I graduated magna cum laude from Wellesley College with a double major in Psychology and English, and I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology. During my time at Wellesley, I worked as a Writing TA for two years, where I independently created syllabi, designed lesson plans, and taught students one-on-one and in small group settings. This hands-on experience taught me how to break down complex writing concepts, adapt to different learning styles, and help students find and develop their unique voice.

I specialize in college essay and application prep, and I understand firsthand what top-tier schools are looking for in personal statements and supplemental essays. I guide high school students through every stage of the process, from brainstorming compelling topics to crafting polished final drafts that authentically showcase who they are. But I'm not just here for college apps! I also help students with regular school essays, research papers, literary analysis, grammar, and general writing skills. Whether you're working on your English class assignment or your Common App essay, I'm here to help.

My teaching approach is patient, encouraging, and results-oriented. I know how to help students stand out in competitive applicant pools while staying true to themselves, and I genuinely enjoy watching students grow as writers and gain confidence. I work with students at all levels, from high school through college, and I tailor every session to your specific needs and goals.

College Counseling

College Counseling

I graduated from Wellesley College, one of the most selective liberal arts colleges in the country, and I understand firsthand what competitive schools look for in applications. As a Writing Teaching Assistant for two years, I guided students through the college essay writing process, helping them identify compelling topics, craft authentic narratives, and polish their personal statements to stand out in applicant pools. I provide comprehensive support throughout the application process, including essay brainstorming and editing, supplemental essay strategy, and general application guidance. Whether you're aiming for Ivy League schools, liberal arts colleges, or state universities, I help students present their best, most authentic selves while navigating the stress of the admissions process.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

As an English major at Wellesley College, I took advanced creative writing workshops in fiction, personal narrative, and craft, developing a strong foundation in storytelling techniques and voice development. During my two years as a Writing Teaching Assistant, I worked with students on creative pieces including personal essays, short stories, and college application narratives, helping them find their authentic voice and refine their craft. I specialize in helping writers at all levels brainstorm ideas, develop compelling characters and narratives, and revise their work to make it more vivid and engaging. Whether you're working on a creative assignment for class or pursuing writing as a personal passion, I provide constructive feedback that helps you grow as a storyteller.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I served as a Writing Teaching Assistant at Wellesley College for two years, where I independently created lesson plans and taught students how to craft clear, compelling essays across genres, from analytical and argumentative essays to personal statements and research papers. My English major gave me deep expertise in essay structure, thesis development, evidence integration, and revision strategies. I specialize in helping students at all levels strengthen their writing process, whether that means brainstorming ideas, organizing arguments, improving clarity and flow, or polishing grammar and style. I work with both high school and college students on everything from regular class assignments to high-stakes college application essays.

Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

As a Writing Teaching Assistant at Wellesley College for two years, I specialized in helping students develop strong, arguable thesis statements and structure compelling research papers across disciplines. I completed my own senior thesis in psychology last year, where I designed and conducted an original experiment, analyzed statistical results, and presented my findings in formal academic writing—so I understand the thesis process from start to finish. I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology, which means I work with complex academic writing regularly. I can help with both humanities-style thesis writing (literary analysis, argumentative essays) and scientific writing (research papers, lab reports, experimental design, results sections, APA formatting). Whether you're working on a high school research paper, college thesis, or scientific report, I guide you through crafting focused arguments, integrating evidence, and presenting your work clearly and persuasively.
