Hi, I’m Kelly Byrne.
Kelly Byrne is a writer and a tutor based in Los Angeles, California. Kelly earned her bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing at Princeton University in 2016, and received a Masters in Fine Arts from University of Southern California’s Peter Stark Producing Program in 2024. She has worked on a score of television productions and movies in logistics, writing, and research. During the pandemic, she felt driven to help students who were falling behind due to online school. This led her to working with Lindseth Education Consulting, a high school and college counseling company. Through LEC and word-of-mouth recommendations, Kelly has leaned on her creative writing background to help students all over the world hone their voices in crafting unique essays for high school and college applications, as well as English and History classes.
On a personal note, Kelly is an avid outdoors-woman, visiting 29 out of our 63 National Parks, and road-tripping 43 of our 50 states. She loves live music, sewing, and is insatiably curious about the people who give the world flavor. She believes a piece of paper with some wise scribbles, a good song, or an unexpected conversation can change your mind.
Testimonials
— Melissa Bonafonte, Parent
We are so grateful for Kelly's support and guidance throughout my daughter's college application process. From shaping her personal statement to refining each supplemental essay, Kelly was thoughtful, insightful, and incredibly effective. She encouraged my daughter to be creative, reflective, and truly self-aware, helping her articulate her story in an authentic and compelling way. Just as importantly, she kept her motivated and on track through what can be an overwhelming process, always meeting deadlines and following through reliably. The confidence and clarity my daughter gained were invaluable — we could not recommend her more highly.
