Elite US College Admissions Consultant | UC Berkeley Alum & Quant Specialist

​I provide high-impact, results-driven admissions counseling for students targeting Top-20 US universities. My approach is rooted in the same quantitative rigor I used as a student tutor at UC Berkeley and as a professional in Quantitative Finance.

​Why My Methodology Works:
Most admissions guidance is generic. I focus on "Technical Spikes"—helping STEM and Finance-bound students build portfolios (Python/Data Science) and narratives that stand out to Ivy League and Tier-1 admissions committees.

​Core Services:
​Essay Engineering: High-impact editing for Personal Statements and Supplemental Essays. I help students find their unique "voice" while maintaining structural and rhetorical clarity.

​STEM & Finance Roadmapping: Long-term extracurricular strategy for rising juniors and seniors, focusing on technical project development (Python/SQL).

​SAT Strategy: Leveraging mental-math and analytical logic to maximize test scores. Includes test-taking strategies to meet time constraints and optimize MCQ selection processes.

​Background:
​Education: University of California, Berkeley.

​Teaching Experience: Former Student Tutor for CS 61A (Berkeley’s premier introductory CS course).

​Industry Experience: Quantitative Finance professional with deep expertise in technical modeling and data science.
​I am currently accepting a cohort of ambitious students for the 2026-28 application cycle. I offer a 30-minute paid audit to assess your profile and map out your strategic "Mountain Clear" path to a Top-20 admit.
