THE STEP AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
​
The college planning experience should be a time of great excitement as adolescents finally take the reins in designing their futures. For most families, the application process can be complex, burdensome and stressful. College essay writing, the most involved part of the process, can be overwhelming, high pressure and difficult. It is tough to know where you stand and what makes a great essay for college admissions teams. Many students encounter anxiety over this process and have trouble even starting.
I work through this cycle with high schoolers and give them the assurance, expertise, and inspiration to participate with joy, and excel in their writing and self-awareness. As a result, they produce outstanding college essays and feel empowered through the application process.
My essay and application services relieve unnecessary tension from young people and their families by providing a generative experience. Working with me gives parents and students peace of mind through one of the biggest decisions of a teen's life.
