Renata graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor’s degree in history and philosophy of science and a minor in administration of justice. She then earned her JD from George Washington University Law School. Professionally, she has interned at eBay and was a judicial extern for the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She currently serves as senior counsel at W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.

Renata loves coaching and mentoring students, helping them reach their personal and professional goals. Having received mentorship throughout her own law school application process, she understands the value a great coach has to applicants. Just like her mentors, Renata is passionate about helping students build their confidence and identify their strengths, contributing to a successful law school admission. Students she has coached have been accepted to law schools at Georgetown University, the University of Virginia, and UCLA, to name a few.

As a coach, Renata’s greatest strength is looking beyond the technical criteria of a successful law school application, such as a student’s GPA and LSAT score. She takes a holistic approach and aims to help candidates express their full, authentic selves within their application. She encourages and helps applicants stay true to themselves throughout the process.

A fun fact about Renata is she was deeply interested in literature during college. She earned certificates in children’s literature and medieval and Renaissance studies from the University of  Pittsburgh and was a Brackenridge Research Fellow.
