bio

I guide people through the process of getting into the universities and graduate schools of their dreams. I specialize in working with clients who have or want to have a more international experience. While a lot of my work involves what you might imagine in the typical application process, like building school lists and brainstorming essays, I also focus a lot of energy on helping people refine their strengths and achieve long-term, ambitious goals. My clients tend to think of me as more of a life coach.

In my free time, I like to dance salsa, scuba dive, play piano, and read.

She is a professional member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, and has served as a member of its Global and Graduate MBA Committees. She has also served on committees and mentored colleagues as a professional member of the International Association for College Admission Counseling.



Quyen is from the U.S. where she earned an Ed.M. from Harvard University and dual degrees in music and kinesiology from Iowa State University on a full academic scholarship. She is also a recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Fellowship. Quyen has significant international experience, having lived in the U.S., Vietnam, Thailand, and Colombia, and having worked with students from over a dozen countries from nearly every continent.
