Working with Sierra is one of the easiest decisions any student applying to college can make. Not only is she incredibly personable and easy to work with, but she also brings years of expertise in the college admissions process and an exceptional understanding of writing. Sierra was amazing in helping me find my voice while crafting my college essays. She was kind and supportive as I formulated ideas, but also direct and honest in helping me refine the tone, diction, and structure of my essays. Her balance of support and honesty made me feel comfortable bringing any idea to her, while also deeply respecting her feedback and judgment. Sierra helped bring out the best in me throughout the college admissions process, and I am so grateful for the role she played in helping me get accepted to my dream school.

After starting college, I contacted Sierra again to help with further applications. For instance, she continued to work with me when I applied to undergraduate business school after my first year. Sierra takes the time to get to know each of her students inside and out, which makes her advice and insight incredibly valuable, whether the application is for college, business school, or any other opportunity. As she watched me grow as a student and writer, Sierra tailored her feedback to each stage I was in, ensuring that her guidance remained centered on me as an individual while helping me continue to hone my voice and perspective through my writing.

I will continue to stay in touch with Sierra throughout my career, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a true professional in this space. She is an excellent teacher, mentor, and guide, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with someone so driven to help others succeed.
