Brown University

Hi there! My name is Ishaani, and I'm a MS4 at Brown's Alpert Medical School in the Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME), where I study Computational Biology. As I've read applications for Brown PLME, I especially feel confident advising BS/MD students, and providing insights related to extracurricular development and essay editing services. I've been working as a college advisor for 5+ years, and I look forward to supporting you all throughout the college admissions process!

Outside of class, I play in a jazz ensemble, conduct research on cancer outcomes, and advise and tutor fellow medical students.

Princeton University

Hi! My name is Nannette Beckley, and I’m super excited to work with you! I recently graduated from Princeton University in May of 2023 with a B.A. in the School of Public and International Affairs and earned a certificate (minor) in Global Health & Health Policy. As a student, I participated in several organizations, including Matriculate, a college access program. Through my work as an Advising Fellow for Matriculate, I gained several years of experience advising high-achieving, lower-income students on the college application and financial aid process. I am also a member of the AP Alumni Council through the College Board. I enjoy helping students form their college lists and reviewing students’ essays. Outside of CollegeAdvisor, I serve as a Research Associate at NORC at the University of Chicago in their health-adjacent departments.

I look forward to guiding you through the long, complicated, but fulfilling college admissions process!
