Hello! I'm Sebastian, a professional writer and college essay coach. I graduated with highest distinction from the University of Virginia, where I won the Walter Sokel Essay Prize, and I hold an MFA from the University of Florida (a top-five program), where I was a Grinter scholar. I have over twenty years of experience as a a writer and teacher of writing, including as a university writing instructor, technical writer, copy editor, editor, instructional designer, and essay coach. My passion is helping students craft top-notch college-admissions essays, and helping them find their voices and develop their writing skills along the way.
I coach both independently and for two top college prep companies, but I am committed to keeping my student list small (so that I am available when my students need me) and my rates in reach for working families.
