Hire a TRUE expert: 25+ yrs elite university experience w/ proven results
Having coached students applying to elite and selective colleges across the US and Europe, my focus is on helping you craft the stories that help tell a compelling narrative about who you are behind the stats on your resume, application or transcripts. Helping students gain admission to the Ivy league, liberal arts programs, specialized degree programs (art, music, combined UG/GR programs)-- such as Brown, Penn, Harvard, Haverford, U of Chicago, Northwestern, and everything in between-- my focus is always personal, customized and designed to tell your unique story. As a first generation college student, I believe strongly that everyone should have the ability to access education! And, you should have a TRUE expert on your side-- one who has made admissions decisions, sat in committee rooms, managed waitlists, and crafted classes at the undergraduate and graduate level. Just getting a degree from an elite program doesn't teach you the nuances of the admissions process. As a career admissions professional, I want to give you the edge you need to get the dream school ADMIT you are seeking!
