I specialize in finding the story underneath the story you think you're supposed to tell. I work with medical school personal statements and secondary essays, law school, PA, CRNA, and other health professions application essays.
My background is unusual for this work: I'm a literary fiction writer with a Master's in Education and ten years of classroom teaching. That combination means I bring a craft writer's instincts to high-stakes professional writing. I'm listening for voice,...

Working with Philip on my medical school applications was a gratifying experience! He helped make my writing more coherent, and helped me to articulate stories that I never knew would have such an impact in telling my story. In the writing process, he diligently took notes on my stories and asked pointed questions about my experiences to make sure that my voice was never lost. He took time to learn about the expectations necessary for the medical admissions requirements and made sure to check off all the necessary requirements throughout the process. From starting with mediocre writing drafts (64/100 on claude's scoring rubric) to phenomenal writing submissions (96/100 on claude's scoring rubric), I would proudly recommend Philip to another pre-health student! Thank you so, so much!! :)

Incredibly helpful and supportive
I had a great experience working with Philip on my personal statement and supplemental essays. He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and gave me thoughtful feedback while still making sure my writing stayed true to my own voice. He helped me see the strengths in my work and made me feel much more confident in my own writing and ideas. His guidance helped me improve my essays, clearly communicate my experiences and goals in my writing, and made me feel much more prepared with my college application process. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help with their college essays!

Amazing personal statement for a law school application!!!
I reached out to Philip to edit my personal statement for law school. Through probing I went in a different direction. I am 100% glad I did. He was able to pull something out of me that I never would have thought of. I was struggling with my narrative and he helped me find the right angle. He helped me find my authentic voice in my statement. I felt very confident about the final draft. He went above and beyond even doing research in his free time regarding my topic. His help was invaluable. He also helped me craft this in active voice which was challenging for me.
