About Me

---

I have a secret. College applications are a sales tool. With so many talented and accomplished students applying, admissions officers choose from thousands of qualified applicants. That’s where I come in. My background is in advertising. As a creative director & copywriter for more than 30 years, I’m experienced at finding the telling detail that separates one product from another. 

How will my background help your college application stand out to admissions officers?

1. I combine the head of a marketer with the heart of a mom. I find teenagers to be refreshing and 

often inspirational.

2. I’m used to leading brainstorming sessions and pulling the best out of others.

3. I know how to write to make people read—and can help you do so, as well.

4. I graduated from one of the schools many of my students apply to—Duke University, with a

degree in English/Writing.

The synergy I have with my students results in magical college essays. It’s hard to explain the process. But then magic doesn’t require an explanation, right? I love working with all types of students and find something incredible, amazing and impressive about each and every one of them. I hope to meet you and hear your story soon!
