Common Questions

  • School counselors manage many students simultaneously and large firms often rely on junior staff. My practice is intentionally small so I can work with each student and family directly and continuously, offering timely, detailed, and actionable advice.

  • I believe the college essay is a student’s chance to show their unique, human voice. As a creative writer, I work with students to discover the specific, honest details that reveal their character.

  • No, but I guarantee a rigourously built and honestly positioned application that gives your student the best possible chance at their target schools.

  • I help your student follow university guidance on AI usage in applications. AI-generated essays are prohibited at most schools. Many schools, however, allow AI for brainstorming and structure.

  • My comprehensive college application packages are billed at a flat fee. For families seeking targeted assistance rather than a full package, I am happy to design a customized hourly quote tailored specifically to the individual services you need. My subject-level and standardized test services are billed at an hourly rate.

  • I accept multiple payment types: Venmo, Zelle, and Stripe.

  • I offer in-person and virtual (Google Meet) meetings.
