Best Part of the Job

“I enjoy getting to know the families and students that we work with. Each student has such unique giftings and passions that make it so much fun to help them discover the perfect place to spend their college years.”

Biggest Challenge Students Face

“I think there are so many voices in a student’s life (sometimes too many) – whether it be social media, their teachers, their peers, the news, their family. Being a teenager is already so confusing, so having to distinguish these voices on what is true and right can be hard at times. This same problem can come up in the college process and that’s why we want to help you clearly walk through the college process and alleviate the stress.”

Advice to Students and Parents

“It is important to hit your deadlines. Often at colleges, an application can NOT be viewed until it is deemed complete, and if you miss deadlines, your application is incomplete!”
