"Hi! I'm Alex. I want to use my master's in English from Georgetown University to help you with your writing, creative work, and admissions process. I earned my BA in English and Art from Georgetown in 2022 and my MA in 2023. As an award-winning working journalist + artist newly NYC-based and doing full-time educational consulting in the humanities for several years, I know the skills you need for professional and personal success in your endeavors.

I've been a critic for 3+ years for DC Theater Arts, the area's premier source of performing arts coverage.

I'm a former interviewer for the Georgetown University Office of Undergraduate Admissions. I have helped students earn admission to top undergraduate and graduate schools, including Duke, USC, NYU, and UNC, as well as leading medical and dental programs and FIT in NYC. I understand what top schools are looking for and how to help you get into the best school for you.

I also contract with two firms in the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, where I have honed my winning methods with institutional knowledge.

Having grown up in academically rigorous Northern Virginia — I earned admission to TJHSST — I know the challenges of a hypercompetitive environment. I help students succeed while centering their own interests.

As an illustrator, I recently signed with Cagle Cartoons, America's leading newspaper syndicate for editorial illustration. I was the cartoonist for the Lincoln Project and the John Kerry-co-founded climate platform World War Zero. I have taught character design, digital art (Procreate, Photoshop), the basics, + more. I am the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists' 2024 Locher Fellow and am an elected AAEC Director. I was a Cartoon Crossroads Columbus Special Guest and exhibit nationwide, including at New York Comic Con through the National Cartoonists Society, Awesome Con, the Small Press Expo, and more.

Request me with questions — I want to work with you! My rates are negotiable in cases of need." less...
