1. Founder and Chief Essay Mentor

   Essayquest

   Jan 2012 — Present · Issaquah, WA, US

   We provide personal mentoring to high school students writing their college essays. We help our students do the hard and rewarding work of exploring who they are more deeply than they ever have, and crafting a memorable, effective essay that communicates. By the end of the process, they have essays they are proud of and that help them get into the college of their choice. More importantly, their self-confidence and sense of self grows, and they become better writers.Starting in 2014, we are bringing our innovative, proven personal college essay mentoring process into schools and non-profits through workshops and staff/volunteer training. We are also developing a digitally scalable, online version of our program. This will eventually expand to the full college selection process, and to graduate and professional school support. As a Social Purpose Corporation, we are dedicated both to profitability and to expanding access to quality college education to students from at-risk, disadvantaged and underserved populations.
