Are you applying for graduate school, a new job, or a fellowship? Want to make sure your application gets noticed and leaves a great first impression? Feel uncertain about how to present your experience and expertise? Work with a veteran writer of applications and cover letters to highlight and explain your relevant knowledge, skills, and work history. 


Personal Statement & Cover Letter Consultations

Whether you are applying for school or a job, applications demand you quickly explain that you are ready to do the work. Since 2010, I have applied and been accepted to graduate school, two internships, two jobs, three workshops, and nine fellowships. Why? I describe specific examples from past projects that show I am able to complete the work that I am applying to do.

These 45 minute consultations are an opportunity to work together to choose what you will highlight in the short space you are given. We will discuss which of your accomplishments demonstrate your value and make a plan for how  you can select anecdotes and examples that sell your skillset.

  • Sessions may take place in person (in Pittsburgh, PA), or remotely via phone, Skype, or Zoom. 
  • Please limit drafts to 5 double-spaced pages (1,250 words)
