With college admissions more competitive than ever, students need a way to stand out in a sea of similar applicants. The college essay is one of the best ways you can showcase who you are beyond a GPA or test score. It’s a chance to flex your creative muscle and “wow” an admissions committee by sharing your passions, experiences, and aspirations. If you're like many students, the essay writing pro
cess can be intimidating. Maybe you're having trouble finding a topic that feels right and comes from the heart. Or maybe you're struggling to tell your story in a clear, organized, and insightful way. I'm a professional writer with a master’s degree in journalism and extensive experience writing for the Chicago Tribune and other national and local newspapers, magazines, content marketing agencies, nonprofits, corporations, universities and more. For over a decade, I've helped students write compelling college essays that convey who they are, in their voice. I've worked as an essay coach for several leading Chicago-based college consultants. I work with students one-on-one to brainstorm a topic, structure an idea, and bring it to life. Many of my students have been admitted to their colleges of choice – including top-tier schools.
