About Me

Andrea Aronson brings more than a decade of experience as a college admissions counselor in New Jersey, operating from her regional office in Westfield. She earned her MBA from Wharton and spent over 20 years in marketing and business — at companies including American Express, Reader's Digest, and Bank One — before turning that expertise toward her true passion: helping students find the right college and graduate school fit.

Andrea has served as a college admissions interviewer for both Dartmouth and Penn, taught college writing and business communication, and worked with students headed to schools across the spectrum — from Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford to strong-fit options beyond the top tier, including Division 1 athletes and students seeking significant financial aid. She holds a BA in Russian Studies from Dartmouth (Cum Laude) and a Certificate in College Admissions Counseling from UCLA, and is a member of HECA, NACAC, and NJACAC. She lives in Westfield with her husband, three children, and a Labradoodle named Cisco, and is a proud weekly finisher of the New York Times crossword.
