Krystle Gomez

Krystle’s academic journey began at Arizona State University, where she graduated first in her class. She then earned her JD from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, along with a business and public policy certificate from the Wharton School of Business. Committed to broadening her global perspective, she pursued an MBA from Webster University through an immersive program that combined academic coursework with hands-on business experience across Europe and Asia. She has been awarded numerous scholarships throughout her academic journey, including the University of Pennsylvania Dean's Merit Scholarship and Ford Motor Company Honors Scholarship. 

After law school, Krystle worked in Big Law in New York and California. She founded CIMI Ventures, a law firm dedicated to helping diverse clients, from nonprofits to multi-billion-dollar companies, grow. Krystle is deeply committed to serving as a community leader. She frequently speaks on topics related to law, business, and strategy and enjoys mentoring students as they explore how to maximize their advanced degrees. Krystle has consistently coached students with their academic growth through her roles as a University of Pennsylvania alumni ambassador, adjunct professor, university business case competition judge, and mentor.

Additionally, Krystle has served as a Board Director for the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation, a Fellow with the World Affairs Council, an adjunct professor at Marymount California University, and Assistant General Counsel for the San Diego Padres (on secondment). She was also honored as a Cultural Ambassador through the City of London Arizona Education Trust (COLAET).  

One of Krystle’s greatest strengths as an admissions coach is her ability to connect with applicants on a personal level. She helps each candidate identify their unique strengths and craft compelling, authentic, and memorable essays. Passionate about life design, her approach to admissions consulting is holistic and student-centered. She understands that for students, an application is more than just a submission—it represents their future and is a major investment. Krystle has guided many students through evaluating factors such as school rankings, location, and cost to help them find their best fit. Students she has coached have been accepted to top law schools at USC, UChicago, Northwestern, Boston University, Columbia, NYU, Duke, UPenn, Vanderbilt, UT Austin, and Georgetown. She takes immense satisfaction in supporting students through this journey and celebrating their successes.

In her spare time, Krystle enjoys seeking adventure and volunteering with animal organizations. She managed to combine the two when she met her husband while volunteering at an animal shelter. They quickly bonded over their shared love of dogs and adrenaline-filled activities and jumped at the chance to go wing walking—standing on the wings of an in-flight plane before strapping in for aerial acrobatics—on their first real date. They now live in sunny Arizona with their beloved dog, Ginger.
