about meMy name is Daniela, and I'm a writing coach and consultant specializing in college applications. I guide my clients through the writing process in a way that honors their individual identities, interests, and experiences.
I graduated from Stanford University with a joint degree in computer science and English (emphasis in creative writing). While at Stanford, I served as editor-in-chief of Stanford Politics, the university’s nonpartisan, political, student newsmagazine. I have over five years of professional writing and editing experience along with extensive knowledge of the college application process. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and currently live in Brooklyn, New York. |
my philosophy
When working with a client, my primary goal is to support them in finding their voice and learning more about themselves through their writing. In the case of college applications, focusing on these objectives increases the chances that students will be admitted to schools that are a great fit for them, allowing them to thrive both academically and emotionally. Because of this, I'm a strong proponent of a student-driven approach and strive to make everything as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Beyond college applications, I aim to empower all my clients as writers, because few things are more important than effective self expression and communication.
