About Me

Hi, I'm Hollee.

​I have been a professional writer for the past 25 years and a college essay coach for the last 10. I have a master’s degree in journalism from NYU and I’m currently a contributing writer for People Magazine. I've also worked as an editor at Philadelphia Magazine and The Knot. And I’ve had personal essays published in publications like Self, Shape, Parents, PopSugar, Parenting, Cosmopolitan, Fit Pregnancy, Ocean Drive, The New York Post, PopSugar, Bustle, Babble and Scary Mommy. 

Storytelling is what I do best. I will work with your teenager to find the story that best illustrates who they are, then guide them through the process of using their unique voice to craft a cohesive and compelling narrative. I truly love helping high school seniors, so if you’re wondering where to start or even if you just need a fresh pair of eyes for a final draft, please don't hesitate to contact me.
