I am a licensed attorney with a specialty in writing and legal research. I love helping students of all ages and educational backgrounds refine and strengthen their writing. I have tutored high school, college, and law students in essay writing, personal statements, legal memoranda, and research papers. My work extends to Bar Exam takers, with whom I have worked for the past 3 years as they prepare for the essay portion of the exam. I take a warm and collaborative approach with honest feedback that is tailored to each student's voice and the purpose of their assignment.

I have been practicing law for 7 years. I graduated from Washington and Lee University School of Law. I worked in the Federal Immigration Court as a law clerk to immigration judges doing legal research and writing. I got this position through the U.S. Department of Justice's Attorney General Honors Program. I then worked in the Staff Attorney's Office at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where I wrote memoranda and decisions for Federal Appellate Judges on immigration appeals. Since 2023, I have been working as an immigration attorney at a large public defense nonprofit organization in New York City. I have expertise in legal research and writing, and I specialize in federal immigration litigation. I have led numerous trainings and taught continuing legal education courses for attorneys on these subjects.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014 with a double major in Spanish and International Studies as well as a minor in Women's Studies.

Finally, I hold a Teaching English as a Foreign Language ("TEFL") certification. From 2012 to 2015, I taught ESL to adult Spanish speakers and a Citizenship Test Prep Course in a classroom setting to students from all over the world. I am fluent in Spanish and have tutored high school and college students in their Spanish courses as well.

Please reach out with any questions about my background or services! I'd love to work with you.

I specialize in the essay portion and can assist with structure, efficiency, and clarity in your writing. I love empowering students and helping build their confidence. In my 7 years as a practicing attorney, I have clerked with federal judges in immigration court and at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. I specialize in federal immigration litigation and spend most of my time drafting briefs and preparing oral arguments.

Personal Statements

I have been a practicing attorney for 7 years, 5 of which I spent as a federal law clerk. In that role, I drafted memoranda and decisions for federal judges. This required strong analytical skills, an ability to produce well-structured writing (often under time constraints), and attention to detail. I can help students find the proper flow for each piece of their writing and share editing techniques that ensure no typo is left behind. I have tutored students of all ages with writing and can assist folks in the development and articulation of a strong thesis or narrative. I take a warm and collaborative approach, and I genuinely enjoy seeing students grow in their confidence with writing.
Spanish

I learned the language in school myself and understand the challenges for native English speakers that Spanish poses. I can assist students with study skills as well. Thank you!

Katie by far is the best tutor I have ever had

Katie by far is the best tutor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When I first got news that I did not pass the bar, I started doing some online research as to which tutor to hire. My research led me to Katie. Our interactions and tutoring sessions are something that I looked forward to every week. We would meet and discuss detailed plans, as well as in depth approaches for answering bar exam MEE and MPT questions. As a former Captain in the United States Army, and someone who returned to school after several years, it was difficult for me to ask for help. Katie was there every step of the way; she helped me build confidence and competence. I would recommend her without reservation for any student regardless of ability level.
