I was raised by parents who valued education deeply, even though they had never attended college themselves. We were a low-income family, and higher education—especially elite universities—felt distant and abstract. There was no inherited roadmap, no familiarity with the admissions process, and no network to rely on. What existed instead was curiosity, discipline, and a belief that education could change the trajectory of a life.

From an early age, I learned to navigate the academic world independently—pursuing academic excellence, building meaningful extracurriculars, organizing regional initiatives, preparing for standardized tests, crafting essays, and securing recommendations. At a time when I once assumed community college might be my only option, I ultimately earned admission to the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

That journey shaped how I understand education—not as a checklist of grades and scores, but as a system. When understood and navigated well, it becomes a bridge between potential and opportunity, between talent and impact.

After university, I worked in management consulting focused on learning, change management, and organizational development. There, I saw the same principles apply at scale: progress depends not only on intelligence, but on structure, guidance, mindset, and long-term vision.

Delta Education was built at the intersection of these experiences. Our work reflects a belief that exceptional outcomes come from thoughtful mentorship, strategic planning, and deep respect for the student as a whole person—supporting not just admission, but long-term growth and intellectual maturity.
