"I specialize in helping people write and edit their admissions essays, statements of purpose, and personal statements for college, graduate school, post-doctoral programs, as well as fellowships, scholarships, grant applications, and recommendation letters for academics and employers.

If cost is an issue, please contact me for some lower cost options including shorter appointment times and self-serve resources that I have created.

I have a BA in English and Creative Writing from Stetson University and an MA from Harvard in Religion, Ethics, and Politics. I am experienced in: medical school, dental school, law school, undergraduate and graduate school, and PhD personal statements. My goal is to help you revise your admissions essay, personal statement, and supplemental essays to improve word choice, syntax, grammar, spelling, purpose, detail, metrics, organization, and style.

I have advanced language training in Russian, French, and Spanish and I really enjoy working with ESL (English as a Second Language), international students, students with diverse backgrounds, first-generation students, and students who are the first in their family to go to college or graduate school.

Everyone has a wonderful story. As a language learner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to tell your story in a second or third language. With my background studying human rights, I also understand that there are very real barriers to higher education for many people. It is my goal to provide you with high quality edits to help you move past these barriers with the strongest application possible.

I am available for 30 or 60 minute appointment blocks. I am available: Monday-Friday from 8AM-10AM EST and 8PM-11PM EST Monday through Friday, and Saturday and Sunday mornings by appointment. I recommend a 60 minute appointment to edit 1,000 words (two pages single spaced) and provide general comments and feedback for students to make additional revisions." less...
