Ready to start the college journey? 

I love working with families who want high-touch, individualized guidance, either because their student has greater needs, because they are not familiar with the new college landscape, or perhaps just because they want to avoid the overwhelm and have someone in their corner who will manage the process!

But, this is not when my services end. I help you navigate deferrals or waitlists and how to make the final decision.

I then stay with you through the summer before college, to answer questions about anything from roommates, orientation, to course registration.
 
When freshman fall starts, I remain in contact to help the student through the transition.
