Hi! I’m Sarah.

I’m a personal statement expert, coach, and founder of The Million Dollar Personal Statement Method. I also host a podcast dedicated to helping individuals transform their stories into powerful, unforgettable personal statements.

Through my exclusive community — The Million Dollar Personal Statement Club — I help students and professionals uncover their unique value, clarify their message, and communicate their story with confidence and impact.

My journey began in a small farming town in southern Idaho. I loved my hometown, but I had big dreams of attending a top-tier university. With limited resources and little guidance, the idea of going Ivy League felt impossible — but I was determined. I studied world-class communicators, worked with incredible mentors, and discovered how to turn my story into a personal statement that made me an irresistible candidate.

That method helped me earn admission to Yale University and Columbia University, where I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees — along with over $1 million in full-ride scholarships. Since then, I’ve worked across the globe in Fiji, Lebanon, Switzerland, and New York with the United Nations and other international organizations.

Today, I’m passionate about equipping others with the strategies, tools, and inspiration to write personal statements that open doors to their dream schools, scholarships, and careers.
