Hi! I’m a writer, social media editor and college essay consultant based in California with over a decade of experience drawing upon my background in journalism, creative writing and non-profits. Email me: tiffjlew@gmail.com

My online work has appeared in places such as Al Jazeera’s AJ+, Vox Media, Mic, Poynter, MediaShift, The New York Times Upfront (Scholastic), and Frommer’s. My investigative project in The Hechinger Report on Chinese “parachute kids” in public schools won a National Headliner Award and was a finalist for Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Deadline Club Award.

I’ve helped organizations establish their voice and online presence through numerous shifts in the digital landscape and beyond—all while closing monitoring analytics and trends.

As a college essay consultant, I guide students in shaping their personal essays so that their unique stories come to life in the application process. I started tutoring work as a college student myself and am passionate about working with the next generation.

I am a graduate of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, where I did my honors thesis on PBS children’s programming adapting to the 21st century through advanced technology.

I’m looking for opportunities including college essay consulting, social media consulting, content writing/editing, and freelance reporting/writing. Email me: tiffjlew@gmail.com
