College Consultant & Essay Editor
Student Voices
I asked him if he liked her (Moriah) and he said yes. That says a lot. We had hired a college advisor a couple years ago and he didn't like her at all. There is a lot to that story but....
Moriah was terrific. She listened well, was very encouraging and offered some advice from her experiences.
Moriah is a college consultant and essay editor with seven years of experience. Her students have been accepted to every T30 school, including every Ivy. She graduated with high honors from the University of Pennsylvania, earning a degree in Creative Nonfiction Writing and Women's Studies. Having lived and breathed story structure throughout her career, she has cultivated expertise in personal narratives by helping hundreds of applicants craft standout essays in the competitive admissions landscape.
In addition to essay support, she has helped dozens of families as a one-to-one consultant with all aspects of the application process from course selection, to interview prep, to school list building. Moriah has also designed and taught college essay writing curricula, mentored thousands of applicants through livestreams, and worked as a full-time Video Producer traveling to college campuses to create guidance content that reached millions of viewers.
Studying memoir taught Moriah that our life stories are rarely grounded in objectivity. Instead, personal narratives are shaped by the meaning we derive from our experiences. She is passionate about helping students intentionally craft the story they present to admissions officers and ultimately, to themselves.
