My Services
Essay Coaching
I work 1-on-1 with students, meeting them where they are to brainstorm, structure, and polish an authentic essay they can be proud of. I work with students in-person and virtually. We can start from scratch together or I can review essays at any stage.
College Advising
I work with students at all stages:
- Crafting a college list
- Completing college applications
- Creating a merit-chasing strategy
- Thinking critically about summer opportunities, career exploration, passion projects, clubs, and leadership roles
- Applying for scholarships, graduate school, fellowships, and professional programs
Résumé Review
I work with students and professionals to create one or more résumés for online and in-person career opportunities, including career fairs, internships, and online job applications.
Workshops
I offer workshops to middle schoolers, high schoolers, and their parents on a variety of topics, including how to tackle all kinds of applications they will encounter in life.
Scholarships
I have coached students to win a number of competitive scholarships, including help with required applications, essays, videos, and interviews. A list of scholarships past students who have worked with me have won can be found in the FAQ.
Career Exploration
I work 1-on-1 with students to match their interests and strengths to potential careers. Together, we can brainstorm strategies to gain experience, build skills, and make connections that can lead to a rewarding career after graduation.
