The hardest part about writing a personal statement is being concise with the experiences that got me to the point of applying. Having the experiences be felt by the reader instead of simply stating events as they happened adds a layer to the essay that carries more meaning. The feedback that I got from Pauline really helped me with this and made my application essays much more personable!! And now I'm starting PA school!

After being laid off due to COVID-19, I needed to update my résumé to begin an outpatient PT job search. My prior resume was used as an entry level PT and it included all of my clinical rotations from school on it. Pauline helped me consolidate my résumé and freshen it up to reflect my relevant professional experience. Her edits addressed the exact questions I had in my mind about what to include and what to omit. It was extremely helpful!

My experience talking to Pauline was awesome! Even though I have a whole year before I actually apply, she helped me discover my PT why. So many mentors have told me that I lack traditional PT experiences and recommended that I try another profession. Those conversations made me question my ability and qualifications to become a DPT. Pauline helped me realize that a lot of what I have experience with may be indirectly related to PT and told me that my credential will in fact make me stand out as an applicant and a clinician. She helped me create an outline for my PTCAS essay, pick which experiences to focus on, but most importantly, helped build back up my confidence in all that I have accomplished! I would highly recommend her for personal statement consultations and all the other amazing guidance she provides!
