With more than a decade of experience in higher ed, Sonam has dedicated her career to advising high school students and their families on the intricacies of selective college admissions and financial aid. She was a Senior Admissions Officer (AO) for Duke University where she read and evaluated applications from almost a dozen states (Texas was her largest territory, which is where she now spends the majority of her time). She has read over 10K applications in her career thus far.
​
As a former teacher and AO, Sonam enjoys working with students to help them find an undergraduate home that meets their academic, professional, and personal needs. In the last five years, her students have been accepted to all of the T50 U.S. universities, and 100% of her students have been accepted to 1 of their top 3 choices.

She is a registered member of NACAC, and she frequently presents on highly selective admissions to students and parents in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
