Does any of this sound (way too) familiar?

  • For students

    • Applying to college feels like the most important thing you’ve taken on in your life and overwhelming.

    • How do you figure out what college is right for you? And can you even get in?

    • You know you need to start the application process but it seems confusing and daunting.

    • You just want to enjoy your summer and senior year. How do you add college apps without stressing out?

    • What do you even put on your application and into your essays? Have you done enough? This question is causing doubt and anxiety.

    • You think you’re a “bad writer.” (Here’s a secret: most people think this, and it’s not true!).

    • On top of the pressure to pick the right school and complete the app process, you’re nervous about leaving home and afraid of what’s to come.

    I can help!

  • For parents

    • You want the absolute best for your kids, but it can be hard to be the one in charge of their college selection and application experience. So much pressure!

    • You’re overwhelmed by the idea of helping your teenager get into college (on top of all the other challenges of raising a teen!).

    • You’re frustrated at reminding your teenager over and over again about college app deadlines.

    • You’re scared your kid won’t get into a good school—or any school.

    • The process seems confusing and daunting.

    • Do you wish you could just hand the whole college app process over to someone who gets it? That’s me. Let me help!
