About Jessica
Applying to college is a taxing journey, but having a guide can make it an adventure. I was raised in Cupertino, CA, so I know it can be challenging to stand out among high-achieving peers. As a coach, I'm here to guide you by providing actionable support through each phase of the writing process:
​
-
asking questions that force you to think more deeply
-
curating anecdotes that reveal your values and personality
-
giving you options on how to phrase your thoughts coherently, at both the sentence and word level
-
helping you edit your work down to 150-350 words while maximizing what you share about yourself
Notes from previous clients
Jessica worked with my sons revisiting their life experiences, crafting their original and sincere essays. I was so touched and almost crying when I read their essays. Jessica is true to herself and with her students. My sons were admitted to UC Berkeley Engineering in 
2021 and 2023.

I have come so far in the college process with Jessica, and now I get to attend my dream school. Going into this, I had almost no idea what I wanted to write about—I didn't think there was enough in my life to talk about for colleges to read. Jessica helped me brainstorm, opened my mind, and got me thinking.

Before college essay writing, I thought it was going to be easy to write about myself. I didn't realize how complex I was and how many things were important to me that I couldn't fit into the word count—you helped me mention every single part. I hear about my friends' counselors who let them do most of the work, but you work on each essay as if you are the one applying to college.​​
