With over 10 years of experience, Sam has guided dozens of Southern California students to gain admission at top-ranked colleges across the PAC-10, private universities, and elite institutions nationwide. His expertise lies in helping students craft compelling personal statements and excellent UC Personal Insight responses that allow their unique stories and voices to shine.

Sam's counseling approach goes beyond just editing essays - he works closely with each student to deeply understand their background, experiences, and aspirations. Through this individualized process, he helps identify the most impactful themes and anecdotes to weave into application materials. His strategic guidance elevates applications and helps students confidently put their best foot forward.

Sam's past students have gone on to attend schools like USC, UCLA, Pepperdine NYU, and many more prestigious programs.  His track record of success stems from her passion for empowering students to authentically share their narratives. With Sam's support, students can present themselves as well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in college and beyond.
