I help students craft college application essays that are authentic, compelling, and strategically positioned to stand out in a competitive admissions landscape. 

Students come to me for support on all major written components of the college application, including the Common App personal statement, the University of California Personal Insight Questions (PIQs), and school-specific supplemental essays. I also offer guidance on scholarship essays, transfer application essays, letters of continued interest, and activity lists. 

For those just getting started, I offer a structured approach to brainstorming that helps students generate ideas, identify meaningful topics, and begin telling their story with clarity and purpose. From there, I assist with shaping the narrative, developing key themes, and building a strong, intentional framework for each essay. Once a student has a working draft, I provide targeted feedback to refine their ideas, improve structure, and ensure the writing is polished, focused, and persuasive.

The result is a powerful, well-crafted essay that showcases the student’s unique voice and perspective.
