My Background

Editing has taken me some pretty cool places — from student journalism, to a marketing agency, to an IT company, and now to college admissions.I’m an editor by nature and by profession. Even across distinct industries, I’ve maintained the same passion for making good writing even better. Now, working with students, my perspective is informed by the years of cross-industry editing experience I’ve accumulated.I’ve built my career around writing and editing not simply because it’s where my skills lie, but because it’s what I genuinely care about. And now, after a winding path, I’ve landed on a way to pursue that craft while helping others achieve their own goals too.

In one word, my work is student-driven.What does that mean?It means my main motivation is to help students achieve their college goals, whatever those might be. Are you applying to all the Ivy Leagues? Let’s do it. Is your state school the perfect fit for you? Full-steam ahead. Are you just looking for some emotional support through the application process? I’m all in.Unlike some college coaches, I don’t cherry-pick my students based on their stats or the schools they’re applying for, and I’m certainly not here to increase your stress by pushing any elitist ideals often found in the admissions landscape. I’m here to help. Tell me your goals, and whatever they are, I’ll do my best to get you there.
