Most students list activities.
Colleges read resumes for depth, direction, and seriousness.

YOUR RESUME IS BEING READ, JUST NOT THE WAY YOU THINK  

 

Join VoicED's College Admissions Workshop Series!

Every year, capable students submit resumes that unintentionally signal confusion, surface-level involvement, or lack of direction even when they are working hard and doing impressive things.

This is not a student problem.
It’s a misunderstanding of how colleges interpret information.

Why do Students Struggle With

Writing the Pitch for the Resume

Let's be honest, writing about your achievements as you are juggling academics and extracurriculars is like building a plane while flying it. 

 

The Problem Students Don’t Realize They Have

Most students believe that doing more will make them more competitive. They join clubs, stack activities, and stay busy yet their resumes often send the wrong message.

Students struggle because they don’t understand:

  • Why a long list of activities often signals lack of focus, not strength

  • How colleges interpret academic, intellectual, civic, creative, and leadership involvement and why good work is frequently misread

  • The difference between meaningful engagement and résumé padding

  • Why their résumé feels impressive to them but reads as directionless to admissions officers

  • How early choices in underclassman years quietly shape (or weaken) future applications

As a result, capable students work hard but fail to communicate seriousness, depth, or direction.

This workshop corrects that gap. Students leave with a clear master résumé framework—and a new understanding of how admissions officers actually read between the lines.

But fear not! Help is on the way!
Introducing the VoicED College Applications Workshop! ➜

This workshop will save you TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY but, most importantly, support your applications, essays, and interviews well before senior year.

Why This Workshop Matters

A student resume is not a list of activities.

In college admissions, resumes function as signal documents. Admissions officers read them to understand depth of engagement, intellectual direction, leadership maturity, and long‑term development not how busy a student appears.

Who Is The

INSTRUCTOR

 

I created this program to help students reach their academic goals efficiently and intelligently.

For over 18 years, I’ve worked closely with high school students navigating college admissions. Through that work, I developed a proven framework that demystifies the writing process and helps students communicate their ideas with clarity, depth, and confidence. This approach is tested, refined, and grounded in years of as an admissions reader-facing experience.

This program replaces busywork with intentional guidance, focused on ideas, structure, and purpose, so students can produce applications that truly stand out.

I want to share this TRIED & TESTED system with you! ➜
