Join us for an informative and practical conversation about one of life’s biggest decisions—finding the right college fit for your child (not influenced by family expectations or social media trends). What We’ll Cover: Budgeting and Loans: Honest discussions about affordability, student loans, and assessing whether that dream college is worth the financial investment. Location Matters: The true costs of living far from home, including travel expenses and everyday costs. Return on Investment (ROI): Understanding what your tuition is really paying for, beyond rankings and prestige. Academic Fit: How to look beyond big-name schools to find the best program and learning environment for your student. Enjoying the College Experience: Why it's important to choose a college where your student can thrive both academically and socially. Success Strategies: Practical tips to help your child balance academics, social life, and personal growth. Who Should Attend: High school students beginning their college search. Parents who want to have informed, productive college discussions. Anyone looking for a realistic, balanced approach to selecting the right college. Why This Session Stands Out: This session provides straightforward, practical advice to support one of the most significant educational and financial decisions your family will face. I aim to offer clear, actionable guidance, real-life examples, and myth-busting insights to empower informed decision-making.

Coaches professionally
Welcome to my profile! With experience across academic advising, college interviewing, execution of pre-college passion projects, letter of recommendation writing, and what it takes to standout in a sea of people, I bring a wealth of experience in education and student success. I have a 100% success rate for helping get students into Stanford when I start working with them by sophomore year. During my time at Stanford, I was a three-time Academic All-American and captain of the Stanford Equestrian Team, demonstrating my commitment to excellence and leadership. Professionally, I've worked as an Operations and Product Manager at Curious Cardinals and as a special education advocate at the Center for Developing Minds, where I developed programs and executed sales to support students with educational disabilities. My background in data science and consulting further equips me to provide tailored, data-driven strategies to help you navigate the college admissions process. Let's work together to achieve your academic goals! Reach out to get started.
