Personalized application help for University of Utah, UVU, Utah State + plus FREE BYU support If your student is applying to Utah schools and wants to make sure their applications are thoughtful, clear, and competitive, this package is for you. I’ll guide you (and them!) through the process of putting together strong, personalized applications for the University of Utah, Utah Valley University (UVU), and Utah State -- and if they’re also applying to BYU, I’ll include essay feedback there completely free, in line with BYU’s guidelines. I’ve worked with students from all across Utah, and I understand both the regional context and what makes a great application stand out. As a mom of four with three kids currently at Utah schools, I understand how important these applications can feel, especially when students are juggling multiple schools and trying to make sense of what to say where. My goal is to simplify that process, help students feel confident in their writing, and ensure their applications reflect who they really are. University of Utah, UVU, and Utah State Applications - Kickoff Session: We’ll start with a one-on-one call to review goals, school fit, and experiences that can inform the essays and applications. - Application Strategy & Planning: I’ll help identify what matters most to your student and how to bring that into their writing -- especially for any required personal statements or prompts. - Essay Brainstorming & Editing (as needed): Each school has slightly different requirements, and I’ll guide your student through writing or refining the relevant short-answer or essay content. - Activity List & Awards Help: For schools that ask for this information, I’ll help ensure it’s clear, well-formatted, and framed to show impact. - Final Review for All Materials: Before submission, I’ll review everything for clarity, tone, grammar, and alignment with the school's expectations. BYU Application (FREE) For students also applying to BYU, I provide the same level of essay support as above -- completely free of charge, in compliance with BYU’s admissions guidance. This includes: - Essay Brainstorming & Outlining: We’ll talk through each prompt, discuss meaningful experiences or values that could align, and map out strong outlines together. - Revisions & Feedback: I’ll provide thoughtful, honest feedback to help your student improve clarity, structure, and message. I won’t ever write the essays, but I will support your student in writing something they can be proud of and confident in submitting.

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!
