Water Leaf  Writing is born out of my love of stories and my passion for the tender spaces when we ask ourselves: What’s next? Who am I? Who do I want to become? The writing required in the college applications can feel daunting - simply a task to get through, rather than something deeply connected to a young person's past, present, and future selves. I invite my students to think of these essays as not simply a tool to get into college but as way to get to know themselves on the brink of their next steps. The personal statement and school-specific supplementals are records of where they’ve been, what matters to them, and how they intend to show up to their life in college and beyond. 

​

Water Leaf Writing primarily focuses on college application essay coaching, but we are available to support students through the entire process, from college list-building to organization and deadline management to activities list revision. I am passionate about helping my students find and maintain their authentic voice and style through the revision process.
