Hi! I'm Catherine, a writing coach with a PhD in English from Duke University, an MA in English from the University of British Columbia, and a BA in English from UC Berkeley. I have over six years of experience helping students become stronger, more confident writers. As a writing consultant at Duke, I provided over 100 one-on-one consultations to undergraduate and graduate students on academic essays, theses, and graduate school applications. I've also taught undergraduate English and writing courses at Duke in classroom settings of 12-25 students, where I received the Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching.
My approach is collaborative and student-centered. I start by understanding your goals, then help you clarify your ideas, strengthen your structure, and refine your voice through guided feedback and revision. I work with high school and college students on a wide range of projects, including application essays, academic writing, personal statements, and more. Let's chat!
