Are you a sophomore who is unsure how to elevate your extracurriculars to demonstrate impressive impact? Maybe a junior who has never asked for a letter of recommendation before, or doesn't know where to begin building a college list? Or maybe you're a senior who is staring at a mountain of essays, unsure how to make them stand out? Or possibly you're a parent reading this, getting nervous about scholarships and how to help your child navigate this hyper-competitive process?

Most sessions begin with taking stock of your academic and extracurricular profile. Depending on your college goals and how much time we have together, we'll brainstorm ways to scale and quantify your leadership and impact. Next, we'll develop a work plan, draft your personal statement, and develop a strategy for every supplemental essay to ensure each application tells the most fulsome story of you. And after your applications are submitted, we'll help you shine in your admissions interview. Whomever and wherever you are, I'll meet you there! Whether you prefer live sessions to brainstorm together or you prefer exchanging drafts back and forth offline, I'm here to help however you work best.

The college admissions process can be daunting. I know, I've been there. I've helped hundreds of students shape their stories over the last decade and am excited to help you too.
