Are you staring at the Common App essay prompts and wondering where to begin? Maybe you're not sure which of your life stories will make the strongest essay, or perhaps you already know what you want to write but aren't sure how to put it into words.

After graduating from Harvard with a degree in English, I've worked with students to discover the stories only they can tell and transform them into compelling college essays. Together, we'll identify the experiences, values, and moments that reveal who you are and help you stand out amongst a highly competitive application pool.
My process is super collaborative and conversation-driven. Before we ever worry about perfect sentences, I’ll spend time getting to know you, discovering the experiences that matter most to you. I encourage students to write freely and without self-judgment. From there, we’ll refine your ideas through thoughtful revision until your essay is polished and personal.
In today’s competitive college admissions landscape where many applicants rely on AI-generated writing, a genuine, well-crafted essay has never been more important. I've seen firsthand the difference an authentic personal statement can make and have had the privilege of helping students gain admission to schools including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and many other highly selective colleges and universities.
My goal isn't just to help you write an essay that gets you into your dream school. I want to help you become a more confident, thoughtful writer while giving you the space to reflect meaningfully on your past and the person you're becoming. Writing your college essay can feel overwhelming, but it can also be one of the most rewarding parts of the application process. I'd love to help you tell your story.
