“One of my greatest joys involves working with students who are eager to go to college. My favorite part of the essay-writing process is helping students uncover the power of their stories, no matter how big or small they might seem. My background as a social worker gives me a deep appreciation for the experiences people have, and I relish the opportunity to help students organize their thoughts in a way that ends in an authentic essay!”
