Experience
2017: 99th percentile ACT writing and reading 2017: Worked with student to improve SAT math score from 600 to 780 over two months 2017: Led workshop at Columbia for international students from China working on college essays 2016: Six students admitted to Exeter, 4 to Andover, 4 to Choate, 7 to Trinity, 2 to Collegiate, and 4 to Brearley I currently work for a non-profit in downtown Manhattan, where I set the strategy and run a college access program for low-income students. 100% of the students in our program have achieved admissions to the university of their choice over the past six years, including 13 who have become POSSE scholars. Outside of work, I continue to do college admissions work as a tutor, since I am so invested in the process. I want every student that I work with to succeed, and to be accepted to schools with some funding. I work very closely with students, getting to know their likes and dislikes, so that we can develop an application package that sets them up to succeed either at their private school or at their university. I have a tutoring profile on another website, where I have tutored for over three years with a 5 star rating (link can be provided once you make contact!).

Hobbies
I am very invested in community service, and give back to the community in anyway that I can. I am originally from NYC, so the success of our community is important to me. I'm also a bit of an artist (I sing and play guitar), and am always looking for places to perform.
