"I’m a Harvard Ed.M. graduate who specializes in college admissions essays—Common App essays, UC PIQs, transfer essays, scholarship essays, and grad school statements of purpose. I help students brainstorm, structure, write, and polish powerful essays that sound like them and stand out to admissions readers.

My approach is clear, supportive, and results-driven. Think of each college essay like a puzzle:

• Brainstorming = finding the edge pieces

• Outlining = building the frame

• Writing = filling in the center

• Polishing = placing the final pieces

This process reduces stress, avoids perfectionism too early, and helps students stay focused from start to finish.

I work with students applying to:

• Ivy League & top-tier private schools

• University of California schools (UC PIQs)

• Competitive public universities

• Transfer programs, graduate schools, and scholarships

I don’t believe in templates or robotic editing. I help students find the best version of their story and bring it to life—whether we’re crafting a Common App essay, responding to a supplemental prompt, or writing a compelling statement of purpose.

My clients have earned admissions offers from:

Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, MIT, Cornell, UPenn, Brown, UChicago, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and more.

If you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or just want a second set of expert eyes, I’d love to help. Whether you’re starting from scratch or finalizing a draft, I’ll meet you where you are.

Let’s write an essay that works—for you and your future." less...
