Kelly Talim

Introduction: I am a recent graduate of Columbia University in the City of New York as well as The Juilliard School, where I studied Political Science and violin performance, respectively. As such, I have a unique perspective on college admissions as well as a wide array of knowledge. As a violinist, I have performed internationally in countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Germany, Italy, Korea, and Japan, as well as in halls all over the United States, including in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center here in New York. In 2014, I was also featured on a documentary on HBO and subsequently performed for then-president Barack Obama. I am passionate about writing, history, philosophy, art, and music, and I enjoy helping others pursue their interests, whether that be editing a paragraph or a paper or teaching violin.
