I offer one comprehensive package for students. I have found over time that this is how I best operate as I get to know my students and their families very well. Since I know students’ personalities and preferences, I can more easily find best-fit colleges and help students find their voices in their essay process. Update: as of January 2024, I am offering one-hour “Ask Me Anything” sessions. Please see information below!
I take a limited amount of students per grade level to maintain quality services.

Transfer Student Consulting
As a former transfer student, I know how difficult it can be to feel that your first college wasn’t quite “right.” Whether transferring was your plan or your initial college wasn’t a good fit, I can help with the transfer application process. I charge hourly for this service and can help with:
A college list
Application review
Essay strategy and review
Resume creation and review
1-Hour “Ask Me Anything” Sessions
Occasionally a family just needs a “check-in” to make sure they are on the right track, or perhaps they have a list of questions that they would like to ask. This is ideal for families that just want a little bit of help. I charge my hourly rate and am “all ears” for an hour!
