Testimonials

Writing can make or break a doctoral application, and after an unsuccessful first round of applications, I knew I needed another set of expert eyes. Working with Zoe completely changed the way I presented my experiences and goals. She didn't just edit my essay, she helped me tell my story more clearly, confidently, and authentically. The very next application cycle, I was accepted into my PhD program. I genuinely believe her feedback played a meaningful role in that outcome.—PhD candidate, University of Oregon

When I applied to law school, I found drafting a personal statement to be one of the most daunting pieces of the application. Zoe provided invaluable support through the rewriting and revising process. She deftly identified and sharpened what I really wanted to say and helped me distill my story. The final draft persuasively connected the pieces of my personal narrative and made it look simple. Writing isn’t easy, and Zoe is a patient and incisive guide. Hire her, you’ll become a better writer. You might also get into your dream law school!—Graduate, NYU School of Law

Zoe gave me feedback and direction on my vet school admissions essay, and I was accepted to 9 vet schools! My essay was brought up in multiple interviews, and I think it is a big part of what made my application successful. Her suggestions helped me get my ideas across clearly and concisely. I worked for several years as an editor in educational publishing before changing careers to apply to veterinary school. I’m confident in my writing but it was so helpful to have an outside person’s perspective.—DVM student, Cornell University
