Compelling admissions essays with a distinctive personal voice take thought. I'll guide you to hone your own voice and work effectively.

I have a proven approach and method for developing a personal story that can only come from you. Our work together is thus tailored to you—and designed to lessen guesswork, avoid pitfalls, and deepen the quality of your storytelling.

The goal: insight, clarity and the confidence of your trusting yourself...along with those sweet words, "yes, you're in."

I've found the best results come with a complete program that leans into your strengths, responds to your individual writing and thought processes, keeps you on track, and stretches you with new skills and tools.

Benefit from feedback, accountability, and support—from our first conversation through free writing, essay development, and revision. I'll listen, discern, and sketch a way forward. And you can count on me to be candid and kind. When something's not working, I say so and explain how the word, idea, or element is not having the effect on the reader that you intend.

Throughout, I'll share relevant, bite-sized content about arc, audience, hook, character, tone, and the genre of personal narrative.

I keep our work well-documented, so you stay in action and inspired.

The program includes bonus advice on: corresponding with admissions, faculty and financial aid offices; developing your activities list; researching a school; and refining your college list.

INVESTMENT: $2900, payable as a $1200 deposit, with two additional payments of $850. Invoiced monthly.

*Outside the Bay Area? We can work by phone or Google Hangout.


SINGLE ADVISING SESSION

Each family has its own dynamic for making decisions. That's why I offer a single advising session for your student to meet me and sample my approach in action before committing to the full program. ($160, 60 minutes.)


INTERVIEW PREPARATION

Interview preparation is available as an add-on to your personal statement program. Let me know what your needs are, and we can make a plan.


WINTER QUICK-START FOR YOUR SUMMER PLANS (January 2-11, 2019)

Head back to campus with clarity and momentum, having created the template of an authentic, vivid cover letter that you can adapt for your potential summer internship/job/program applications. I've found we can accomplish so much in these two weeks because I already know the back-story (yours!) and how you work best. One round of edits on your resume is included.
