The People Behind Eliot Advisors

Our Team

When you work with Eliot Advisors, you work directly with us — both of us. No staff. No intermediaries. Two founders, fully invested in your student's success.

Deni-Kay Freier

Deni-Kay Freier

Co-Founder

The strategist. Two decades of admissions interviewing experience and a sharp eye for what elite admissions committees are looking for.

After graduating Harvard College with honors, Deni-Kay spent time in management consulting before building a distinguished career in commercial real estate. Throughout her career, she has maintained a deep connection to Harvard — interviewing prospective students for over two decades and served as President of the Harvard Club of Georgia.

Alexandra Polites

Alexandra Polites

Co-Founder

The storyteller. An Art History graduate with a career in brand identity and communications — she finds the narrative others miss.

After graduating Magna Cum Laude in Fine Arts from Harvard, Alexandra spent most of her career working for several international companies, primarily in the fields of corporate identity, public relations, and advertising. Her creative background brings a unique perspective to the essay and narrative-building process. She is based in New York.
