Darcy graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and worked as a professional editor and writer for 15 years. While scoring the Texas STAAR high school essays for over 10 years, she became passionate about helping students elevate their writing skills and achieve their college ambitions. She currently works as a College Readiness Advocate at Navarro Early College High School in Austin, Texas, where she mentors students through college admission essays and the application process.

“When students don’t relish the prospect of writing essays, I encourage them to approach it as an exercise in self-reflection and creativity. Working together, I enjoy transforming students’ natural storytelling into a cohesive personal statement conveying what students are most proud of and what they want to share with prospective universities.”
