About us | Founder Dr. Mills 

At Drafted, we believe every student has a powerful story to tell—one that deserves to be told with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. Founded by a passionate educator, Olanna Mills, with a Ph.D. in Humanities from the University of Southern California, our mission is to help students craft admissions essays that are not only polished and professional, but also deeply personal and unforgettable.

 

With years of experience mentoring students through the college and graduate admissions process, I’ve had the privilege of helping applicants gain acceptance into top-tier institutions including Ivy League universities, Research One programs, and prestigious professional schools. Whether you're a high school senior applying to your dream college or a graduate student pursuing advanced study, I'm here to guide you through every step of the writing process.

 

I love working with students—getting to know their goals, their voices, and the experiences that make them unique. At Drafted, you're not just writing an essay. You're shaping your future.
