Growing up in New York, my father taught me that studying is a craft — structured, intentional, and learnable by anyone willing to commit to the process. That mindset shaped how I learned, how I tested, and ultimately how I teach — and it's a skill that pays dividends long after any exam or application is behind you.

After graduating from NYU, I moved to Singapore to work for a start-up test prep company, where I fell in love with the work and the impact it had on students. That passion brought me back to New York — where I founded Global Scholars, built a career across education and business, and earned my MBA at Columbia Business School.

Sixteen years and 3,000+ students later, I've worked with students across 6 continents, from New York to Sydney, London to Tokyo. What drives me is simple — watching students achieve results beyond what they thought possible, and seeing how that changes their confidence and trajectory long after our work together ends.
