Office of Admissions — so I know firsthand how applications are actually read. I earned the International Honours Joint Degree from William & Mary and St Andrews, won the Department of State’s fully funded CBYX scholarship to Germany, and served as a Donald M. Payne Fellow with USAID. I published my debut novel, Rules of the Red Book, and now work as a research analyst at Korn Ferry in New York.
