Anslee is a vibe unto herself, a reflective medley of her upbringing. The day we met, her thick curly mane of hair was pulled back in perfectly symmetrical braids. I remember a ringer-style tee shirt with a garment washed look.

Working with bright, young minds is the single best part of my job. Mentoring them through essay writing and the application process is extremely rewarding.

Hundreds of essays have passed through my hands since my days in graduate school; a few books and manuscripts, too. The MLA and AP style guides hold residence in my mind and are alive. My students have gone off to Georgetown, Yale, FAMU, Auburn, UGA, Boston College, Howard, U Chicago, Spelman College, and so many more amazing places domestically and abroad. We have worked on more PiQs, basic, scholarship, merit, hardship, graduate school, and study-abroad essays than I count, and yet each one has left an irreplaceable fingerprint on me.
I have the best job on the planet.
