Erin Williams

Welcome! I earned my master’s degree in Comparative Social Policy from the University of Oxford, where I developed firsthand experience with the graduate admissions process and the demands of a rigorous, internationally competitive master’s program. I understand that applying to graduate school is about more than presenting strong credentials. It’s about articulating a clear intellectual direction and showing why a particular program is the right next step. I help applicants develop that narrative, from identifying the experiences and interests that distinguish them to crafting compelling statements of purpose and personal statements. My background also includes degrees from Duke University and Stanford Law School, as well as experience practicing law as an associate at Gibson Dunn. I have built my career around research, persuasive writing, strategic communication, and distilling complex experiences into clear and compelling narratives. Whether you’re deciding how to position your academic and professional background, developing your statement of purpose, or refining your final application materials, I’ll help you present a thoughtful, cohesive application that demonstrates both what you have accomplished and where you want to go next.
