“All parents take great pride in the special qualities of their children. My role is to define those qualities and channel them in unique ways that tell a compelling story for college admission.”
My goal is to help parents understand the educational process at all levels and to find the elementary, middle school, high school, and later college, that is the best match for their child's skills, talents, and ambitions. My motto is, "Plan to Succeed."
