An Independent Educational Consultant is a guide.

I believe choosing the best fit college is the first major leap into adulthood. The college search process can feel exhilarating and yet arduous. With an experienced guide, your student can avoid pitfalls and everyone can experience the journey with confidence at each turn.

“I honestly don't know if I would have the grasp I have now for my future plans for life without her influence.”
