I am delighted to guide and support your students with their applications for college and high school. I love to find their voice, tell their story, and shape the narrative that best expresses their talents, strengths and interests. Whether students need assistance from the onset of the process, or just an unbiased fresh pair of eyes on a final draft, I’m here to help. It’s important for the admissions team to get to know the person behind the grades and numbers. I offer, amongst other services: essay/application support, brand/resume building, and interview prep.
“I LOVE THIS! This is honestly one of the best essays I have read in years. Seriously, I would use this as a sample essay in our workshops. Do not change this essay one bit.”

Let’s work together
I am excited to help guide and support your students working on applications for college or high school. I consistently hear about the challenges families face working together during this process. And that students would prefer to work with an outside advisor or simply try and do it on their own.
This is where I come in! I love helping students find their voice and tell their story.
I will brainstorm with your teen to find the narrative that best expresses who they are, then guide them through the process of creating a cohesive and compelling essay.
I can also meet with your teens earlier in their high school careers to help brainstorm extra-curricular activities/initiatives that will help support their future narrative — I want them to shine through their application while staying true to themselves.
Whether they need help from the beginning of the process or just an unbiased fresh pair of eyes on a final draft, it’s important for the admissions team to get to know the person behind the grades and numbers. I’m here to help.
I offer: College Essay & Application Support; High School Essay & Application Support; Brand Building for Student Applicants & Interview Prep.
What sets me apart? My strength is the written word as well as marketing/branding. I received a B.A. in English from Boston University (minor in journalism), spent my first few years working as a copy editor in magazine publishing, and then enjoyed a lengthy career in public relations/advertising.
I look forward to making your lives easier and helping your children on a small but significant part of their application process.

“Switching high schools seemed incredibly overwhelming to me, but once I met with Marjorie, she helped me organize my thoughts, create a timeline, and made herself available to shape my applications. I felt very supported and she made the process enjoyable.”
— Cece, Student
“Marjorie got things out of my shy son that were unique, sweet, endearing and funny. She really captured what our son wanted to say.”
—Blanche, Parent
“Marjorie supported my children with their high-school application process. She spent one-on-one time getting to know them and their “stories”. She brought more than just her editing skills to the table; she created a level of trust and understanding with my children, and they in turn adhered to her deadlines and pushed themselves.
What could have been an arduous four months ended up being a lesson in discipline, writing, and sense of accomplishment for my children. Marjorie’s ability to listen and hear children, remain fully present for them, and her natural ability to offer the right amount of encouragement exceeded my expectations and resulted in both my children being accepted to their “perfect” high schools. As a parent, I was able to breathe and look forward to working with her on the college application process.”
