MY CORE VALUES

I have a lifetime of commitment and passion for college admissions counseling. I’m fueled by my past students’ continued successes.

TRUST

During the college admissions process, you will learn a lot about yourself. I am known for creating a safe space for you to share your growth and insights with me, honestly and authentically. I do not judge you. I will tell you the truth, what you need to know, to get you where you want to go. It will not always be what you want to hear, but I will do so with kindness, compassion, and the aim of getting you there.

EXCELLENCE

I have deep expertise and personal knowledge in the college admissions and success space. I know what a successful application and convincing essays look like. I bring my best self to this work on your behalf, and I, therefore, expect the same from you. I do not expect perfection, but I do expect you to give your best effort and respect the process. In turn, I will support and guide you. I will push you to seek new challenges, overcome procrastination, and confront your fear of the unknown. It will all be worth it in the end!

STUDENT FOCUSED

I will work closely with you to enhance your strengths and identify key opportunities to grow into more of you really are, so colleges take notice and distinguish you from other applicants. All our time together is spent personalizing and tailoring your application to fit your academic goals and life dreams. Colleges are experienced in spotting in authenticity. Therefore, cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all templates do not work.

EMPATHY

I am a listener. I realize this is a challenging and often intimidating process. I will do everything I can to provide support and help you feel less stressed, including action items, a time frame, and schedule to get the job done.
