Our team
John Smith | Role
Casey O’Brien Blondes brings a rich and varied career in writing, editing, and communications to her work as a college essay coach with Arcus Advisory. A dual American-French national, Casey is the author of two illustrated books on France published by Rizzoli International.
She worked as a copywriter and concept developer across business, tourism, and lifestyle sectors, lectured in Marketing Communications to MBA candidates at IAE Paris Sorbonne and ESSEC, and translated extensively from French to English across literature, social sciences, and business.
Her breadth of cross-cultural experience and a keen ear for voice make Casey a natural guide for students navigating the unfamiliarity of writing personal essays. She loves nothing more than coaxing the best ideas out of the students she works with, helping them articulate what makes them truly distinctive and guiding them to become more insightful, concise communicators. Whether a student arrives with a rough concept or a blank page, Casey brings both professional rigor and genuine enthusiasm to shaping essays that are clear, compelling, and authentically their own.
