Joyce College Consulting helps students identify the college environment in which they will thrive, discover schools that embody that environment, and bring their strengths and personalities to life in their applications and essays. We work with students in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout the country.

About Me


I bring a unique set of experiences to my work with students and their families. I spent over twenty years as a marketing executive, working for companies including Charles Schwab, AAA, Smith Barney, and Varian Medical Systems. I acted as a marketing strategist and researcher, copywriter and editor, project manager, client relationship manager, competitive analyst, and hiring manager.

I use these same skills every day helping students. Paired with my years of volunteering as a college consultant, and earning my certificate in education consulting, I am uniquely positioned to help students find their true voice and ideal path.



I draw on my research skills to stay on top of current trends in higher education, learn about individual colleges, and get to know my students well. I draw on my marketing skills to be sure each student is presenting himself/herself in the best possible way to colleges. I draw on my strategic planning skills to keep the big picture in mind when advising students about class selection, extracurricular activities, and college lists. I draw on my project management skills to create ways to manage deadlines and help my students stay on top of the process. And I draw on my ever-present sense of humor to relate to my students and make sure we all stay sane in this process!
