“Working with Jess really helped me find my voice, and also talk about my best qualities. As the child of immigrant parents, I felt self-conscious, like I was bragging, and I felt uncomfortable with that. Jess helped me understand the application process, and helped me create an essay that I felt comfortable with, and that shows who I am, and how proud I am of my family background. My parents are incredibly proud.”
