Teenagers applying to college are going through a very special rite of passage. Supporting them in this once-in-a-lifetime transition is my passion. Having taught in classrooms and writing centers at Columbia University, Macaulay Honors College and the United States Military Academy at West Point, I know firsthand what skills and competencies students need to succeed in college.

I translate this knowledge into my college application consulting practice, using the process as an opportunity for high school students to begin thinking and expressing themselves at the college level. They’ll discover how to articulate their own interests and goals in a way that communicates who they are to college admissions committees. By breaking the application process into manageable steps and working on one element at a time, we’ll create memorable, effective applications that will pave the way for the next phase of your child’s journey.
