Description of Experience : I enjoy working with high school students. I emphasize strengthening their student profiles through developing a course plan and extracurricular activities that reflects their interests, aptitude and talents. I encourage students to develop a values-based approach to their college application to portray their unique stories and explain why they are interested in a particular field of study. I help them build a realistic college list that will enable them to thrive in a best fit college.
