Welcome

I help students explore possible career paths and potential majors while in high school. I guide them in selecting coursework and summer experiences that align with their interests and support their long-term goals.

I guide students in choosing activities, internships, and summer programs that reflect who they are (not what they think colleges want). I help them build meaningful involvement that tells a clear, authentic story.

I help students choose high-school courses that match their strengths, interests, and goals. I make sure their academic path supports both personal growth and future college options.

I help students prepare for the shift to college life when it comes to academics, independence, self-management, and expectations. I focus on building practical skills they can carry with them.

I help students decide whether to take standardized tests, which test to select, when to schedule them, and how often to take them. I also guide them on whether submitting test scores will strengthen their application and how test-optional policies fit into their overall strategy.

I help students build personalized college lists based on academic fit, social environment, financial considerations, and personality. I introduce students to options they may not have discovered on their own, creating a balanced and thoughtful list.

I help families decide which campuses to visit and make the most of each trip. I offer guidance on what to look for, what to ask, and how to evaluate fit afterward.

I guide students through the Common App and other platforms, explain what each section requires, and help them stay organized with timelines and task management.

I coach students (as needed) on how to present themselves with confidence. We practice common questions, storytelling, and communication skills so they feel prepared and comfortable.

I help students brainstorm personal statement ideas, shape their narrative, and refine drafts. I offer clear, supportive feedback that helps elevate their writing while keeping their voice front and center.

I help parents understand the admissions timeline and how to support their student without adding pressure. This helps keep everyone aligned and reduces confusion and stress.

I walk families through the basics of financial aid, including FAFSA, need-based aid, and merit aid concepts. I don’t fill out forms or apply for aid, but I help families understand the landscape and next steps.
