College Application Guidance

College applications don't have to be stressful.

I guide students through a self-exploratory process that helps them present who they really are — their accomplishments, their voice, and what makes them a standout applicant.

As a 2025/2026 freshman application reader for UC Santa Cruz, I reviewed over 700 applications and understand firsthand what admissions teams are looking for — and what makes a student's application genuinely stand out.

With additional experience as a College/Career Advisor and Educational Therapist, I support the whole student, not just the application.

Sessions can include:

• Essay/PIQ Topic Selection & Brainstorming

• Essay/PIQ Guidance, Review & Encouragement

• Full Application Review (extracurriculars, leadership, work experience, and more)

• College List Exploration & Strategy

• High School to College Transition Support
