College Essays, Personal Statements, and Scholarship Essays That Open Doors (and Sound Like You!)
Your Senior year is finally here! It feels like it's been forever that you've been working towards this and now that it's arrived, you feel excited….and nervous. You're trying to figure out what's next, what to do, and where you may want to go to college.
This process can feel overwhelming. You open up the various college websites and immediately realize….oh no. I have to write THIS many essays just for one college?? Between your college essay, personal statement, scholarship essays, and supplements, it can feel like a lot. But that's exactly why I'm here. As a high school English teacher, I have fifteen years of experience making this process feel manageable, and helping you end up with essays you're proud of. My job is to help you find your story, shape it, and write it in a way that sounds like you.
During my teaching career I worked with over 1,000 students writing their college essays as they prepared for the next step on their journey. I know what colleges are looking for, what makes an essay stand out, and how to help colleges see (and accept!) the real you. I also have two Master’s degrees in education and English, so I can easily help you navigate how best to tell your story.
Are You Ready to Tell Your Story?
The worst part about writing an essay is staring at a blank screen, not knowing where to start. Maybe you've written something but it doesn't quite sound like you. Or maybe you know what you want to say, but you just can't figure out how to say it.
This is where I will help you.
We'll work through every stage together, from that very first "I'm staring at a blank screen and I can't get moving" all the way to a final draft. Your finished essay will sound like you, show your strengths, and leave a real impression on the admissions and scholarships teams.
