Are you worried about applying to college?
I am a college counselor and I help students manage the college application process so they don’t feel stressed and overwhelmed. My students feel supported, so they can execute a personalized, well-balanced college application plan and enjoy their final year of high school.

Find Your Path To Follow Your Dreams.
The college application process has changed a lot over the years. It seems like schools are harder to get into than ever before.
How many AP classes should you take?
Is it better to get an A in an on-level class or challenge yourself and possibly get a lower grade in an AP class?
How should you spend your free time? What activities should you pursue?
What do test-optional and test-flexible mean? How does it affect your application?
How do you build a college list that is right for you?
Just the mere mention of college applications can invoke fear in students and parents.
But I have some good news.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Hi, I’m Monica . . .
and I can guide your family through the college application process to find the best-fit institution and increase the likelihood of being admitted. I will be supporting your student while ensuring the college timeline is followed and deadlines are met. My hope is that your family will be able to have meaningful college conversations and enjoy a peaceful household as you watch your student take the next step in their journey to find their path to follow their dreams.

Don’t Let the Entire Staircase Overwhelm You. Just Focus on That First Step.
