Introduction
ACADEMIC ADMISSIONS | CAREER ADVANCEMENT | LIFE COACHING *********Academic Admissions: Over the course of my writing and editing history, I have helped students earn acceptance into the most difficult programs--Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, NYU, among other top-tier schools. From undergraduate BA/BS (including early admission and early action) to JD, PhD, MD, MA/MS, and (E)MBA applicants, my clients receive one-on-one assistance from beginning to end. I'm as hands-on or -off in the writing process as necessary. No judgment. Top tier not in the cards? Gap year? No problem! Every client is important and treated with the utmost presence and respect. And, results are the same irrespective of target program--you will receive a college / university acceptance offer; likely many. Just imagine...one of the most stressful processes for both students and families becomes seamless, and dare I say, fun! I catapult trajectories while assisting in igniting self-efficacy, mastery, and resilience to increase success in all life areas. Confidence will skyrocket, guaranteed. As the process is lengthy and intense (I am only one person!), I can only onboard a limited number of students; spots fill quickly. Oh yeah, my success rate is 100%. Cost: $3,600.00 and up. More schools = more supplemental essays = more $. *********Career Advancement: I have over 20 years' experience providing services that propel careers to the next level, with a resume that aptly reflects the star of the show. You! I dig deep during the interview, gathering information that informs the creation of a compelling and cohesive narrative that boldly portrays value-add, highlighting accomplishments not even considered while leveraging metrics wherever possible to show and substantiate contributions. Meticulous attention to detail has enabled me to singlehandedly secure hundreds-of-millions of dollars in progressive pay raises, benefits, and promotions for my clients, cementing positions in top-tier roles. As a guide, I empower clients in terms of gaining clarity and direction. What sets my services apart is more than financial gain, but the intangible benefits that come from recognizing and articulating true value by instilling confidence that fuels and empowers the pursuit and achievement of career goals. Every aspect of my work is done personally, ensuring that each client receives the highest level of expertise and dedication. My proven track record of success is a testament to the transformative impact I have on my clients' careers, making professional aspirations a reality with measurable results and newfound confidence. And as a bonus, you have a career expert and coach in your back pocket! Cost: Services start at $540 (role- / title- / stage-dependent); add on for cover letter, LinkedIN profiles, interview coaching, etc. *********Life Coaching: With a PhD in psychology, I provide exceptional life coaching services designed to transform lives and propel individuals to live life to the fullest potential. With a keen understanding of human behavior and motivation, I offer personalized coaching services that address each client's unique goals and challenges. My approach is holistic, integrating a long background in psychology to develop tailored strategies that foster personal growth, self-agency, and well-being. Through in-depth sessions, I help clients uncover true passions, overcome obstacles, and create actionable plans that lead to meaningful and lasting change. My services have empowered countless individuals to achieve personal and professional aspirations, leading to significant improvements in overall life satisfaction. Clients experience remarkable enhancements in confidence, clarity, and motivation, transferring into tangible success across life areas (e.g., improved relationships, enhanced health and wellness). By focusing on measurable outcomes and providing unwavering support, I guide clients through transformative journeys, ensuring life transitions are navigated with ease and grace. Clients gain confidence and newfound direction. Life is filled with promise. Cost: $180 / hour *********About Me: I am an artisan and have spent 20+ years perfecting my craft. I don't farm work out; it is all me throughout a project’s lifecycle—initial phone call to project completion. I have a vested interest in seamlessly ushering you to the next phase of your life with as little stress as possible; I care to care. *********A Final Word About Cost: Remember, there is a big difference between price and value. My clients understand and appreciate that difference. *********Note: If you would like to schedule an initial consult, I can be reached at rebeccakovanphd gmail.

Rebecca is the best. My child had extreme anxiety dealing with the college application process. We all did. Rebecca stepped in and helped organize the process, kept my daughter accountable and on task, guided my daughter and worked magic with the essays, and overall made the process pretty easy. Ten schools were targeted and not only did my daughter get into all ten, but she got her early decision choice of NYU. She's a few weeks in to her NYU academics and could not be happier. If you want results, contact Rebecca. She's truly a college admissions angel.

Rebecca is the best! I got early college admissions decision for Stanford University. I could not have done it without her. Her counseling skill is amazing. She alleviated my nervousness and actually made the process fun. Her writing skills, the best. I will be forever grateful!

Our family hired Rebecca to help my son finalize his college essays and to work on his resume. She responded quickly, worked with our busy schedule, and did the job promptly. After visiting with her on the phone, she set our minds at ease about the process. I can recommend her without hesitation. We plan to use her again in the future.

This review is long overdue as I waited to see what types of attention my resume would draw before I left a comment. Since Rebecca completed my resume in a quick and efficient manner, I have had numerous contact opportunities and interview offers since I started actively job searching with the new resume. My old resume was outdated and I received zero attention on my original resume that I created in college. Rebecca's work is impeccable and she deserves every bit of the 5 stars (and then some) that I gave her. The new resume has given me hope that I will find the perfect job more sooner than later. Thank you Rebecca!

Yay! Part of my job is accepting that I don't typically hear back from my clients, which means they have moved on to bigger and better careers. That said, it sure feels good to know I continue to deliver. Thanks for the confirmation. Best, Rebecca Job: Resume & Cover Letter, Training Coordinator / Program Manager

The Edit Guru did a great job editing my graduate admissions writing prompts. She helped me see the view point of the admissions officer and helped me clean up language which was too specialized or 'industry-specific' -- I will definitely reach out again if I have new writing projects.
