Kathleen helped me so much with writing both my personal statement and another essay. Going into the first meeting, I didn't know what to write about or how to make it appealing to college admissions counselors. At the end of that day, not only did I know what story I wanted to tell, but I was excited about getting started. Throughout our time, she helped me make edits to my essays, recommended interesting and creative ideas for additional paragraphs, and pushed me to think about new perspectives and different ways to phrase my ideas. One of my favorite parts about working with her is that she guided me to explore my own thoughts, rather than telling me what to write about. Having Kathleen assist me with my college essays was an enormous help, and they would not have been nearly as good without her.
