Harvard Grad | US & European Masters Admissions | French-American
I love helping people make sense of their experience and turn it into a compelling, convincing story, whether that means crafting a statement of purpose, refining essays, or building a coherent narrative out of a complex resume. As a French-American graduate of Harvard Kennedy School, ESSEC Business School, and Georgetown University, I have firsthand experience with admissions processes in both the US and Europe, and can support applications to programs on either side of the Atlantic. My own path has been non-linear — spanning procurement, operations, and risk and sustainability strategy across the public, private, and research sectors — which means I'm especially attuned to helping applicants who have varied backgrounds or simply aren't sure how to connect the dots. If you're applying to a master's program in the US or abroad, or navigating a cross-sector pivot, I'd love to work with you.
