Personalized College Planning
It’s not just about your child getting into college—it's about finding a place where they will thrive.
Imagine having a mentor who truly understands your child —
Someone who sees a whole person beyond the transcripts and test scores. Someone who sees your child's potential and will cheer them on as they pursue their goals. Someone who isn't their parent! Every student deserves to feel empowered, confident, and understood as they make decisions about their futures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Why should I hire a college admissions consultant?
Think of hiring a college counselor as a small part of the larger investment you are planning to make in your child’s education. School counselors do a great job, but they do not have time to create a personalized plan for your child or to coach your child through every step of the process.
Q.Will hiring you help my kid get into a top school?
I cannot guarantee admission to any specific college—nobody can. What I can promise is that I will help your child put their best foot forward so the applications they submit are clear, cohesive represenations of who they are as people and what they will bring to their college communities.
Q.Will you tell my child the secret for getting into an Ivy League School?
There is no secret for gaining acceptance to a specific school. I will help your child reflect on who they are and what they are interested in, recommending ways to deepen those interests. Anything I suggest will be based on your child’s preferences and personal growth. Pursuing interests and then reflecting on those pursuits in the college application is the best way to develop as a person and, in turn, the best way to impress colleges.
Q.What should my child include in their college application to stand out?
The key to making an impression is creating a clear, cohesive application with a consistent theme. Through our sessions together, I will get to know your child and will help them showcase their strengths to maximize impact.
Q.How early should my child start preparing for the college application process?
It is never too early to plan for college. I will help your child assess their goals and map out a plan to achieve them. As early as middle school, we can discuss your child’s course selections, extracurricular activities, and summer plans, ensuring their choices will bolster their resumes AND enrich them as people.
