Photo-style portrait of a middle-aged female academic in a modest university office, wearing glasses and a blazer, seated at a desk with printed pages of the statement marked up with highlighter and annotation symbols. Behind her: bookshelves with linguistics/semantics-style titles, a whiteboard with a simple flow diagram (“IF → BECAUSE → NO”), and a campus window view to ground it as “University of Somewhere Nearby.”
