Oria loves being able to help ease the stress that comes with the law school application process. She understands that many students feel overwhelmed by all the components and need more direction. She aims to provide more transparency about the process and share the resources, tips, and knowledge she has gained from her experience. 

Oria emphasizes that the rigorous nature of the admissions process reflects law schools' commitment to finding students who are ready to put in the necessary effort to succeed. She encourages students to view challenges as a normal part of the journey and celebrates every milestone, no matter how small, as each one is a step closer to their goals. Through her supportive approach, she helps students develop the skills and work ethic needed to thrive in law school

As a coach, Oria ensures students make the most of their law school application experience by providing flexibility within a structured application timeline. She excels at helping students break down the application process into manageable steps, making it easier for them to tackle. She provides students with insight and support when unexpected obstacles arise throughout the application process by gathering and sharing resources with applicants and helping them communicate professionally with schools. She also loves helping students craft their personal statements and supplemental essays, providing feedback on structure, writing style, and technical errors. 

When Oria isn't coaching, she enjoys trying new fitness classes.
