Hello! I'm Allison, and I'm excited to help you craft a standout college essay. I am a high school counselor with 13 years of experience, and I've guided hundreds of students through the college application and essay writing process. I graduated from Boston University, and then worked as an Admissions Coordinator in their undergraduate admissions office for a year. Afterward, I earned my masters degree in School Counseling from Suffolk University, along with a Certificate in College Admissions Counseling.

Through my extensive experience, I am well-versed in what admissions counselors look for in a college essay. The essay is the one place where you can showcase who you are beyond grades and test scores. It’s your chance to let the admissions committee see how you think, what drives you, and what makes you stand out from other applicants. Helping students self-reflect and articulate their story in a compelling way is so rewarding, and I love being part of that process.

My approach is patient, warm, and encouraging. I see myself as a cheerleader for my students throughout the process. I understand that the college application and essay writing can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable exploring ideas without fear of judgment. I want to help you build confidence in your writing and guide you toward your best work.

I'm happy to meet with you for a one-time session, or we can schedule regular sessions throughout the writing process. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I look forward to working with you!

Grab Allison! No one better!

Allison was the best decision we made for our son’s college application journey. My son was applying to highly selective schools as a top-tier student with extensive extracurriculars, living in a city known for its talent. Allison provided reliable, supportive guidance and was a joy to work with. Through their discussions, my son learned how to cultivate deeper intentionality in his writing. She mentored him through the application process with attention to detail and served as a sounding board as he organized his activities and awards to effectively demonstrate his impact. I highly recommend jumping at the chance to work with Allison. She is a treasure. My son was accepted to his first-choice school, one of the best in the world.
