You know how stressful and paralyzing it is to update your own resume?  I help people by creating a new resume or editing their outdated resume, making them a top job candidate. 
​
You know how being a "well-rounded student," having good SAT scores, and a high GPA aren't enough to get into your top college?  I provide students with coaching on brainstorming a topic, creating a rough draft, and editing a final essay, making them stand out among their peers with a highly competitive essay. Going a step further, I also coach students on interviewing (a strong interview will leave a lasting impression with admissions).

Why is the college application essay so important?
  • The essay is heavily weighted in the college application process (especially with test-optional and test-blind colleges)
  • For a "borderline" student, the essay can push you over to the admitted category
  • It gives you the opportunity to tell a story about a talent, skill, or experience that sets you apart
  • You can use the essay to explain adversity and how it may have negatively affected your grades
