Dr. Mary Mahoney

Dr. Mary Mahoney
As an English professor, I have expert editing skills – flipping early drafts into compelling narratives. I offer suggestions for idea development, ensure clarity of thought, and refine the writing. I find it rewarding to work with successful, smart, driven, and dedicated candidates as they pursue admission to medical school, clinical psychology programs, postbac programs, and graduate school.
