My Process

College Admissions Success Call

We start with a free, no-obligation to buy, comprehensive 45-minute call. We’ll take notes on your current reality and your goals, see if we’re a great fit to work together, and see which package would work well.

Whenever you or your family are ready, book your call.

Working on Your Essays + Unlimited Editing

We focus on the Common App Personal Statement, Supplemental Essays (undergrad) or Personal Statement and Writing Sample (grad school), because this is where you can truly tell your story and stand out as an individual. All packages include unlimited editing rounds, so we get your essay right.

Check-in Calls & Other Services

Once we’ve worked through the first draft of your essay, we’ll have brainstorming calls and check-ins via Zoom at the frequency determined by the package you choose.

I’m always available to answer your questions by email or chat. I’m with you every step of the way!
