One-on-one essay inspiration and support for undergraduate, transfer, and grad school applicants
Let’s connect today!
WELCOME! I imagine you’re here because you or someone you love is feeling the pressure of the college application process—particularly the essay. You’ve come to the right place! My multistep and time-tested coaching process begins with an extensive brainstorming session and then guides each client from a blank screen or sheet of paper to an application essay that reflects their voice, interests, and personal outlook on the world.
I work with students of all backgrounds and writing abilities and view myself as a cheerleader, showing my clients how to make the most of their interests and life experiences in a form many aren’t used to, the personal narrative. My goal is to help each student develop confidence in their writing and to bring to every essay the unique way they connect their experiences, opinions, feelings, and ideas.
My coaching program is virtual—we speak by phone and use Google docs—so that I am able to meet with students across town, across the country, and sometimes across the world.
Four- and 10-hour packages, as well as single-hour sessions, are available to undergraduate, transfer, and grad school applicants.
Please contact me for details. Let’s discuss how I can help take the stress out of applying to college!

P.S. For decades I oversaw regional alumni interviewing for an Ivy League university, and so I am also able to prepare interested students for college interviews with tips, résumé-writing support, and practice interviews.
