Most high school students have only experienced writing academic papers, not personal statements. Fueled by my passion for creative writing, I help students find their voice, channel uniqueness, and scream passion through their writing — making their application glow amongst the rest. Moreover, I proofread the essays to check for spelling, grammar,punctuation, accuracy, and most importantly, a coherent flow that reflects the student’s personality. Résumé revisions are also offered.

Answering the question 'who am I?' and ‘what is my WHY?’ during teenage years can feel so daunting. These sessions will serve as a personal exploration to find a storyline that best depicts the student for essays and interviews — and life. They also include holistic exercises and tips to perform better on standardized tests and interviews, such as mock interviews and pre-exam grounding meditations. Additionally, I offer customized guidance on the overall application process: from filling the Common Application to asking for a letter of recommendation properly.

There are a gazillion things to check off the list before submitting a college application. On top of the application process tasks, there is AP Calc homework, soccer practice, french classes, newspaper club, and senior parties. By breaking down the never-ending application checklist into small, actionable steps, I holds the student's hand making sure everything gets done on time while making the process organized and enjoyable.
