How it Works
I will help you build a customized action plan aligned with your college goals..
I offer several college counseling packages designed to fit your family’s needs.
Many students begin planning at the end of sophomore year, but support can start at any stage.
All meetings and workshops are provided online via Zoom.
Getting Started:
1. Complimentary Discovery Meeting
You can email me or schedule a complimentary 20-minute Zoom consultation to discuss where you are in the process of applying for colleges. I’ll learn more about your goals, share my college counseling packages, and explain how I can best support you. My email and scheduling link are here.
2. Let’s Find the Right Fit
My college advising packages are tailored to the colleges you’re applying to and the guidance you need along the way.
UC/CSU + Common App Package is for students applying to California public universities as well as up to six private and out-of-state colleges that use the Common Application.
UC/CSU Package is for students applying exclusively to University of California and California State University campuses.
Common App Package is for students applying to private and out-of-state public universities that use the Common Application.
Students may also choose the 5-Hour Package, a flexible option for those who need a smaller amount of college advising support. Payment is due in advance of the first session and availability is limited.

“I don't know where I'd be in my college process without you... probably quite lost and stressed for most of the year. You helped me improve my personal writing skills not just for college essays, but in general. It was also really nice to have a supportive adult who genuinely believed that everything would work out and trusted me to get things done. I cannot stress enough how much I've appreciated your help in the last year, and it was a pleasure to work with you.”
