"This year, Your Epic Consulting was honored for pioneering a transformative approach to college admissions that challenges the industry's "college-pleasing" epidemic.
In a crowded field of formulaic college consulting, I've built a business around empowering students to embrace their authentic selves rather than suppress their stories to fit what colleges supposedly "want to see." As a recent graduate who personally navigated admissions within the last decade, I combine my expertise in admissions with students' expertise in their own lives—creating a truly student-centered approach.
This philosophy has driven both meaningful impact and business growth. Through partnerships with organizations like Apex for Youth, Summit STEM Fellowship, NAAPIMHA and Helivox, I've made high-quality college coaching accessible to underserved communities while building toward my mission of transforming how students approach this pivotal journey.
At Your Epic Consulting, I don't just help students get into college—I empower them to showcase their individuality in ways that serve them far beyond the college admissions process."

College admissions success to top colleges in the United States
As an Asian American high school student, I focused too much on achievements — just like my peers. I prioritized being a sociable leader instead of what I loved — interpersonal mentorship. My college application was generic because I didn't write it wholeheartedly — likely why I was rejected from my top-choice school. Living inauthentically took a toll on me until I founded Your Epic to help students like my past self build genuine, values-driven narratives that last beyond college.
