Writing personal essays for my graduate school applications was a daunting task after being so far removed from an academic setting. Whether helping me with ideation or jumping in to refine and edit my drafts, Laura was invaluable in helping me submit essays that best articulated my passion, drive, and authentic self. She went the extra mile in the last stretch before the deadline, working around my busy work schedule to help me get everything done on time. She was kind, thoughtful, efficient and truly invested in my success - I would highly recommend working with her for any writing/editing needs.

Planning for college is stressful and I wanted my essay to be perfect so colleges could REALLY see who I was. While planning, Laura helped me come up with what I wanted colleges to know about me. She asked me what I loved most and of course the first thing I said was music. She helped me make my essay personal … I am now at a music school and planning on going into a career in the music business. While applying to schools, one school even wrote a personal message saying how meaningful my essay was. It was a pleasure working with Laura and I would recommend her to everyone!

Starting my senior year of high school with the daunting task of writing a college essay, I felt overwhelmed to the point where I didn’t even know where to start. With little help or instruction from my high school, Laura pointed me in the right direction on how to pick a topic and what a good college essay achieves. With her guidance, I was able to make a plan of how to write my college essay, breaking it down into manageable steps. I am graduating college this spring, and I still use Laura’s advice about the writing process. I owe her many thanks!

Laura was a huge asset when applying to medical school! She was easy to work with and offered valuable feedback on my essays. Laura took the time to carefully review my writing and worked with me to best articulate my responses, taking time to learn about and incorporate my personal experiences into the responses. I was intimated about writing, but Laura put me at ease throughout the whole application process. I’d recommend her services without hesitation.

Laura was a huge help in assisting both of our girls in writing their college essays. She guided them and let them know they were on the right track as to what colleges are actually looking for in these essays. She instilled confidence yet let them do the work themselves. She was encouraging and insightful in a task that is otherwise daunting and a bit nerve-racking. I believe this helped my girls get into their dream schools.

I had an exceptional experience working with Ms. Dockery on my college application essay. When I was a senior I was intimidated by the essay. I didn’t know where to start or how to narrow down my ideas into a limited amount of words. Working with her made the process less stressful. During every meeting, she was helpful by breaking down the essay into sections, encouraging me to think deeper, and helping me edit. By the end of the process, I created a strong, powerful story for my essay that got me into my dream school- Belmont University! I am so thankful for Ms. Dockery’s patience and help.
