...I'm an NYU alumna myself (BA in English, MA in journalism) and launched my career there as a development writer. l'm originally from New Jersey, and after more than decade in Greenwich Village, I moved to Fairfield County, Connecticut, to raise a family with my husband...but I still get an indescribable thrill every time my train pulls into Grand Central Terminal.

 

As coauthor of YOUNG LOTHAR, my father's memoir of coming of age in Nazi Berlin, I've addressed diverse audiences nationwide and abroad on the Holocaust and human-rights issues. I also work as a freelance book editor and ghostwriter. 

​

I started consulting as an essay coach about 15 years ago, after several seasons of helping out friends' children who became overwhelmed by the college application process. While there are no guarantees in the unpredictable world of admissions, I can promise you that your essays will work strongly to your advantage. I'm an intuitive listener and brainstormer, a ruthless editor, and I stay on top of trends in higher education, media, politics, science, technology and the arts. Together, we'll make sure your story is told beautifully and impactfully.

 

I know what a stressful juncture this can be for students and their families. And I know I can help.
