Winning Essays That Will Be Liked, Believed, and Remembered
I have successfully coached 300+ students in the college admissions process, so I understand the nuances of crafting standout applications for admissions committees. Among other things, I help with essay writing (my specialty), resume and interview preparation, and overall application strategy. I have undergrad and grad degrees in writing, including from Northwestern, and I wrote and edited essays and human-interest stories for news outlets for more than 20 years. I've also taught resume writing and interview prep at two colleges.
