About Melissa

College application essays are unlike your typical high school essays. Most students have not had much experience writing about themselves in a way that showcases their best qualities along with their writing ability. In my three years of working in admissions at an Ivy League university, I have read several hundred college essays and supplemental statements that run the gamut from unremarkable to extraordinary. I can help your student find their voice and their story as they craft a compelling, unique, and effective essay. When working with a student, I ask a lot of questions to better understand them and their goals. I help the student to identify the potential theme(s) of their essay, deepen their self-reflection, and make new connections. I assign homework after each session tailored to the needs of the student at that time. Follow-up sessions offer opportunities for additional feedback, to review essay progress and homework assignments, and to ask and answer new questions.

I have over a decade of higher education experience that includes work in admissions, academic advising, academic coaching, and teaching. I look foward to helping your student reach their personal and academic goals.

Writing can feel like a daunting task. I love how surprised students are when I reveal how close they are to their word count after just the initial brainstorming session. I enjoy watching students build confidence and satisfaction as they improve their writing.

I have a bachelor of arts degree in Anthropology from Brown University and a master of education degree in College Student Affairs from Rutgers University.

I have over a decade of experience working in higher education in the areas of admissions, academic advising, academic coaching, and teaching.
