Michael is a writer and culture journalist with seven years of editorial and communications experience across major publications and media organisations. He is currently a graduate student at New York University, where his work focuses on narrative, cultural criticism, and long-form editorial.
As Chief Writing Officer, Michael leads all written output at Burlington Consult — from petition narratives and recommendation letters to the firm's published content in the Knowledge Center. Every word that leaves Burlington carries his editorial standard.
His particular strength is translating complex professional achievements into clear, compelling narratives that satisfy USCIS evidentiary requirements while remaining genuinely readable. The recommendation letters he drafts are researched from scratch, tailored to specific criteria, and written to a standard that recommenders are proud to sign.
A petition is a story told to an audience of one — the USCIS adjudicator. Every sentence has to earn its place.
