For graduate school applications, I will help you build a clear, cohesive narrative across every part of your application – beyond your essays. Strong candidates often have interesting experiences, but what sets successful applicants apart is how well they connect those experiences to a focused set of goals. I’ll work with you to identify the throughline in your background, refine your positioning, and ensure that your personal statement, resume, and overall application tell a consistent and compelling story. Whether you’re applying straight from school or after time in the workforce, my goal is to help you present an application that feels intentional and differentiated – such that top programs feel like they would be missing out if they didn't admit you. For MPP applications specifically, I help you go beyond simply stating your interest in policy and instead articulate a clear, credible pathway from your past experiences to your future impact. Policy schools are looking for more than strong academics – they want to understand your specific policy area, the types of issues you care about, and how you plan to engage with institutions, communities, or governments down the line. I’ll work with you to define your policy interests, sharpen your goals, and craft essays that demonstrate both intellectual seriousness and real-world motivation. Whether you're coming from government, the private sector, or a less typical background, I’ll help you position your experiences in a way that resonates with admissions committees and shows that you’ll meaningfully contribute to the classroom and beyond.
