I have also developed graduate admissions content for Japan’s largest admissions counseling company, who recognized me as the “Most Inspiring Employee” on the basis of client and peer evaluations.

My graduate education in political science has helped me to counsel successful candidates from a variety of backgrounds, including university students, professionals seeking to enhance or change their careers and awardees of the Japanese government's prestigious Long-Term Fellowship Program for study abroad in graduate public policy and public administration programs.
My clients obtained acceptances to top graduate schools in fields such as Public Policy and Administration (Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government), International Relations (Columbia, Fletcher), and to MBA programs such as Stanford GSP, MIT, Kellogg, Yale SOM, UC-Berkeley Haas, and UCLA.
