* 4-Session Package ("Story & Outline"): Strategy, topic selection, structural outlines, and initial drafting.
* 8-Session Package ("Full Application Suite"): Brainstorming, drafting, polishing, and refining main essays + supplemental essays.
With 15 years of experience guiding students into top schools, I specialize in drawing out the stories that matter most. Balancing craft and strategy, I will help you to brainstorm, refine, and polish essays that capture your authentic voice and stand out to admissions officers.
My focus is on what students say as well as what they don’t. I help them uncover the small, powerful stories that reveal who they are and then help them sharpen those essays until they’re compelling, authentic, and impossible for admissions officers to ignore.
A strong college essay shouldn’t sound like everyone else’s, which is why I've been able to help students gain entry to schools such as Columbia, Carnegie Mellon, and NYU. Work with me to draw out your best ideas and turn them into essays that win.

For hourly sessions on SuperProf, my rate is $60/hour, which covers only our live Zoom time. For my private clients, I offer a 4-Session Personal Statement Package for $450. This locks in four 1-on-1 sessions AND includes all offline draft reading, line-editing in Google Docs between calls, and direct text/email support through deadline day, a much better deal for families who want guaranteed results.
