“Ms. Gaffaney’s expertise really allowed me to stand out in my college application! Through her guidance, I was able to construct ideas that best reflected myself and also edit/format them in the best presentation. She is also such a sweet person. She always greets you with a smile, and each session she brings new ideas and improvements for your essays. I’ll be attending UC Berkeley this Fall 2025 pursuing Data Science (Berkeley rank #1) and I thank Ms. Gaffaney for helping me get here.”

“Gialisa was an integral contributor to my daughters journey through the undergraduate college application process. Her no nosense yet kind feedback helped us navigate the process with confidence. She helped us comb through the dizzying amount of college options and assisted with the organization of known universities and she introduced new viable options to consider. Her guidance with college essays was invaluable. My daughter was able to present ideas and consider new ideas that pushed her to discover more about her writing skills while keeping authentic essays showing off not only who she is but who she wants to become. I would highly recommend working with Gialisa through this process. Thanks Gia!”
