About Me

Rebecca Laband began developing her coaching skills as a Harvard College student, selected to guide dozens of incoming freshmen through their first-year challenges and anxieties — an approach she carries into her work today. After graduating with a degree in Human Evolutionary Biology and Mandarin Chinese, she spent six years in Beijing working in educational travel, including five years conducting alumni interviews for Harvard Admissions and serving as a pre-selection interviewer for Chinese Rhodes Scholarship applicants.

Since 2017, Rebecca has supported students and families worldwide through college search and applications, with particular expertise in Ivy League admissions, liberal arts admissions, and international applicants. Returning to the U.S. in 2019, she became a certified professional coach through IPEC in 2020 and is a member of IECA and HECA. She lives in Washington, DC with her husband and son.
