Reference Letter Policy
If you are considering applying to graduate school and would like me to write a reference letter, please reach out to me by email first. I prefer to meet in person or by phone before committing to write a letter—during this conversation, I will discuss your strategy and give you feedback on your file.
This process requires a substantial time investment on both sides, so please plan ahead. I am unable to accommodate last-minute requests.
