Welcome to Collegiate Counselor
Making Your College Dreams a Reality
Making Your College Dreams a Reality
Choosing a college is the most important decision many high school students will make, yet families often don’t have the information they need to ensure they’re making the best choices at this critical time. The admissions process changes constantly, and it is often difficult for high school counselors, parents and students to stay current.
That’s why I’m here.
The Collegiate Counselor is dedicated to clarifying the college admissions process and helping students and families make the most of it. I will guide families step by step to help students find the best match and help position them for successful admission.
Every student is unique and has a special story to tell, so I offer a range of services with a focus on the student’s interests, strengths, priorities and goals.
Understand how college admissions looks at essays and how you can shine your brightest!
We will help you navigate the application and application process and ensure you don't miss important deadlines and steps.
Master the Common App process and leverage the tools available to apply to multiple colleges.
Create your story. Resumes are your opportunity to show achievements, personality, passion, goals and what makes you unique.
Learn about Bright Futures, scholarships, grants and financial and aid options - and get in early on the action.
Understand how to report your GPA, dual enrollment, AICE, gifted, IB, honors and classes not yet completed.
Let’s schedule an initial consultation first to discuss your questions, concerns and goals. This one-hour session is for students and their parents. It’s an opportunity for us to talk through how to approach finding your best fit college. I ask you to send me your transcript and available test scores prior to our meeting so I can provide a thorough analysis. We can meet in-person or virtually - whichever you prefer.
The initial consultation may be all you are looking for, or you may choose an individualized plan with periodic sessions or check-ins to help your student stay on track or an all-inclusive plan to follow you throughout your college search and application journey.
There's no time like the present! The college admission process is competitive, confusing, overwhelming and ever-changing!
Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, I can help get you started, keep you moving and ensure you stay on track with important deadlines!
