Hello everyone! I am interested in helping clients achieve their goals and dreams through assisting them in developing the most effective college admissions applications possible. As a college professor, I know the value of higher education and I think it is very important to facilitate, promote, and encourage students to strive for success, through hard work, and to make a positive difference in their nation and for the world.

I graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2020 with a master's degree in classics where I also received a BA in classics and archaeology. I then worked at Pace University in New York City helping students with learning disabilities.

A former full time professor at the University of Michigan in Earth Sciences, with 5 years of experience in teaching & mentoring students (including ESL) and graduate admissions. Extensive publication record for manuscripts and grant proposals. Currently an adjunct professor at the University of Michigan & University of Wyoming.

I am an educational professional, translator, and author who has seen academia from all sides. I understand how stressful the application process can be, so I enjoy sharing expertise as well as encouragement with my clients.Although my background is in the humanities, the majority of my clients on Zhishiq.com so far have been in the field of finance, with a significant number in architecture, urban planning, and computer science as well. I love to research new topics, so I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients in all academic disciplines.I am a native speaker of American English, but I am well-versed in the written conventions of British English as well. I keep up to date with the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, and I believe in the serial comma.

I'm an American living and working in England which means I've had the best of both worlds in terms of English speaking and writing. I have worked as an editor, an ESL tutor and an admissions officer and I hold degrees from Stanford University and NYU (and I'm currently at Oxford University). Thus I am not only very qualified but also very familiar with the graduate application process. I've worked with many students from all over the world and I am committed to the very best customer service.
