Coaches professionally
As a former United States Naval Academy midshipman and Columbia University graduate, I bring a unique perspective to service academy and ROTC admissions coaching. Over the past decade, I've guided numerous applicants through the intricate process of crafting compelling essays and applications, leading to successful admissions at prestigious institutions like Cornell University and Cooper Union. My approach is comprehensive, covering everything from brainstorming and narrative design to final polish, ensuring each application reflects the applicant's true voice and potential. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining a near-final draft, I'm here to provide actionable feedback and support. Let's work together to make your application stand out!
