I have six years of experience helping students with academic writing, including personal statements, application letters, and publications. Having just finished my PhD in the philosophy of education, I also hold a MA in Philosophy of Education from UCL IoE and a MSc in Higher Education from Oxford University. Higher education is my passion and as a long-time international student from the USA in the UK, I am keen to help you achieve your educational goals at top universities.

Higher education is my passion. Following my BS in Psychology with Minors in French and Public Administration at Grand Valley State University in Michigan USA, I followed my dream of working at a university to pursue my MSc in Higher Education from the University of Oxford. Still wanting to learn more I pursued a MA in the Philosophy of Education at the UCL Institute of Education which led me to my doctoral studies. I presented my research on educational questions at conferences and have published in academic journals.

Currently I am a member of the first ever cohort of the UKCISA #WeAreInternational Student Ambassadors. In this role I have led our initiative to create the first-ever UK-wide International Student Charter. With the Charter, we hope to influence high-level policy and universities with the international student voice.

During my doctoral studies I have served as the Technical Editor and Board Member of the American Journal of Education Forum. In this role I assisted student writers by providing feedback on their papers. In addition, during my undergraduate studies I worked as a Writing Consultant. In this role I worked with twenty student writers a week providing feedback and guidance on their writing. With six years of experience reviewing student writing, I am keen to help students beginning their educational journeys.
