Your success is my success, and I will do everything I can to help you gain admission to the program of your choice! We have a few important tasks to achieve in your writing: making it unique, ensuring that it’s in your voice, and making sure the questions are answered. Your writing also needs to have correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. With CVs, our goal is to follow very specific grammatical, content, and format guidelines. My job is to help you meet these goals, and at the end of the process, you’ll have documents that you're proud of.

I'm formally educated as a teacher of English as a Second Language; I am also a writer, and I specialize in helping non-native speakers refine their writing in English. I have been an editor for a variety of documents for over 10 years. As an immigrant myself, I understand many of the hurdles that you face. I look forward to helping you achieve your dreams!
