“Our hope was to partner with a professional who could steer our son’s college essay-writing process from the beginning to the end. The hands-on guidance we received from Tracy far exceeded our expectations. Not only is Tracy an expert in her field, she has a way of connecting with the students she coaches. This connection is what enables her to lead students during a time that can sometimes be stressful for the entire family. Tracy gave us more than we ever imagined. She provided nearly round-the-clock encouragement, critique, and counsel. She was one of our son’s biggest advocates and cheerleaders as he wrote his college essays, and we are forever grateful.”
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.
Some changemakers fall asleep on midnight Zoom calls while eating ice cream, others fold clothes as a means of stress relief, and some are badass equestrians. I really have the best job on the planet. Click on the bios below and find out why…
I love words; people like me are called logophiles. I am firmly in the Oxford Comma camp and I have an existential crisis when I'm told only one space goes between two sentences.
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. High school aged teens occupy this mystical space between childhood and adulthood; a place where there is not much real-world responsibility and the future holds nothing but possibility. They steam forward with reckless abandon, likely because life hasn’t kicked in and they remain fearless.
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.
