My Approach
Graduate admissions committees read hundreds of applications. They're looking for authentic voices, clear articulation of goals, and evidence that you understand what graduate study entails.
As someone with graduate degrees from both Brown University and UC Santa Cruz, I understand the application process from the inside. I'll help you identify the experiences and ideas that matter most, and craft them into a compelling narrative.
