Before founding Transcend Admissions Consultants, David accumulated a diverse range of legal, business, government and consulting industry knowledge and experience while clerking for a judge in Philadelphia, working as an attorney/auditor at the U.S. Department of Labor in Washington D.C., and acting as a consultant at Deloitte in Taipei.
David holds Master in Laws (LLM) and Juris Doctor (JD) degrees from Georgetown University Law Center and Widener University School of Law, respectively.
Through applying the analytical thinking and writing skills he developed during his legal education and while publishing judicial opinions, law review articles and industry materials, David and Transcend Admissions have been able to raise the bar for admissions consulting in Asia by helping clients create persuasive yet simple application materials and deliver memorable interview performances that “stick” in the minds of the admissions committee. David is proficient in spoken Mandarin Chinese and is particularly driven to do everything possible to help international applicants navigate the many hurtles standing between them and a successful application.
