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.

  • This 4-session introductory package is designed to set students who are just starting to explore the college process up for success. We'll spend time reviewing your transcript, getting to know your academic interests, extracurricular passions, long-term goals, and geographic preferences, and then create a balanced college list with a mix of reach, match, and foundation schools. We'll introduce teacher recommendations, test timelines and strategy, and walk through the Common App and supplemental essay process so you feel confident about tackling every step.

    You'll walk away with:

    • A clear understanding of the college application process

    • A draft of a balanced college list

    • Initial personal statement brainstorm and direction

    *Many students move into one of the essay packages once these initial sessions are complete.
