A great college essay can be the difference between an acceptance and a rejection—especially at the most selective schools in the country.
As an Ivy League alumnus with nearly a decade of experience coaching students through the admissions process, I know what it takes to stand out. The personal essay is the one part of an application that can’t be reduced to a GPA or a test score—it’s where a student’s voice, personality, and story come through. Done well, it transforms a strong applicant into an unforgettable one.
How I Work
My approach is collaborative and student-centered. I’ll help your student identify the story only they can tell, develop it into a compelling narrative, and refine it from first brainstorm to final draft—with detailed, honest feedback at every stage.
My methods have been shaped by hundreds of hours advising students in the Princeton Writing Program and teaching composition at the University of Nevada, Reno. I know how admissions readers think, and I know how to help a student’s essay rise to the top of the pile.

A Note on AI
AI-generated essays are increasingly detectable—and increasingly disqualifying. Every essay I help craft is entirely human-written, in the student’s own voice. That’s not just an ethical commitment; it’s a strategic one.
