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 was serendipitously hired by a nationally renowned College Planner.

Over a decade later, I’m captaining my own ship. I’ve partnered with 200+ families and helped them smoothly sail through over 3,000 essays. I help seniors gain admittance to their top colleges, regularly 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. 

And the best news

I’m not their mom. The students listen to me as a trustworthy mentor, follow through on my feedback and suggestions (which 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 busy parents and their college-bound seniors to navigate the essay-writing and application journey smoothly.

Essay Writing & Editing Weekend Workshop

Your senior will meet with me and a small group of other seniors. They’ll focus deeply on their Personal Statement, the “queen bee” essay for the Common App. I’ll guide them to discover their top topic, write two versions of their essay, break free from boring writing, discover how to strongly start and end the essay, and get everything polished & sealed in 6 easy steps. Your teen gets to rent my brain and be supercharged by my energy for a full 8 hours… and I get to share 11 years of essay-coaching expertise.

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

Get your senior into writing momentum through a weekend workshop, a la carte editing support, or strategic, all-inclusive coaching & essay mentoring to eliminate stress, overwhelm, and procrastination and to ensure smooth sailing throughout application season!

Private 1-on-1 Coaching

Does your junior or 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!

The Easier College Admissions 1:1 Package is priced at $3000 until June 1, 2025.

Here's what you’ll get:

Christy removed the stress factor of having to personally motivate my daughter to write her essays and meet all deadlines. Knowing she's a mom and went through the process with her own daughter, as well as dozens of others, put me at ease.

- Ava B., mom of Lana B.

Christy worked with our top-of-her-class daughter. Two years later, she helped our son with severe ADHD. She met each of them where they were. We’re so happy to have found Christy.

-Cyndy P., mom

I appreciated your stress-free, positive, "we can do it no matter how long or what it takes" approach. You boosted his confidence because you SAW him and reflected things back to him that were so necessary.
