My Approach
Personal
I work with each student and family individually, taking the time to understand and process their needs, means and goals.
Present & Adaptable
Availability is a key factor. I am always just a phone call, text or e-mail away when I am needed.
Confidential
I do not share information with colleges, universities, other clients or anyone without prior permission.
Personal
I work with each student and family individually, taking the time to understand and process their needs, means and goals. This allows me to present a list of colleges and universities that is suitable to the student’s interests, affordable for the family, and which includes places where the goals of both the student and the family have the greatest opportunity for fruition.
Our work together will not supercede the work of guidance counselors, college advisors, coaches or parents. Rather it will help to enrich the process, pulling together the good advice from all of these avenues to find the very best options for the student. My time is devoted to a select group of clients and their families who I can take the time to know and work closely with in order to advise them on a need basis and help them to find the best choices for that student.
Present & Adaptable
Availability is a key factor. This is an ever-changing process for both the student and the family. There are many variables, different for each student and family. Test scores change, college visitations will alter the list, and admissions interviews will have a similar effect. College coaching interests heighten or fade. Merit scholarships are offered or financial aid packages are better or worse than expected. These are just a few of the variables that the student and their families will encounter that will need immediate attention. I am always just a phone call, text or e-mail away in these delicate times, a source that knows the student, family and “business” of admissions extremely well.
I encourage phone calls, texts, e-mails and meetings for both the student and their families. I not only welcome these exchanges, but I expect them to occur on a regular basis, as they will provide me with the best possible information moving forward in the evolving process. I see these changes as exciting developments that can and should often be acted upon immediately. Even “bad” news can be positive in the process of college admissions. It all depends on the reaction to changing variables.
Confidential
Confidentiality is an important part of college and secondary school admissions consulting. In striving for the perfect college fit for a student it is important that I get to know as much about the student and what makes him or her tick as possible through meetings and correspondence. I do not share information with colleges, universities, other clients or any other folks I am involved with unless I receive permission from the client and their family.
