I'm a Duke University student with a strong passion for writing, editing, reading, and helping students express their ideas clearly and confidently. I have previously helped college students with their applications and supplemental essays, while also working as a journalist for the Duke Chronicle and TimeOut Magazine with articles featured on Ocean Drive as well. At Duke, I've taken several writing and literature courses, beyond journalism.

My specialties are academic writing, essay editing, and college supplemental writing. I've worked with students one-on-one to refine structure, strengthen arguments, elevate their voices without losing authenticity, meet strict word-count limits, and brainstorm writing ideas! Previously, I've tutored elementary, middle, and high school students through service organizations like Breakthrough in a variety of subjects.

I aim to make the writing process less intimidating and more empowering, whether you're looking for help on college essays or simply want to become a stronger writer. I truly love reading and writing, and care deeply about helping students to achieve their goals and feel proud of their work!
