Expert College Essay Coach | Former UNC Professor
Hi, I’m Dr. Erica—writing coach, Fulbright Scholar, former college professor, and your dedicated admissions strategist. I specialize in guiding college applicants through the high-stakes process of crafting personal statements, Common App/UC materials, and supplemental essays that reflect who they are and resonate with admissions committees. My clients have been accepted to: • Ivy League institutions (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth) • Ivy Plus universities (Stanford, UChicago, Georgetown) • Top-ranked public universities (University of Michigan, UCLA, UVA, UNC–Chapel Hill) • Elite private colleges (University of Southern California, Amherst, Wesleyan, Davidson) As your coach, editor, project manager, and strategist, I’ll guide you step-by-step in crafting essays that are authentic, memorable, and compelling. I bring structure, clarity, and insight to a process that can often feel overwhelming—all while preserving your unique voice. I earned my Ph.D. from UNC–Chapel Hill, where I held the university’s most prestigious doctoral fellowship, and have taught at UNC–Chapel Hill and UNC School of the Arts. I’m also an Essay Specialist with College Essay Guy. These experiences ensure I bring expert guidance, tailored support, and a deep knowledge of the admissions landscape to help you succeed!
