Career Development, Admissions Application, and Writing Coach

Gabriella P.

I offer personalized career development, university admission, and academic writing coaching that is engaging, compassionate, and research-based. I care about helping you building a meaningful professional life you are proud of. Bringing a sense of humor as well as excellent communication, organization, and listening skills to understand your professional goals and areas of growth.

I enjoy working one-on-one with students to bring together their career aspirations with research-based vocational psychology. As part of my training to become a psychologist, I am the instructor of a semester-long career development course, teaching 140 undergraduate students about the process of self-discovery, strategy, and decision-making necessary to build a meaningful professional life.

If interested in career development, our work together may include exploring introspective self-assessments, perspective-enhancing career assessment tools, and practical skills in developing rich professional materials to achieve ambitious goals. I provide pragmatic tools to overcome career indecision and uncertainty, practice and mock interviews, as well as time to develop tangible career assets, such as a resume, cover letter, or curriculum vitae.

In addition to career direction, I also assist in developing application materials for university and graduate school admissions. I would love to work with you in developing your writing or overcoming writers block so that you never have to rely on generative AI. I am also happy to assist in reviewing your personal statement or statement of purpose, diversity statement, curriculum vitae, and other writing samples.

I am in my second year of a funded Ph.D. program in Counseling Psychology and in addition to teaching I am training to become a therapist and researcher. During my free-time I enjoy long walks exploring the Capital Region of New York with my partner and our dog.
