I can help. I have a Ph.D. in English and taught writing in a major US university. I have extensive experience in creating personal statements for Ivy League universities and Oxford. If you need an objective, experienced, and reliable reader who can make outstanding suggestions for ways to stand out, you have found that person. My Varsity clients report high satisfaction with their Common Application essays, and they have been accepted to the schools of their choice. Many initially thought they lacked the ability to make a distinctive case for themselves, but they found they had plenty to write about when they worked with me. Some clients come to me struggling with graduate school applications and master's degree projects. We succeed in tackling those. Some people consult me for personal statements for employment, and they are now working at those jobs! I graduated from prestigious Smith College, one of the famous 'Seven Sisters' colleges for women on the east coast. Smith College is ranked #12 out of 233 national liberal arts colleges by the US News and World Best Colleges 2018. While at Smith I competed for high grades, and wrote and cartooned for the college newspaper. I worked in banking and insurance for a taste of the business world before returning to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst for my master's and doctoral degrees. After defending my dissertation, I went to work for the highly-rated University of Washington in Seattle, which is tied with Yale for position #10 in the ranking of 1,250 global universities in 2018. I started in the Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering teaching technical writing and then moved to Department of Biomedical Regulatory Affairs in the School of Pharmacy. There, I created curricula and taught master's-level students to write government and business to business communication. What I care about most is helping students find the confidence to build their writing skills. Writing is critical to everything, and I think everyone can improve and reach their goals. I also think that talented students are often frustrated by large classes and the unfair pace of education, and that's why I work for Varsity. Let's look at your goals together, today. You will have something written by tomorrow, guaranteed.
