Academic Background and International Experience
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Romance Studies with a minor in Hispanic Studies from Dartmouth College. My academic journey has been enriched by extensive international experiences, having lived in Honduras, France, Brazil, China, and Georgia. I’m fluent in Spanish, French, and Portuguese, and I’m also proficient in Mandarin Chinese, having successfully completed the HSK 5 exam. Additionally, I have a conversational grasp of Russian and Cantonese, reflecting my deep commitment to cross-cultural communication.
College Admissions Expertise
With over seven years of experience as a college admissions consultant, I’ve had the privilege of guiding more than a hundred students to gain admission into top 30 schools. My expertise in navigating the complexities of the college admissions process, combined with my multicultural background and language skills, allows me to provide invaluable support to students striving to achieve their educational goals.
Leadership and Personal Achievements
I also serve as the Vice President of the Dartmouth Club of Palm Beach and volunteer with the Dartmouth College Fund. A fun fact about me is that I ran for mayor of my hometown this year and earned 40% of the vote as a first-time candidate. I’ve also had the opportunity to visit 76 countries and regions, which has further fueled my passion for global exploration and understanding.
