What Makes Me Different?

I empower...
... and challenge my students to think critically and creatively. Together, we create a winning story that captures their potential and values.
I personalize...

No "One-Size-Fits-All" Approach
Many college counseling services apply the same formula for their clients' college applications, leading to mediocre essays that all sound the same. This is an easy way to get rejected. To get into your dream school or the Ivy League, you must give the Admissions Committee something they haven't seen before.
My results are never cookie-cutter. I take a limited number of clients each year to work 1-on-1 with my clients - no middleman! Together, we'll get to the root of what makes you UNIQUE in order to make your dream college a possibility.
