Tristan is an incredibly generous friend and mentor. I met Tristan this past fall after viewing the current list of Gates Cambridge Scholars studying Public Health. I had reached out wanting to better understand the application process, but over the course of the months we met over Zoom calls, he helped me refine application materials, reach out to recommenders, and prepare for the interview—scheduling over five mock interviews with himself and other scholars in his cohort. After navigating and winning both the Truman Scholarship and Gates Cambridge Scholarship, Tristan has since devoted himself to supporting other young people in accessing these incredible opportunities. Through the countless hours he volunteered, Tristan’s dedication and mentorship has helped me win the scholarship, during an incredibly difficult cycle (as they had reduced the usual 35 scholarships for U.S. students to just 26). I am so grateful for him and know that other students stand to benefit greatly from meeting with him as they navigate pre-med in university and postgraduate opportunities.

Tristan provided me with end to end support, helping me establish research connections, providing guidance on standardized testing strategies, and coaching me on interview prep. There is no other place where I could find all three and it’s the reason I got into my top choice med school with a merit based scholarship.

Tristan provided invaluable advice and guidance in securing research positions and collaborations to assist in my future residency applications. He guided me through the process of reaching out to research mentors, helping me refine my cold outreach strategy and tailor my CV to highlight relevant technical skills. His insights into how to frame my research interests led directly to my work conducting a service evaluation for a regional hospital system.

Amazing services! Not only did Tristan help my MCAT score increase to a 526, but he has also guided me on my graduate school admissions. He is an amazing source for advice and mentoring. He also puts in a lot of time and effort into your application. Would highly recommend!!!

Stephanie has extraordinary professional coaching experience in and outside the US. She has provided professional coaching to heads of state, and built programs in New Orleans - she introduced coaching to Tulane University and has assisted us in providing coaching to develop employees internally. She herself is a fantastic leader and coach to the coaches at Tulane.

Fayaz is a great leader, business savvy executive and leads a great career himself. He is also a master mind to listen, understand and share his wisdom and experience to make powerful impact for me. A perfect combination for a high quality career coach.

I worked with Joe throughout my MBA application process, and the quality of his advising was exceptional. From our first session, it was clear he had a deep understanding of how top programs actually evaluate candidates - not just what the websites say, but how admissions committees think. He helped me identify the gaps in my narrative before I could see them myself and was direct about what needed work, which I valued more than encouragement would have been. Beyond the essays and positioning, Joe was genuinely useful on the financial side of the process. He walked me through scholarship opportunities I hadn't considered, helped me understand the timing of when to surface merit discussions with programs, and gave me a clear-eyed view of what to expect from fellowship applications. That guidance saved me real money. He's responsive, prepared, and serious about the work. If you're considering working with him, I'd recommend it without hesitation.

Ify has helped me in every step of my educational journey. She helped me craft my statements when applying to boarding school, college, graduate school, and law school. I am so grateful to have had someone so invested in journey every step of the way. I can honestly say that the success I’ve enjoyed so far in my educational career is due in no small part to her contributions.

Joe is super sharp and a tremendous resource. He has great perspective. He also has a realness and groundedness that is rare in MBA / career striver land.

Joe gave me extremely helpful advice and guidance during my MBA application process. His support and resources not only strengthened my application, but also gave me clarity and confidence in how to tell my story and position my experiences. He was thoughtful, strategic, and genuinely invested in my success.
