I turned my own skill with graduate-school applications--including admission to the US's top clinical psychology Master's/PhD program--into a way to help other applicants succeed. I do that by helping them find the right stories to tell and put their best foot forward, using my experience/success not only with applications but with writing fiction, narrative non-fiction, screenplays, and other story-driven work. Story is the best way to show admissions committees the "person behind the profile." That's what I help my clients do.

Applying to occupational therapy programs involves many moving parts, and having clear guidance can make the process feel far more manageable.

As a coach, I focus on providing clarity, structure, and concrete next steps so students feel supported and confident throughout their applications.

I help students win places at leading UK universities through clear strategy and high-quality writing. I am a recent graduate of Durham University (Geography), finishing 4th in my year with a First Class (78), and I went on to complete a Master’s at the University of Cambridge, graduating 11th in my year with a Distinction (76). Because I have moved through the admissions system recently, my guidance is grounded in what selectors are looking for now, not legacy playbooks. I support applicants across the full process, including: Personal statements (structure, narrative, evidence, line-by-line editing); University selection (course fit, entry requirements, competitiveness, strategy); Admissions tests (study plans, question approach, timed practice); Interviews (prep frameworks, mock interviews, feedback, confidence under pressure). If you want a rigorous, modern approach and an application that reads credibly, I can help you build a submission that materially improves your odds.
