Description of Services : I have over fifteen years of experience as an admission counselor at highly selective universities. Using my admission experience I advise students on how they can shine a light on their best selves and stand out in the admission process.
I offer help with course selection, building balanced college lists, essay brainstorming, standardized testing timelines, interview prep and application strategies. My goal is to take the anxiety out of the admission process so it can be as smooth and as stress-free as possible.
