My process

I consider myself an expert in helping you craft your 'story.' The storytelling component is the most important part of a college application today. I dedicate my time to working through all the kinks of your high school story and painting you in the best light possible to the admissions office--all through your personal statement, supplemental essays, and extracurricular sheet. The majority of my time with clients is spent brainstorming and writing essays, and I give very direct and honest advice about what you should and should not do throughout the process.The earlier you start working with me, the better I can help you build a thorough plan and craft your application from start to finish. Although I am not offering any packages at this time, I am available for adhoc essay reviews, and my inbox is always open for any application-related questions.
