Hello! I’m a Graduate Coach at InGenius Prep based in New Haven. I graduated from Wellesley College with a double major in Creative Writing and Women’s and Gender Studies and have recently completed my MFA in Creative Writing at Columbia University. I am also currently a professor at the University of New Haven, teaching First Year Writing. At InGenius, I’ve had several years of experience helping students receive acceptance letters from top colleges including Ivy League and Top 20 schools.
Having been passionate about writing all my life, I thoroughly enjoy guiding students through brainstorming, writing, and editing their own work. Both in and out of college and at my MFA program, I have been involved in writing my own pieces and editing my peers’ work. My essays mainly focus on identity and pop culture and have been published in a number of websites and lit mags. While at InGenius Prep, I have also written 400+ long-form pieces on the college admissions process. I’m involved in editing other counselors’ work and working closely with both our marketing and education teams to create blogs, e-books, infographics, and other resources for our students and readers.
My favorite part of the admissions counseling process is getting to know my students, finding the perfect school for them, and helping them articulate unique and interesting parts of themselves through their personal statement and supplemental essays. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey!
In my free time, I enjoy reading, binge-watching TV shows, making playlists, and watching soccer. I’m a big foodie and at any given time, you can find me either cooking, eating, or watching food videos.
