About Me

At Make It U College Consulting, I believe the college admissions journey shouldn't be stressful - it should be an empowering experience of self-discovery for your student and family. Based in Livermore, CA, I specialize in working with local students at Granada High School and Livermore High School, as well as high school families throughout Pleasanton, Dublin, and the wider Tri-Valley region.

I invest deeply in every student I mentor, taking the time to understand their unique personality, strengths, academic goals, and passions. As a California public university specialist, I guide families through the unique requirements of the UC Personal Insight Questions (PIQs) and CSU application strategies, alongside traditional Common App private school options. This personalized, 1-on-1 approach allows me to build a uniquely curated college list and comprehensive application plan tailored to their potential - all while keeping college affordability top of mind for parents.

Through strategic application planning, essay mentoring, and financial fit analysis, I help families navigate every milestone with clarity and confidence. By the time my students head off to campus, the strong professional bond we've built makes for a proud celebration of their success. Consultations are conducted 1-on-1 virtually via Zoom or by appointment.
