His expertise on memoir writing was highly instrumental in the refining of my personal statement. Without his red pens and corrections, I do not think my essays would have stood out. Thanks to scholarships, like the one at GWW, for connecting people like myself with instructors like Cullen. Ultimately, this scholarship helped me bridge the gap between me and other more resourced applicants.” —
