Joe Bukartek's Story

My wife, the phenomenal Melanie Obitz-Bukartek, PhD, and founder of College Essay App, has passionately been serving students and teachers (and pre-service teachers) in learning how to use writing as a tool for life for the better part of two decades, and across the country. 


College Essay App will give high-quality writing instruction access to students who, through the college essay, will become empowered to maximize this benefit, into, during and beyond their college experience.

Thank you for your support!
