I joined College Coach after working in admissions at two highly selective, STEM-focused institutions. At California Institute of Technology (Caltech), I evaluated student applications for a wide range of scientific fields like Aerospace, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and more. I was also fortunate to lead the admission evaluation process for students applying to Caltech through QuestBridge, a nonprofit that helps low-income students access educational opportunities. After Caltech, I became an Assistant Director of Admissions at Harvey Mudd College where I worked with exceptionally talented applicants who were interested in pursuing an interdisciplinary liberal arts college education with a STEM focus.. At Harvey Mudd, I interviewed prospective students, evaluated D3-recruited athletes, and led DEI recruitment initiatives.
