COLLEGE ESSAY & ADMISSIONS HELP FOR PARENTS &
THEIR COLLEGE-BOUND TEENS
Your teen’s best college essay —done, done right, and off your plate.
Hi, I’m Christy.
For 13 years, I’ve helped high school seniors write their standout Personal Statements and get through the college admissions maze. Now, I can do the same for your teen, so they get it done, and you get to step back and enjoy being the parent during their last year at home.

I’ve been where you are…
I GET IT.
As a mom of 6, I intimately know how hard it is to deal with procrastination, anxiety, and perfectionism. And that was with just ONE of my college-bound seniors 😮💨.
When my oldest started applying, the school list alone felt overwhelming, on top of college visits, the essay, managing dozens of supplementals, and deadlines—all while keeping up at work AND managing the rest of my kids.
It was too much.
So I went looking for help, and ended up being hired by a nationally recognized college planner. Thirteen years and 300+ families later, this is what I do full time: help seniors find their topic, draw out their deepest story, and take their Personal Statement from draft to done.
And the best news?
Teens listen to me the way they’d listen to a favorite teacher, someone who has the answers they’re after. So my feedback lands, the structure I provide keeps them moving, and weeks of angst don’t happen.
That essay lurking in the back of your mind, the box you can’t check off? Finally checked.
Your questions get answered, specific to your situation.
Deadlines get met, not missed.
Your teen writes something they’re proud of, in their own voice, and they might just earn scholarship money for it.
And you get to enjoy this last year with them at home, instead of juggling and stressing your way through it.

Ways to support your teen
Wherever your teen is with the essay or application, there’s a fit…from a $29 nail-your-topic course to my flagship weekend workshop to full-service coaching.
WHAT IT’S LIKE FROM A TEEN’S POINT OF VIEW
“Working with Christy was like having my own personal cheerleader. She kept it real and helped me stay on track with my personal essay and activities list. I strongly recommend Christy to everyone who feels they don’t know where to start.”
— Kate M. (NC)
“Before I started writing, I was jumbled, anxious, and not really sure where to start. Christy’s joy seeped right into the process, and I’m now in a place where I feel confident in my essay.”
—Violet A. (CO)
“When I started my personal statement, I had no idea where to begin or what to write about, but thanks to Mrs. Sharafinski, I found my topic and actually enjoyed writing it.”
— Porter K. (NC)
“I was scared to write my personal statement, nervous I wasn’t going to do well. This workshop took a lot of stress off my shoulders and made the process so much more fun. She helped me find my values and my topic.”
— Sarah N. (IL)
“Working with Christy made writing my Personal Statement so much easier. She really helped me know what to do throughout the process. If you’re thinking of working with Christy, I’d say, ‘Do it.’”

STAY IN THE KNOW
Your teen is overwhelmed. Which means you may feel it too.
They can’t pick a topic or get the essay written. Or you just know something isn’t working. Yet.
And time is running out.
There’s a good reason this feels so hard. It’s not the process you went through. The essay carries more weight now, the competition is steeper, and what worked when you applied doesn’t cut it anymore. Of course it feels like a lot.
So let’s do this part together. Give me 15 minutes, parent to parent, and you’ll leave with next steps and a clear sense of whether I’m the right fit for your family.
