I’m a professional writer, editor, and college application coach with a B.A. in English with Honors and a minor in Medieval History from the University of California, Berkeley. I’m also a graduate of the Columbia Publishing Course at Oxford and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Columbia University. I bring over a decade of experience working with professional authors in the publishing industry, helping shape narratives that are clear, compelling, and authentic—skills I now apply to helping students craft standout essays and academic writing.
I specialize in college application support (Common App essays, UC PIQs, supplemental responses, and activity sections), as well as academic writing in English and history for middle school through college-level students. I’ve helped students gain admission to top undergraduate programs, as well as competitive graduate programs including medical school, law school, and physician assistant (PA) school. I also offer essay editing and writing mentorship for scholarships, honors applications, and personal statements.
My teaching experience includes one-on-one coaching, remote tutoring, and classroom work, supporting students from sixth grade through adulthood. I approach each session with clarity, compassion, and structure, helping even reluctant writers gain confidence and control. Whether we’re developing a thesis, polishing an application, or decoding a dense text, I meet students where they are and guide them toward mastery and pride in their writing.
Let me teach you how to polish your writing and get over the fear of the blank page.
