My process

My main goal from our first interaction is to better understand who you are, your values, and your aspirations. As I learn more about you, I help make connections between various experiences you've had that will allow us to craft a coherent narrative for college admissions essays. Having the privilege of hearing your story and brainstorming ways to eloquently present your story is something that means a lot to me.
