Type A Essays

Hi, I'm Susan and I help students write powerful & persuasive college apps and resumes that get results.

I’m a “type A” electrical engineering grad who spent 20-years in Silicon Valley tech sales & management, curating countless proposals and presentations to secure high-stakes $10-100M+ business opportunities. I’m also a lifelong volunteer who knows how to help students stand out in extra-curriculars. 

After my twins’ freshman year in T20 programs, I started editing college essays and found a calling. Students love my advice, give me 5* reviews, and get fantastic acceptances. Now I want to help as many students as possible with the many lessons I’ve learned over the years.

My philosophy is centered on helping students tell their unique story succinctly and steeped in richly described anecdotes with quantifiable details.  My goal is to give students the tools to earn the best acceptances possible through authentic personal narratives that are powerful and persuasive.
