Hi, my name is Desideria, but I go by Desi!

Desideria P.

Hi! My name is Desideria, and I am a graduate student passionate about helping others succeed academically and professionally. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and am currently a full-time Master of Social Work (MSW) student at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) Jane Addams College of Social Work. As I finish my first year, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA and consistently received 100% scores on my graduate-level papers.

During undergrad, I was premed and later attended medical school in the Caribbean for a semester before realizing that social work better fit my goals. My academic background has given me firsthand experience with undergraduate and graduate school applications, and I was accepted into every undergraduate school I applied to. I also successfully applied and interviewed for my current internship, where I write professional therapy documentation and case notes, gaining hands-on experience in clinical and professional writing.

I specialize in college and graduate school applications, essay writing, interview preparation, resume building, and academic research. I help students with research projects, analyze scholarly literature, and strengthen writing skills for undergrad and graduate-level coursework. My experience in social sciences, premed coursework, and professional writing allows me to guide students in refining their writing, improving study skills, and developing strong academic and professional documents.

I work with high school students applying to college, undergraduates seeking academic support, and adults looking to enhance their writing, resumes, and applications. Whether you need help crafting a compelling personal statement, improving academic writing, preparing for an interview, or strengthening your professional documents, I am here to help. Let’s work together to make the process easier and help you succeed!
