"What started out as a part-time job to pay for my college tuition quickly grew into a passion for admissions essay editing and counseling."

Originally from the suburbs of “The Windy City,” Chicago, Amy A. came out to California’s sunny San Francisco Bay Area in 2002 to pursue her undergraduate studies in Human Biology (with concentrations in the areas of Gerontology, Psychology, and Public Health) at Stanford University. She completed the elite Structured Liberal Education (SLE) program at Stanford, an integrated program in humanities classics (literature, philosophy, and the arts) and writing instruction. Amy joined EssayEdge in 2003, and what started out as a part-time job to pay for her college tuition quickly grew into a passion for admissions essay editing and counseling. She has been working for EssayEdge ever since, even though she has gone on to attend business school at Santa Clara University and to pursue a successful career as a nonprofit CEO in the aging services industry. Amy lives with her husband and their two young children near the ocean in Pacifica, California. In her spare time, she loves to hike, bike, camp, run, read, and practice yoga and meditation.

I really appreciate the thorough feedback on my statement. My native language is not English and I always feel insecure about my grammar. However, not only my grammar was corrected, Amy, also evaluated the overall flow and the content. She made my writing thus my overall application to the next level. Thank you.

The Editor has read every single word of my essay and made it completely gramma error-free, which is super crucial for me as a non-native speaker. She also improved many sentence structures and made the writing more fluent and readable. The editor also gave me supportive feedbacks, which enhanced my confidence in my essay. Thanks Amy.

I could receive your work soon, and the critique from my editor was so specific. By reading through the critique, I could find points on how I can improve my writing. It is really helpful for my future writing, too.

I'm satisfied with Ms. Amy's work : she rephrased parts that sounded awkward, corrected grammatical errors, and enriched the vocabulary, which made the essay more compelling.

This is my second time to work with Amy. She always improves my essays without disregarding the core. Also the speed of the feedback is fantastic. I think EssayEdge is particularly great for people who has got already good idea and outline of essays, but need some help for the delivery of words and sentences.
