Admission essay solutions
There’s more to every
student than grades
and test scores.
The best place to prove it is in your application essay, which is one reason it’s so hard for many students.
In addition to helping friends’ kids (and my own son), for the past two years with 826LA, I’ve worked with students at schools across the city on their college and scholarship essays.
I’ve found this work combines my favorite part of advertising--brainstorming original ideas--with what I love about storytelling at The Moth--artfully delivering a memorable, well-crafted story.
Flexible rates & schedules. Meetings in-person or via Zoom.
Throughout my 25+ year career as a writer and Creative Director, I’ve
helped tell the stories of brands as diverse as The Ritz-Carlton, Icelandic
Glacial Water, Apple, Microsoft and Toyota, Honda and Nissan. I always
leapt at the opportunity to do pro bono work, and I am particularly
proud of campaigns I created (often with small, volunteer teams) for
The Natural Resources Defense Council, Heal the Bay and The Young
Musician’s Foundation.
These days, in addition to 826LA where I help high school students craft
their college essays, I volunteer with NourishLA and Good Karma
Gardens. I’m a long-time Venice resident who enjoys swimming, cooking,
reading and writing.
