Aleksej Aarsaether- pronounced Alex-say Darth Vader minus the ‘D’ and an ‘S’ instead of a ‘V’ – is a proud Norwegican (a Mexican born in Norway) with a passion for education. Thanks to great mentors, a mom who read every college-application-advising book published, and a dad who drove to far-too-many early morning debate tournaments, Aleksej was accepted to Cornell University where he received a Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations and minors in Inequality Studies, Performing and Media Arts, Business, and Theatre. At Cornell, his love for coaching blossomed and he has since had the privilege to help guide aspiring arts leaders and writers to achieve their goals at Center Theatre Group, The Austin Film Festival, and many other exciting organizations. As a Breakthrough Coach, he is ecstatic to speak with you about your graduate school aspirations and see if The Art of Applying® can help you achieve your dreams.
