A former White House intern, Heather built a PR career before founding Set Sail College Counseling after her own Gettysburg College experience.

About Me


Heather Bandura's love of college discovery began over 30 years ago, when she worked with an independent college counselor to find her own fit beyond Southern California — eventually choosing Gettysburg College, where studying English and exploring the surrounding battlefields shaped her into a confident, creative, independent adult. That experience is what she now hopes to help other students find.

Heather holds a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA, completed her practicum at Dana Hills High School, and interned with a leading Southern California educational consultant. Before founding Set Sail College Counseling, she built a career in strategic enrollment and marketing — as owner of eduCom Marketing, Marketing and Enrollment Management Director for a parish school, and earlier, owner of her own PR consultancy specializing in marketing to moms, work recognized in the Digital Mom Handbook. She began her communications career as a White House intern in the Office of the First Lady.
