The college admissions process has become more complex than ever. Families who work with a private counselor aren’t looking for shortcuts, but rather they’re looking for clarity, strategy, and thoughtful guidance. Our role is to help students make smart decisions, stay organized, and move through the process with confidence rather than stress.
That's where I come in
I guide students and families through the college planning process with a practical, step-by-step approach. Some families start as early as 8th grade, sometimes meeting just once or twice a year, to stay on track and avoid the stress of trying to catch up junior year. I work on an hourly basis rather than requiring large packages, so families only pay for the support they need.
High School Academic Planning
Utilizing an approach that considers the student’s academic goals, we help determine a high school academic pathway that ensures that college admissions requirements are met.
Assistance in Identifying the “Best Fit” Colleges and Universities
Now that you have your grades, test scores, activity lists and interests, where should you consider applying? We will help you find a set of schools that meet your needs. We are problem solvers and can find great options for any student, no matter what the circumstance.
Extracurricular Activity Planning
Looking at the student’s interests and opportunities, we investigate activities including sports, clubs, community service, work, and more. Helping students find a balance outside of the classroom and understanding what colleges like to see can be healthy and beneficial.
Application Preparation Assistance
What are the colleges really asking? Who should I ask to be my recommenders? How do I decide what to write about? We work with you from the first draft essay to a final application review to help ensure that your application is as wonderful as you are.
Test Planning and Timing Recommendations
The “what, when, and why” of standardized testing, ways to prepare for the tests, and what they all mean. Thinking about this in advance can save time and money – and alleviate a lot of stress.
Financial Aid and Scholorships
Paying for college requires careful planning. I help families navigate financial aid forms, identify scholarship opportunities, and understand the options available to make college more affordable.
