Our Mission
Our mission at Your Epic Consulting is to help students achieve college admission and set the foundation for lifelong success. Many traditional programs focus narrowly on grades, scores, and achievements, encouraging students to fit a mold. While accomplishments are crucial, we go further: guiding students to communicate how their skills, resilience, and curiosity will drive future success in both college and career. By encouraging self-discovery alongside strategic college planning, we ensure each student’s application stands out with a unique voice and intentional path. Through this process, students develop confidence in their choices and a sense of purpose that extends well beyond college.

2008-2012: The Start of College-Pleasing

2011-2012 - The Start of College Pleasing

In high school, as an introvert who preferred one-on-one connections, I felt compelled to become a bubbly Key Club leader to "look good" on college applications. This facade was draining and impersonal, leaving me unfulfilled. Despite having the grades, test scores, and extracurriculars, I wasn’t accepted to my top choice school because I wasn't being myself. Instead, I attended UCLA, carrying forward this inauthenticity.

2012 - 2023: People-Pleasing in College & Beyond

2012-2023: People-Pleasing in College & Beyond

At UCLA, chosen for its prestige rather than personal fit, I felt isolated on its vast campus. Struggling academically in silence, I landed on academic probation. My people-pleasing continued as I tried to emulate my peers' career paths, leaving me lost and unsatisfied. After switching from engineering to political science, I graduated but felt the same inauthenticity. I then pursued a higher education career at UC Berkeley, valued by my parents for its stability, yet the administrative roles lacked meaningful student interactions.

2017-2021: The Breaking Point

2017-2021: The Breaking Point

Years of seeking external validation, like choosing a major or job to please others, led to depression and low self-esteem. Pretending to be fine was exhausting, and I eventually burnt out. I quit my job at UC Berkeley to focus on my well-being and discover what truly energized me. This period of reflection marked a pivotal point in my journey towards self-acceptance and authenticity.

2023: Finding My True Self

2023: Finding My True Self

During a gap year in New York City, far from my California roots, I had the space to rethink my identity and values. While mentoring foster kids in high school brought me joy, I realized I had also mentored peers in college and adulthood but never pursued it as a career because I didn't believe in myself. Focusing on my strengths helped me embrace self-acceptance and recognize that my true passion lay in compassionate, empathetic, and genuine mentoring. I finally prioritized my authentic self by doing what I love — mentoring youth who, like me, sought acceptance for who they truly were.

2023: Your Epic Consulting Today

I founded Your Epic Consulting to guide students away from "college pleasing" so they don't walk the challenging path that I did. We help students identify, practice, and communicate their values authentically, aiming for both college and self-acceptance. This approach fosters holistic success, allowing students to thrive in any academic environment while living in alignment with their personal values.

P.S. Shortly after founding this firm, I graduated with a Master of Education in Higher Education Enrollment!
