I founded Redwood Admissions to help students like you stand out in a world where achievements like ‘captain of the basketball team’ or ‘president of the debate club’ are so commonplace. Your accomplishments matter… But admissions officers want to read stories of grit, creativity, and humanity behind those achievements – stories that must be woven into a cohesive theme and revealed the exceptional you. With me as your storytelling strategist, you’ll no longer write disjointed essays or navigate your college app alone. Because:
- I’ve mentored 200+ students into top universities and will give you an unfair advantage. I’ll guide you to discover a new mindset and your innermost truths which you can use to transform your resilience, sensitivity, self-awareness and personal growth into a memorable application worthy of admissions.
- I Know How Colleges Spot Potential
Having taught AP classes (10+ years) meant grading hundreds of essays, coaching students through college-level rigor, and writing recommendation letters that admissions committees actually remember. You’ll learn from me to showcase intellectual curiosity and turn life’s struggles into stories of growth admissions officers crave. - I’ve Seen What Makes Applications Stick
Having mentored my students from AP exams to Ivy League dorms, I know the difference between a “qualified” applicant and one that colleges are thrilled to admit. You’ll avoid clichés like “passion for community service” and focus on moments only you could write.
No buzzwords. No cookie-cutters. Just clarity on what makes you irreplaceable — so colleges will see you as a must-have, not a maybe.
