Hi! I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2018 with an Economics BA and an English minor. At Cal, I was president of the Undergraduate Communications Association, and now I'm a marketing specialist at a big tech company in Silicon Valley. As an advisor, I love helping students find schools that are a perfect fit, ace college interviews, and write heartfelt essays, especially when it comes to the UC Application. I'm passionate about making the world a better place, investing in the next generation, and my favorite soccer team :) I hope to be a part of your college journey and wish you the best during this exciting time!

CollegeAdvisor’s tremendous resources and committed advisors helped make the application process stress-free. I was able to customize the service and create an environment in which I work best. Through hours of essay editing, not only did I grow as a writer but I became more self-aware, learning the value of my experiences. As a look back, I am proud of all the work my advisor, Zoe, and I were able to accomplish together.
Liyuan Zhang
It’s a great honor to have help through the platform of CollegeAdvisor and work with the most experienced advisors during this year’s application season. I’ve actively recommended CollegeAdvisor to juniors in my high school.
Avery Medina
My experience with CollegeAdvisor was excellent. My advisor, Carolyn, was always available for help and kept me on track with a well planned out timeline. She helped me refine my essay ideas and was fantastic when it came to editing and clarifying ideas in my writing. My college application experience would have been much tougher had it not been for CollegeAdvisor. I definitely recommend!
