Hi! I’m Bryan, and I'm an experienced college admissions consultant with over 8 years of success helping students craft powerful, authentic college essays that stand out at the nation’s most selective schools, including the Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, and other top-tier universities. My specialty is guiding students through the essay writing process—from brainstorming and outlining to final edits—so they can present their unique voice and story with clarity, purpose, and impact.

Over the past 8+ years, I’ve worked with students from all different backgrounds and helped them translate their experiences into compelling narratives that elevate their entire application. If you’re looking for expert, one-on-one college essay help, I’m here to guide the writing process from confusion to clarity, and from first draft to final polish. Because in a sea of applications, a powerful essay is what makes admissions readers stop and remember you.

Applying to college is one of the most important and personal journeys a student will take—and at the center of that journey is the story they choose to tell. As an experienced college counselor with a strong focus on essay development, I help students uncover and articulate their most authentic and compelling narratives. My process is highly personalized and collaborative, designed to meet each student where they are and guide them with clarity and care.

From the start, I help students identify which parts of their story are most resonant, and how those stories can be shaped into a clear, cohesive narrative that aligns with what admissions officers are truly looking for: originality, thoughtfulness, and a strong sense of self.

Once a direction is established, we move into drafting. I offer detailed, hands-on feedback at every stage, starting with high-level guidance on structure, narrative flow, and thematic focus, and moving into line-by-line editing for tone, clarity, and grammar. My comments are specific, actionable, and designed to help students preserve their voice while elevating the craft of their writing. We typically go through multiple drafts, with each round refining the story until it’s polished.

Whether we’re working on a Common App personal statement, supplemental essays, or short-answer responses, my goal is to help students feel confident in their voice and strategic in their presentation. I bring a sharp editorial eye, deep knowledge of the admissions landscape, and a calm, supportive presence to every step of the process. The result is not just stronger essays, but a clearer sense of identity, and a more compelling application overall.
