A graduate of Hamilton College with a Master’s Degree from NYU, Amy worked as a guidance counselor at a prestigious public school before transitioning to private consulting. Her extensive background spans advising for both domestic and international admissions, including deep on-the-ground experience with international admissions in China. This global edge allows her to look beyond simple data points -she truly get to know each student to uncover the hidden, unique angles that make them human.
Her core philosophy is simple: top-tier admissions departments are numb to existing high school clubs and pre-packaged organization chapters. Amy strictly steers her students away from established, off the shelf platforms, focusing instead on helping them build their own original ventures from scratch.
For example instead of a student joining a business club she encourages and guides them to build their own hyper-local platform that coordinates regional logistics for community aid.
Instead of signing up for basic volunteer work, she mentors a student to found a cross-border advocacy network that connects international peers to address and discuss global policy initiatives.
By pushing students to become creators and founders she ensures their personal brand stands completely alone and shines brightly among other high quality applicants, maximizing their probability of acceptance into the schools of their dreams.
