I am an Independent Education Counselor specializing in guidance for students for career planning and college admissions to the US. I specialize in guidance for students in Grade 8-12 for career planning and college admissions to the US. My expertise is in helping students share their story through the common app and supplement essays.

I have spent a decade expanding my knowledge and understanding of the college admissions process honing my skills as a college counselor. Having lived both in India and the US as a parent, I understand the education system very well in both places and have a global perspective.

About Me

I am a College Counselor
I specialize in guidance for students in grades 8-12 for career planning and college admissions to the US.
I have spent a decade expanding my knowledge and understanding of the college admissions process honing my skills as a college counselor. Having lived both in India and the US as a parent, I understand the education system very well in both places and have a global perspective.

I make a difference in my student’s lives and help them achieve their goals and dreams and walk alongside them in their journey. I strongly believe that my success lies in my students’ successes.

I also teach my students life skills – how to cook a simple meal, manage finances, time management, and more.

Community Service
Giving back to the community isn’t just about getting admission to a college, it teaches us an important value – Empathy and one of the main traits for a successful leader.

Barack Obama rightly said, “Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world”.
Growing up I was in awe of my philanthropist grandfather and even though I can never fit in his shoes but can make a humble attempt to follow in his footsteps.

I am always looking for opportunities to make a difference and these are some of my recent accomplishments.

Education and Certification
I am a seeker and am always looking to learn with a zest for knowledge. Growing up I did not know what I wanted to be in life and changed paths multiple times from being an interior designer to a graphic/web designer to an artist to a teacher to education and finally, I found my passion in working with kids and helping them find their path.
