Expertise Across the Board
Planning
Waiting until application time is stressful. I like to get started with students by sophomore or junior year. I guide students in selecting optimal coursework, making test plans and exploring careers so they are ready when application time comes. |
Career Fit
Using professional and personal evaluation tools, I help students explore personality, aptitudes and interests to help find a career direction. |
Knowledge of Colleges
I have extensive college understanding gained by touring 30-35 schools each year to get a personal impression of campus culture and to stay current on new programs and facilities. |
Scholarships
The largest scholarships come from the colleges themselves, so applying to the right schools is key to affordability. I can also help students find and apply to local and national scholarships. |
Applications
Applications come in many formats with many different deadlines. I guide each student to showcase his/her talents, considering how and when to apply, highlighting extracurricular activities, and helping the student write an essay that conveys the student's personality and goals. |
Personal Coach
I provide an informed perspective to consider the needs and aspirations of students and their families. I am a guide providing direction; the student does the work -- and hopefully has some fun along the way. |
