Comprehensive Plan
My Comprehensive Plan is designed to guide the student and family from start to finish through the college admissions process. I start with a meeting with the student and parents/guardians to understand their interests, goals, and plans for college.
Throughout the process, I review the student’s high school courses and extracurricular activities, create a standardized testing schedule based on the student’s needs and goals, provide advice on application strategy, and more for up to 18 applications.
I am here for you every step of the way, from creating a list of potential colleges to the final school decision.
Mission
There are easy and hard ways to apply to college. Let me share my expertise with you to reduce the stress that so often surrounds the college admissions process.
Focusing on efficiency and organization, my goal is to serve as both a resource and an ally to students and their families to find the perfect college match. I can help students discover and cultivate their academic and extracurricular interests so that they can focus on choosing the right school.
