Description of Experience : I am currently working with high school students in the classes of 2022-2025, both as a paid independent educational consultant as well as a volunteer within local public high schools. My clients range from underrepresented minorities and low-income/first-generation students to (potential) recruited athletes and legacy applicants to highly selective colleges. I completed my Practicum for Berkeley’s CACP program at Miramonte HS in Orinda, in addition to serving a paid client base of 40+ students.
