As both a college graduate and former applicant, I understand firsthand how stressful and confusing the admissions process can feel. My own journey through multiple UC and CSU applications gave me deep insight into what admissions officers look for and how powerful storytelling can make a difference.

I founded Elevate Scholars Academy to help students avoid common essay pitfalls and confidently share their experiences through thoughtful, compelling writing. Today, I work closely with students to refine their essays, strengthen their narratives, and submit applications they feel proud of.
