Confident Students - Authentic Applications
The Right College Fit
Empowering Students To Stand Out and Achieve More
Hi, I’m Katie! As a former school counselor and college admissions reader, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming the college application process can be for families. I started this business because I know how stressful it is when your student is doing everything ‘right’—yet it still feels like there’s no clear path to standing out in competitive admissions.
My Experience
School Counselor - I understand the intricacies of the school system and how to help your student navigate what they need in high school to be successful in the admissions process.
Admissions Reader - I know how competitive schools evaluate applications and what it looks like at committee to narrow down their top applicants
Experience in High Performing Communities - I understand the frustration of families who feel like their student is doing “everything” but still needs a way to stand out.
Global Education Perspective - After working abroad and observing and learning how different education systems operate, I use this experience to empower families who were educated outside the U.S. and are now guiding their child through the American college admissions process for the first time. My goal is to help families feel confident and informed to make the best decisions for their child’s future.
How I Help!
I take the guesswork out of college planning by providing a structured step by step curriculum designed to support families through every stage of the admissions process. My approach is built on three core principals:
Student Centered
Every application should reflect a student’s unique strengths, talents, and aspirations. Authenticity leads to long-term success and makes applications stand out.
Data Driven
College admissions can feel unpredictable, but real data and trends provide clarity. I help families make informed, strategic decisions.
Partnership
The student is in the driver’s seat, I provide the roadmap, and parents offer support. Together, we create a structured, successful, and stress-free journey.
