Duke Undergrad, former writing coach
Welcome to my profile! I’m a Duke University graduate (Public Policy major, History minor) with a deep love for storytelling, mentorship, and helping students present their best, most authentic selves on paper. My background—ranging from working as a paralegal to my current studies at NYU School of Law—has sharpened my ability to listen closely, ask the right questions, and translate complex experiences into clear, persuasive writing. I’ve worked with several students through the college admissions process, working one-on-one to uncover their unique voices, shape compelling personal narratives, and build cohesive, standout applications. Students I work with value my collaborative, supportive approach and my attention to detail—especially when it comes to essays that feel genuine, confident, and polished. I’d love to partner with you to tell your story in a way that feels true to you and compelling to admissions officers. Reach out anytime to chat about your goals and how I can help you get there.
