About me:

I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton, where I won every award possible for her academic writing. I have over a decade of experience as a professional editor in the publishing industry, and I’ve been hand-picked by professors at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale to help them edit their books for publication. After I discovered that admissions consulting was the perfect combination of mentoring, writing, and strategizing, I left my career in publishing to focus on Ivy Bloom.

For the past decade, I’ve helped countless high school students through the college essay process, with impressive admissions results.
