“Navigating the MBA application can be an intimidating and time-consuming process. Ultimately it requires you to reflect holistically upon your life and work experiences and pack this down into a few short paragraphs … needless to say this is quite a challenge. Leah was instrumental in this respect, helping and guiding me through my MBA application. Leah helped me to not only distinguish and sift out the most relevant aspects of my experiences but critically ensured that I articulated my story in a clear and consistent manner.

I can say without hesitation that Leah was critical to my MBA application and am convinced that I would not have been admitted to London Business School without her assistance. Leah’s practical advice and communicative approach will no doubt greatly benefit all applicants in articulating their own unique experiences. I highly recommend Leah to anyone that is seeking professional help with their academic applications and processes.”

Jonathan Yeung – MBA London Business School

“La edición y aporte de Leah fueron cruciales en mi proceso de aplicación a la beca Fulbright. Vengo de una cultura lingüística en donde la síntesis no es prioritaria por lo que no es fácil cambiar al formato corto, claro y conciso del sistema estadounidense. Leah me ayudó con lo anterior, el uso apropiado de palabras y la claridad del mensaje que quería comunicar. Sus recomendaciones y orientación fueron también útiles para mi proceso de aplicación a universidades en Estados Unidos, Canadá y Europa.”

Lloyd Rivera – Fulbright Scholar, PhD student at University of Minnesota

“Leah really helped improved my writing when I applied for my postgraduate scholarship. The application included an essay regarding my vision for the future and why I was applying for the scholarship. I had a rough idea of how I wanted to respond, but it was challenging to include all the information I thought was important within the word limit. Leah was able to give suggestions on what information to prioritize and how to organize my ideas in a way that would capture the reader’s attention. Leah also helped me with specific feedback regarding the choice of certain words that helped communicate my ideas more clearly. My application was successful, and I received a 2-year scholarship to complete my master’s degree. I would recommend Leah as an editor for anyone working in an academic environment or simply needing support to improve their writing.”

David Burgener – Rotary World Peace Fellow, International Christian University, Japan

“Having written many papers through college and graduate school, I have to say that Leah is without question the best editor I’ve had the honor to work with. She is extremely thorough, insightful and kind in her feedback; she is able to find each detail while also holding awareness of the larger framework of the written piece.”

Amanda Rader – Rotary World Peace Fellow, University of Queensland, Australia

“Leah brings attention to detail, clarity, and a supportive approach to her editing work. Her feedback is insightful and constructive and helps ensure the best possible document at the end of the process. I also appreciate the way Leah provides edits in the detail of a piece while being able to provide highly useful feedback about the overall argument and structure of my work.” 

Dr Helen Berents – Faculty of Law and School of Social Justice, QUT, Australia

“Leah’s skills include a close attention to detail and an awareness of meaning and what needs to be conveyed in a clear manner. Leah provided detailed, consistent and accurate editing and proofing of my book manuscript that was vital to its completion and ultimate publication. Leah is also a devoted and highly skilled teacher who has demonstrated her commitment to helping each student achieve their best many times. She has an acute sense of what is needed to communicate effectively whether it be in an essay, an article or an application.” 

Dr Richard Shapcott – School of Political Science and International Studies, UQ, Australia

“I have known Leah for more than ten years now. Leah is driven by a deep passion for people that’s not dictated by the usual metrics, university student evaluations, and peer-recognition. She goes above and beyond. Having studied at some of the world’s best institutions and worked in higher education institutions in the US, Australia, and Latin America, she has shown time and again that she can help students achieve their own goals and realize their dreams.”

Dr Mark Chou – Faculty of Education and Arts, ACU. Australia

“Leah was crucial during my college career in writing well-structured, thought-provoking and grammatically correct essays. She always put significant effort in providing feedback, writing tips and general advice as a university teacher. She was always available for extra ‘office-hours’ and feedback sessions. She also helped me to develop my critical thinking skills, which was beneficial for all of my university studies. I would not be where I am today without such an inspirational and smart teacher, mentor and friend.”

Judith Bueving – Former Undergraduate Exchange Student from Holland, UQ, Australia

“Leah was my tutor during my undergraduate studies in the department of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Queensland. Her presence, strength and integrity stood out on the first day of lectures when the teaching staff were first introduced to us. Leah stood out from the rest as a leader, and as a human being with a strong and driving purpose in her heart. She was my tutor for several different courses. She encouraged me and gave me the tools to think critically and to examine the root causes of social problems related to development and to think about how to improve or rectify the situations in the most dignified way possible. What was clearest to me is that Leah always cared not only about what she was teaching but about how ideas, policies and practices of development affected the lived experiences of local populations. Leah shared a wealth of information with me during my time at the University of Queensland, providing me with deep insight about the issues of development. It was refreshing to come across such a vibrant mind, armed with all the right tools to take on any challenges for the betterment of the underprivileged of society. Leah is a brilliant communicator and helped me to sharpen my writing skills in my essays. I hadn’t had great exposure to professional academic writing in my previous studies or other university subjects. Leah encouraged me to think deeply and to develop the skills to link what I was learning on a theoretical level about Marxism, Feminism, Postmodernism, and Postcolonialism to the social questions at hand in terms of the struggles over development, and alternative forms of development. In terms of my written work, she always emphasized the importance of integrating my ideas more thoroughly. Leah helped me realize how important it was to have a cohesive and comprehensive argument in my academic essays and to support it with academic material and real-world examples. You will definitely be in great hands with Leah as a teacher and a mentor for all your professional writing needs. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” 

Madhusha Abayasinghe, Sri Lanka – Political Science and International Studies, UQ, Australia

“Leah was a blessing in applying for the prestigious Rotary World Peace Fellowship. She helped me navigate the application process with genuine interest and dedicated mentorship. I found her ability to edit and improve my writing for my personal essay while, at the same time, making sure I kept my own true ‘voice’ in my story impressive. She is gifted at guiding the development of one’s writing process and resultant personal essay in a way that matches the criteria laid out in the fellowship application and the broader goals of the scholarship organization. I highly recommend her for this kind of work.”
