"I help ambitious students and professionals communicate like leaders. Even strong applicants struggle to translate impressive experience into a story that persuades. I specialize in admissions essays, personal statements, and interview preparation for graduate and professional programs, including MBA, JD, and MPA tracks. I’ll help you craft a narrative that commands attention and earns respect.

My perspective comes from experience inside the decision room. As a Harvard Kennedy School graduate (MPA) and former federal and state executive, I understand how leaders evaluate ideas and how to make yours stand out. I know how decision-makers think, what they look for, and how to turn your expertise into the clarity and confidence top programs expect.

My process is direct and efficient:

• Clarify your message: Define the values and motivation that make your story compelling.

• Build structure and argument: Organize your ideas into a persuasive, purposeful narrative.

• Refine for authority: Strengthen tone and delivery until your essay or interview reads with clarity and control.

Over fifteen years, I’ve helped graduate, fellowship, and executive applicants across the U.S. secure admission to competitive programs and advance their careers. Every session delivers visible progress, with practical strategies, measurable results, and real-world insight drawn from experience at the highest levels of leadership.
