— ABOUT GINA
Experienced College
Admissions Consultant.
Before I became a college admissions consultant, I spent over twenty years teaching college-level writing and critical thinking to students across Alaska. I've read thousands of essays — as a professor understanding first-hand what contributes to a successful college entrance essay.
"I spent over twenty years teaching college-level writing, critical thinking, and ethics to students across Alaska."
I work with students on the skills that actually matter in college: clear thinking, honest self-reflection, and writing that means something. When students develop those skills, strong applications follow naturally.
Alaska students carry experiences most applicants simply don't have. Whether you're from Anchorage or a remote community with a graduating class of twelve, I help you find the language for what your life has actually looked like.
