College admissions season is coming sooner than you expect -- and this is a defining time in your life.

My name is Eva. I have served as an alumni interviewer at a prestigious boarding school and an admissions tour guide during my time as a student at Stanford University. I know what admissions officers are looking for.

Whether you're in need of start-to-finish coaching, proofreading or hourly consults, I can help you craft essays and personal statements that will make them say, "Wow!"

Email me for more information and to tell me what you are looking for, or check out my website, pavedwithverbs.com. You can also see some of my writing on my blog, thehappytalent.com.

I also work with students applying to graduate school, professional school, medical school, law school, and business school.

A little more about me:
Eva attended Phillips Exeter Academy, an elite New England boarding school, before she began college at Stanford University. There, she completed her Bachelor's and Master's in Psychology. She also studied abroad at the University of Oxford, where she completed a tutorial on gifted education in public schools. This project left her keenly aware of the hardships that too many gifted teens experience in high school.

Since graduation, Eva has worked as a writer and content specialist. In addition to creating eBooks for companies like Intuit and Fisher Investments, she has published essays about high school and college education in Slate and The Huffington Post. Her essay about fostering creativity and curiosity in children was voted one of the best Quora posts of 2013.

Although she loves content creation, the work that Eva enjoys most has always been teaching gifted youth. It started with her dorm proctorship at Exeter in 2005, followed by a summer of fencing instruction and guitar lessons at Montecito Sequoia Lodge. She taught biology and geology at Stanford's Education Program for Gifted Youth, and took a group of ten American teenagers to Poland for a summer abroad through Experiment in International Living.
