Empowering Teens to OWN their authentic path
Consider a journey that celebrates the student’s voice
Cultivating Teen engagement TO DEFINE “SUCCESS“ ON their TERMS
When teenagers make decisions based on their core values, it amplifies engagement, confidence, and success
I invite you to consider:
A holistic approach focused on student interests, personal goals, and family values;
Guidance toward self-reflection, creating a meaningful education plan based on a unique set of internal drivers;
A HECA and NACAC accredited professional with a current understanding of trends/processes in higher education and admissions;
Access to a variety of educational paths, ranging from the traditional to alternative environments for every style of learner;
Facilitation of parent-student alignment to enhance communication, mitigate tension, and manage expectations;
Access to information about free or low-cost resources within local schools and communities;
Coaching support to help students feel more grounded in the process and confidence to take steps forward;
A safe space for students to be curious, ask questions, and make progress toward planning for their future.
INTEGRATED APPROACH TO COLLEGE PLANNING

Vision + Discovery
The more a student knows about their inner motivations and drivers, the better they are at making confident decisions. Through interest and aptitude assessments, reflection on core values, parent/student intake forms, and a review of academic success and challenges, a Student Profile is formulated. This evolving outline guides our process. Authentic reflection is beneficial on many levels, as curiosity and engagement are highly encouraged. I provide a neutral space for students to explore to develop a broader view of themselves and their place in college and beyond.
Circles of Influence
I help students identify their personal Circles Of Influence (COI’s). COI’s are specific mentors and programs in all areas of life to positively support student well-being, expose them to new opportunities, and deepen their engagement in exploration and learning.
Education Roadmap
With results from the Vision + Discovery step, we develop a personal Education Roadmap, a framework for each student’s education focus by semester. Here, each responsibility is broken down into actionable steps, including milestones to track progress.

Education planning can be stressful
I guide both students and parents toward reliable, fact-based resources and attainable options in order to achieve and maintain a healthy perspective on the college planning and admissions process.
I provide resources and tools to help students organize themselves so they can keep stress at a minimum and easily track various components of their application process. Organization tools include support with: essay prompts, campus visits, letters of recommendations, standardized test prep, transcript requests, and various other critical details.
