Hi! My name is Ralph and I am a current undergrad at the University of Chicago; I’m double majoring in English Literature and Business Economics. Through high school to now, I’ve had the privilege of working with many bright students on their college application essays, analytical essays, or creative writing competition submissions. During my gap year, I worked full-time as a paralegal, working one-on-one with a myriad of clients.
I love understanding individuals’ unique backgrounds and how that might translate to compelling narratives!
At the University of Chicago, I’m a contributing writer for the legal review, an editor for a literary magazine, and a member of a management consulting club.
I look forward to meeting all of you!
