Additional Info
Description of Services : College admission is a matching process - once broken into incremental steps it becomes manageable. Working through self-reflection the researching of right-match colleges becomes less daunting; so, does the writing of a resume and the responding to interview questions. Understanding oneself allows for a more thoughtful personal statement and understanding the process allows for a sense of just how quixotic admissions can be.
Description of Experience : I work with juniors and seniors for the college admission/application process and both students and adults for resume and interviewing skills.
