I specialize in short stories, poetry, personal essays, memoir, and college essays. With my guidance, many of my students have won writing contests and/or published their pieces in literary journals, anthologies, magazines, or e-zines.

Many of my high school and college students
have been admitted to their first choice undergraduate and graduate schools due in
large part to their superlative personal statements and college essays.

I have just received word that my writing student Kayla Levy was admitted as a sophomore to University of Michigan's prestigious Ross School of Business, ranked #4 in the country by U.S News and World Report. I helped Kayla with her essays for Ross and am so pleased for her that she has made her dream a reality.
Hooray, Kayla! Congratulations and best wishes for the next step in your successful college career.
