Medical School Application Services
Let me help you build CONFIDENCE in YOUR STORY.
It all begins with your why. A personal statement is a written essay that highlights your motivations, experiences, goals, and suitability for a specific program or career. It’s a critical part of applications to medical schools, graduate schools, internships, or jobs. The personal statement provides insight into who you are beyond your grades and test scores, showcasing your personality, values, and aspirations. Writing a personal statement can be challenging. It feels like so much pressure is riding on this essay. What makes for a winning personal statement is authenticity and storytelling.
Choosing who to work with for personal statement services takes a lot of research and trust. I want to make my process and my service as transparent as possible. My ultimate goal is to ensure you leave our time with a body of work you are proud to submit to medical school and feel like it is truly representative of your story. Be sure to review the remainder of this page for more detailed information regarding the various services offered.
I’ve helped over 40 students get their voice and personal experience to shine through. Before requesting services, be sure to check out my resources tab for help on kickstarting your writing.

How It Works?
Why Pay for Application Services?
While there are free resources available, discerning high-quality, personalized guidance from basic services is key. Here’s how I offer a unique experience:
1. Individualized Essay Editing and Revisions: My services go beyond standard written feedback. I work collaboratively with you, focusing on verbal discussions that bring out the heart of your story—though my exact process is something clients experience firsthand! I see this as a partnership, with *you* taking the lead. It’s your voice, your journey; I’m here to help guide you in a way that makes your story truly yours.
2. Tailored Support and Accountability: Many of my clients need more than just editing; they need guidance, support, and sometimes a bit of tough love. My approach ensures they achieve a result that stands out. I’m invested in each client’s success, often spending extensive time on Zoom to go over edits, revise in real time, and challenge them to write their most authentic story. This is not your average personal statement service.
3. Heart and Soul Investment: I pour my energy into every client’s personal statement process. I know my rates might be higher, but this reflects the commitment and depth I bring to each project. My previous clients will tell you—I push them to their potential, encouraging them to uncover the most genuine version of their story.
I believe in transparency, so feel free to review client feedback from the past three years. Direct quotes and reviews are available below. My clients’ results speak to the difference this investment makes.
