USC Finance Grad | Ex-Investment Banker | College Admissions Strategist
As a USC Marshall School of Business graduate and former investment banking analyst at a top Wall Street firm, I know what it takes to stand out in a competitive admissions process. I’ve been on both sides of the table — not only as an applicant who earned offers from top programs, but also as someone who’s evaluated talent firsthand while serving on my firm’s campus recruiting team. I understand what decision-makers look for and how to present your story in a way that resonates. What sets me apart is my ability to blend storytelling with strategy. I draw on my background in finance and mentorship to help students highlight leadership, impact, and growth with clarity and confidence. Whether you're targeting a top business school or looking to craft a differentiated application, I’ll help you build a clear game plan and bring out the most compelling, authentic version of your story.
