College Application Support
Applying to college can be a confusing and overwhelming process, with a myriad of prompts, word counts, and due dates to juggle. My goal is to demystify this process, offering empathetic and experienced guidance so that each student can navigate their college applications with confidence and clarity.
Crafting a Compelling Personal Statement
Your personal statement is one of the most critical pieces of your college application. It’s your chance to tell your story, highlight your strengths, and stand out from the crowd. I work closely with each student to help them craft a compelling, authentic personal statement that reflects who they are.

Supplemental Essays and More
In addition to the personal statement, I also offer support for:
Supplemental Essays: I’ll help you craft responses that are thoughtful and specific to each college, ensuring your application is cohesive and personalized.
