Management Team


Michael Choi

Managing Editor - EssayEdge

After graduating Columbia in 2002, S. Michael Choi worked as a trade editor and writer in the world’s foremost media market, New York City, for such illustrious clients as Harvard and Hebrew Universities, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, and the short-lived but groundbreaking online learning education site Fathom.com. The very next year, Michael was hired away by the founder of EssayEdge, Geoff Cook, and quickly assumed Quality Assurance Management duties, where he helped train hundreds of incoming editors during EssayEdge’s period of greatest growth and instituted the rigorous training system that ensures your editor is truly one-out-of-a-thousand applicants.

Today, Michael is the Managing Editor of EssayEdge and oversees a globally-distributed network of over 250+ freelance editors. His experience in managing quality control, business development, and day-to-day operations has been force multiplied by a two-year stint in Japan under the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme as well as a winter in Eastern Europe, where he helped set up a business leadership conference for aspiring young professionals. Michael is rumored to speak half-a-dozen languages and has lived over seven years of his life abroad on four continents; this international exposure informs his efforts to promote cross-cultural understanding.

Michael knows EssayEdge is the very best editing service in the world, and he is sure you will agree after you see what his elite team is able to do.

"My primary concern was my undergrad GPA and I used an addendum to my personal statement to address this. However, in my first draft of the addendum, I spent almost the whole time talking about the GPA and very little time talking about what I have been doing for the 14 years since I graduated. [My editor] advised me to do the exact opposite of this. My new addendum made a brief mention of the GPA issue and some solid reasons why this happened. I then immediately switched gears and higlighted all that I have accomplished since I graduated. This approach was absolutely correct and I shudder when I read my original draft."
