College Essay Expert | Nontraditional/Underdog & Healthcare App Specialist
I’ve helped dozens of applicants get into BYU with an almost 100% success rate, and I know what it takes to turn a good application into a great one, especially for students who don’t fit the traditional mold. As a published author and Duke MBA graduate, I specialize in storytelling and strategic positioning, helping applicants connect the dots in their experiences and craft compelling, authentic essays that grab the attention of admissions committees. I’m especially passionate about working with nontraditional and underdog applicants, those who may not have the “perfect” background on paper but have incredible stories to tell. I take the time to really understand each applicant’s background, aspirations, and strengths, so we can present their best and most authentic case for admission. I was also admitted into BYU's highly competitive nursing program and received my MBA in healthcare management, so I also have a unique perspective and ability to help aspiring healthcare applicants find ways to tell their stories. If you're trying to get into nursing, medicine, surgery, research, or any other field in healthcare, please reach out!
