Hi there— I’m Austyn Marks, a non-profit fundraising professional by day and application essay consultant by night. I graduated from The University of Michigan in 2019 with a degree in History and Art History.

Since high school, I have helped friends and family navigate the college application process—brainstorming topics, drafting outlines, and editing. In Fall 2022, I decided to turn my hobby into a second career, and have found such meaning in being able to play a small role in the success of my students. I’ve worked with dozens of applicants, helping them highlight their strengths, show their personality and uniqueness, and get accepted to top choice universities.

In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga (I’m a certified 200hr RYT!), listening to live music, reading history books, playing chess, learning Spanish, and going to museums.
