Why StoryArc?
“The Personal Statement is the only chance the college has to understand the true character of the student.”
College admissions have never been more competitive. With applications up 6% and strong grades and test scores becoming commonplace, admissions officers rely on personal essays to differentiate students. But AI tools are making it harder for them to see genuine differences between applications.
The only way to stand out to admissions is through an essay that is told with authenticity, clarity, and impact. And you can’t get that from AI.
At StoryArc Studio, we combine over 20 years of professional marketing expertise with real-world admissions insight. I hold an MBA in Marketing and Strategy from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and have helped some of the world’s most respected global companies and leaders stand out in competitive markets. I now bring that same strategic approach to help students find their unique voice in their college essays.
I also understand the process as a recruiter and a parent. I served as my company’s lead MBA recruiter for the University of Michigan and am an alumni recruiter for Oberlin College. I recently guided my own son through the college application process using this same approach and have firsthand insight into how competitive and complex it has become for students to present themselves with confidence, authenticity and originality.
Whether you're crafting a personal statement, managing multiple supplemental essays, or building a college resume, I provide personalized support grounded in strategy, empathy, and results.
This is not a one-size-fits-all editing service. It’s a collaborative process designed to help you stand out for the right reasons.
