“I know what I want in a college experience.  I can feel it, but I can’t explain it.”

Using my instincts and depth of experience, I help clients draw parameters around a college search. Part of my process is putting words to that ineffable feeling of “home.”  For some students, it’s about distance.  For others, climate plays a big factor.  Sometimes there’s a certain magic that’s hard to pinpoint: a good independent bookstore, a vibrant arts scene, or a strong sense of school identity.

“I waited until after Christmas to open all of my collge applications and the questions are harder than I thought.”

I provide creative and customized essay suggestions, workflows, and deadlines for students in a crunch.  I use my market savvy plus my understanding of the student to provide a structure and process for completing essays that maximizes student time and effort.

“I got my degree.  If only I knew what to do with it.”

Using an in-depth interviewing and exploratory approach, I get to know students beyond words on a resume.  I verbalize their distinctive strengths and learn the story of their academic, personal, and professional growth.  I then identify graduate schools, employers, industries, and positions that value what the student brings to the table, and I help students understand how they can be their own best salesperson in cover letters, resumes, and interviews.
