I will carefully edit and proofread your college application essay

Applying to college is about more than writing a good essay... it's about telling a memorable story.

I'm a PhD candidate in Roman History, certified teacher, and experienced writing mentor. Through my educational practice, Stone & Margin, I work with students to strengthen their writing, critical thinking, and confidence as learners. I have supported students from middle school through university, and enjoy helping young writers find their authentic voice.

Whether you're starting with a blank page or revising an existing draft, I'll provide thoughtful guidance tailored to your needs. My feedback focuses on narrative structure, clarity, voice, organization, and impact, not just grammar and proofreading (though I do that, too!).

I can help with:

Common App personal statements

Supplemental essays

Scholarship essays

Topic selection and brainstorming

Revision and editing

Looking forward to helping you tell your story!
