Ana is phenomenal and helped me improve my writing so much. She guided me in effectively communicating through my writing while prioritizing that I maintained ultimate creative control. I learned so much about how to minimize redundancies, properly emphasize the key messages of my stories, and achieve depth in my writing while not over-complicating the linguistics. Aside from the concrete writing advice Ana provided, she was also very supportive—I had tight deadlines to meet for my college essays, so I appreciate how responsive and consistent Ana was during this time. I have and will continue to recommend Ana when folks ask how to go about college applications.
