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 really overwhelming. You open up the various websites for each college and immediately realize….oh no. I have to write THIS many essays just for one college?? You have your college essay, personal statement, and scholarship essay, amongst many others. I know how overwhelming the writing process can feel, and I have many years of helping students through the writing process so that it feels manageable and so that you're proud of your work. My job is to help you find your story, shape it, and put it on the page in a way that sounds like you.
I spent fifteen years as a high school English teacher, where I helped over 1,000 students write 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 hold two Master's degrees in Education and English, so I can help you work through this process with real intention and understanding of the impact you want to make.
Are You Ready to Tell Your Story?
The worst part about writing an essay is staring at a blank screen, not knowing what you're supposed to be saying. You may have written something but it doesn't quite sound like you. Or 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 that you're proud of. Your finished essay will sound like you, demonstrate your strengths, and leave a real impression.
