Hi! I’m Erin, a journalist with 15 years of experience in the media industry. My writing has been published in national news outlets including CBS News, Smithsonian Magazine, USA Today, the Huffington Post, Jezebel and more. I am an experienced student writing mentor, and I can help you write a strong college application essay that will impress the admissions team.

Writing an academic admissions essay can be a daunting task. My goal is to ease the stress and overwhelm of the application process by giving you top notch writing guidance and professional editing services. As a journalist, I’m an expert in storytelling, and I encourage students to think of writing the admissions essay as telling their own story. I will help you decide on a strong essay topic, and my edits and feedback will ensure your writing shines. You will come away with an essay that demonstrates your academic abilities and showcases your unique background, talents and goals.

I have a bachelor of arts degree in Writing, Literature and Publishing from Emerson College and a Master of Arts in Journalism from American University. I have 15 years of experience in the media industry as a writer and editor, and I worked for nearly nine years as a reporter for CBSNews.com, the national website for CBS News. I have interviewed hundreds of people over the course of my career, and I understand the importance of active listening when it comes to telling great stories. As your college admissions essay coach, my first step is always to listen -- to hear from you about your academic goals, your extracurricular activities, and the interests and passions that make you, uniquely YOU. From there, my advice, feedback and edits will ensure your writing is clear, engaging, and compelling.

I am a student mentor with New York University's graduate journalism student program as well as a certified Teacher of English as a Foreign Language. Throughout my career, I have edited the work of student journalism interns and early career writers to prep their writing
