If you want to apply to a competitive school or job and get in by being exactly who you are, I just might be the coach for you.

Some of the outcomes you can expect from working with me:

  • Concise, compelling essays that reveal your authentic and best self. You are not going to be admitted to the school of your dreams by listing the “facts” of your life or by saying what you think they want to hear. You will be admitted because the admissions committee falls in love with your story–what you say about your past, your current situation, and your goals for the future. Anyone can help you put together the facts. I’m here to help you weave together your story in an authentic way.
  • A better understanding of yourself and how to get the most out of your time in school.  My coaching is a journey of self-discovery. After my specially designed writing activities and exercises, you will have increased clarity about your educational and professional goals, and understand how to best communicate that in your essays and interviews. You will also be more well prepared to navigate your new educational and professional environment.
  • Increased skill in writing and editing your own essays. The writing strategies I teach you through my editing and coaching will help you well beyond applying to school. I provide candid feedback so that you can really learn what your strengths and weaknesses are as a writer, making you a better writer for the rest of your educational experience. Writing is an essential skill in almost every job. The coaching experience with me will help you become your own best editor going forward.
