“I love helping students excavate personal narratives and then expand on these ideas for their essays. I prioritize the process of writing and thus encourage all my students to be as creative and to take risks during their writing journeys. Some of the most rewarding moments of working with students on their college applications has been helping students discover an authentic voice while writing essays—and sometimes even a deeper, continuing passion for writing!”
