Head of Student Success @ Fearless Grad
About
As an educational consultant, I help aspiring students achieve their academic and career goals by providing them with guidance and support in admissions, candidate development, and exam preparation. With over 10 years of experience in the higher education industry, I have developed strong skills in writing, research, and problem-solving, which I leverage to create personalized and effective solutions for my clients. I am also passionate about archaeology and history, and I pursue this interest as a postdoctoral fellow and writing specialist at Harvard University. I conduct original research and teach in the fields of classical studies, art, and architecture, contributing to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge. Additionally, I mentor high school students at Polygence, guiding them through independent projects on various topics. I have a PhD in classical archaeology from Harvard University and multiple certifications in web development and cloud computing from edX.
