College List Research

Still building your college list?

I help guide students on what factors to consider when researching potential colleges. My goal is for each student to create a balanced list that fits their individual academic and personal college needs.

Financial Aid Application Support

Applying for financial aid through FAFSA can be confusing and overwhelming. I help guide families through their financial aid applications to simplify the process.

Application Organization

Applying to college involves a lot of moving parts. Each application may require different materials (transcripts, letters of recommendation, personal statements, supplemental essays, activities lists, and more) with varied deadlines. I help students organize themselves and track what materials they need to prepare for each application.

Application System Walkthroughs

Colleges utilize unique application systems with varied components. I have extensive experience with application systems including the Common Application (Common App), University of California Application (UC App), and California State University Application (CSU App). I guide students through the intricacies of each application system so that the student understands what to prepare and what admission committees will be reviewing.
