Experience That Matters

I am a PGY2 medical doctor, soon to commence training as an accredited psychiatry registrar (PGY3), and the founder of Your Keys to the Ivy’s, an academic coaching and admissions consultancy dedicated to helping exceptional students gain entry into the world’s most competitive universities.

My own academic journey includes acceptance into Johns Hopkins University with full financial aid, alongside alumni experiences with Stanford OHS and the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. Drawing on this background, I have spent years mentoring high-achieving students through demanding academic pathways and selective admissions processes. My students have earned offers from Harvard University, UCLA, Yale University, New York University, and Boston University, among others. This year, I reignited my passion for admissions coaching after successfully supporting a former student’s peer through a highly competitive application cycle.

Beyond admissions coaching, my professional work reflects a strong commitment to leadership, advocacy, and global education. I have served as a PMCV accreditation member, am a former board member of WONCA, a Rural Seeds Ambassador, founder of a non-for-profit organisation, and was selected to attend the multiple research and leadership conferences worldwide —experiences that inform a strategic, ethical, and values-driven approach to mentorship.

I work with students targeting highly selective institutions including Harvard, Yale, Brown, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, NYU, and Boston University, providing tailored guidance across academic strategy, personal narratives, essays, and interviews. My approach integrates academic rigour, psychological insight, and authentic storytelling—helping students present not only excellence, but clarity of purpose.

A Unique Journey

My journey into academic coaching is a bit unconventional. Balancing medical studies and a demanding career hasn't been easy, but guiding students has always been a passion of mine. With application deadlines fast approaching, I'm here to provide targeted support and help you craft compelling essays that stand out. Let's work together to cross the finish line.

Unlock Your Potential

I thrive on working with ambitious students – those who aren't satisfied with "okay." I seek students who are willing to push themselves to their limits in pursuit of excellence. If you're driven, dedicated, and ready to work hard, I can help you achieve outstanding results and gain admission to your dream university. Your Keys to the Ivy's is here to support your ambition.
