Welcome

Hello! Welcome to my blog. If you’ve made it here then you are most likely in the process of trying to help your child through the college admissions process. If that’s you and you are feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unsure where to start, welcome! You are not alone. Take a deep breath and find a community where we celebrate the achievements of our children while finding a school that will help prepare them for their future career.

The world of college admissions has become flooded with misinformation, nuanced, and complex. What existed in college admissions when you likely applied to college has vastly changed due to an unlimited access to information via the Internet. Additionally, policies are continually shifting and most people do not have the bandwidth to continually track the changes occurring in admissions on campuses across the country.

What has not changed is the spirit of students reaching for higher education. There are still wonderful opportunities that abound for this generation of students. Today students have the ability to access multiple extracurricular activities, test their academic capabilities in their coursework, and develop skills that will make them highly desirable in the future marketplace.

I firmly believe that all students have the potential to reach their future goals. I love working with students to craft their applications. There is so much joy in seeing a student identify their strengths and learn how to communicate their capabilities on an application. 

If you have made it this far, thank you. I want this to be a place of refuge in the midst of the seemingly endless demands in the quest for higher education. I want to take away the fear mongering and remind you that at the heart of every application is a child. I believe in developing a whole student rather than molding them into an expectation. For when we develop the talents, skills, and abilities of our students, then they will arrive exactly where they need to be.

Thank you for being here.
