Working Together
Every student's application journey is different. My flexible packages are designed to meet students where they are—whether that's understanding the college process from scratch, finding their voice in a personal statement, researching schools for authentic supplementals, or serving as their sidekick throughout the entire process, from brainstorming to final submission.
I believe every student deserves support through the application process, so pay-what-you-can spots are available each year. If cost is a barrier, please reach out to discuss options.

College Process Exploration & Planning — $650
3 sessions, beginning anytime from sophomore spring through the summer before senior year
This introductory package helps students get oriented to the college process and figure out what to focus on next.

We'll review your transcript and get to know your academic interests, extracurricular passions, long-term goals, and geographic preferences, then build a plan around what makes sense for your stage.
