Working with Nikki was one of the greatest decisions I made during my admissions cycle. I was really, really stuck on my personal statement and she was able to take my scattered thoughts and help me turn them into a well-crafted, compelling essay. Nikki saved me a lot of stress, and without her, I don’t know if I would have gotten into the schools I did. Thank you so much!
