Toby
With more than 15 years of experience in university admissions, Toby supports students as they develop thoughtful, compelling applications to leading universities in the U.K., the United States, and around the world. His work focuses not just on where students apply, but on helping them understand who they are as learners and how to communicate that clearly through their applications.
Before joining Interface, Toby served as an admissions officer at the University of Oxford and later worked closely with students applying to highly selective universities across the U.K. and internationally. During that time, he helped hundreds of students navigate competitive admissions processes and developed a deep understanding of how admissions readers evaluate academic preparation, intellectual curiosity, and personal character.
