Amelia’s College Qualifications
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
In my ~5 years at BYU, I wrote hundreds of papers/articles/publications, and edited hundreds more for my major, personal interests, and role as Editor of the BYU Political Review. I have an intimate understanding of what good (and bad!) writing looks like. At Leland, I run our content engines and I've read everything there is to know about the college and graduate admissions process. I understand what the admissions committees are looking for and what you need to do to present a compelling case for acceptance. I believe anyone can make a great candidate for a school and it's about the way you tell your story that makes all the difference. I'd love to help you with your essays or the other parts of your application (resume, letters of recommendation, short answer questions, etc.)! Book a free intro call on my profile to get started.

Why do I coach?
I strongly believe in the power of mentorship and getting help to reach your goals. In people's stories, it often appears as if the "hero" gets to their destination all on their own, when that is absolutely not the case. I coach to help you, the hero, chase your dreams and achieve your goals. I am where I am because of those who have come before me and those who have helped me along the way. I am excited to help people tactically with actionable advice on their college applications, but also more abstractly, by showing others all that they are capable of. You don't know what you can do until you try, or until you're surrounded by people who believe in you.
