Hi there! I’m

Christy

Christy, a seasoned college coach, stands confidently, guiding parents and seniors through the college essay and application journey.

I get it. As a mother of 6, I know how hard it is to deal with procrastination, anxiety, and perfectionism. And that’s with just ONE of my college-bound seniors 😮‍💨. 

On my maiden college voyage, even the sheer number of school choices was overwhelming! Plus, there were college visits, crafting the personal statement, managing dozens of supplemental essays, and looming deadlines. I tried to stay afloat by guiding my senior, keeping up at work, AND managing the rest of my crew. 

It was too much. I was drowning.

I started looking for a lifeline of professional help and serendipitously was hired by a nationally renowned College Planner.

Now, a decade later, I’m captaining my own ship and have partnered with nearly 200 families, helping them smoothly sail through over 3,000 essays. And now I pay it forward as I help seniors gain admittance to their top colleges, sometimes earn financial awards, and turn the often-dreaded essay writing process around with proven group and one-on-one guidance.

With my help, teens painlessly discover their best topic. I gently draw their deepest story and insights to the surface. And together, we systematically take their personal statement from draft to done - with 10 rounds of edits. 

And the best news

I’m not mom. The students listen to me as a trustworthy mentor, follow through on my feedback and suggestions (that their parents sometimes request), and get their essays completed, and applications submitted without weeks/months of needless angst and overwhelm.

With me by your side, deadlines are met (not missed), questions are answered, and your family’s voyage to college stays on course.

… and I guide resourceful parents and their college-bound seniors to smoothly navigate the essay-writing and application journey.

Essay Writing & Editing Workshop

Your senior will meet with me and a small, curated group of other seniors for 2.5 days. They’ll focus deeply on their Personal Statement, the “queen bee” essay for the Common App. I’ll guide them to discover their best topic, write two versions of their essay, break free from boring writing, discover how to strongly start and end the essay, and edit in 6 easy steps. Your teen gets to rent my brain and be supercharged by my energy for a full 13 hours… and I get to share 10 years of essay-coaching expertise. Let’s talk!

The Complete Your Essay in a Weekend workshop is priced at $500.

Get your senior into writing momentum with us this fall... or opt for private, all-inclusive coaching to eliminate stress, overwhelm, and procrastination and to ensure smooth sailing throughout application season!

Ongoing Private Coaching

Does your senior need or want ongoing guidance and attention?

Let me help them identify colleges that should be on their tailored lineup, craft their Activities List (something every DIY student does wrong — wasting valuable application “real estate”), and complete all of their Supplemental Essays (on average, students have between 13 - 41 essays to write and edit, depending on their major). I’ll also support them to strategically write all their Honors College essays too! I help keep your teen organized through ongoing private coaching via Zoom (or in person) throughout the application season and until the final college choice is made. And if your student needs help with essays and applications to highly valuable scholarship opportunities, let’s talk!
