I work with a diverse range of students and take them from brainstorming to an authentic, meaningful essay.

Writing the college essay can feel overwhelming and lonesome, and one-on-one mentorship can help make the process easier.

All writers benefit from feedback and conversation. I love working with students to discover their story, harness their authentic voice, and refine their narrative so that they feel good about what they’re submitting to colleges.

I work one-on-one, both in person and remotely, with a handful of students to:

  • brainstorm ideas

  • decide on/discover a meaningful story

  • structure their narrative

  • revise their work — I keep ethics at the FORE of my work and adopt a workshop model when offering feedback
