No, I'm no Jedi knight, but I do know how to help students with the empirically difficult task of college applications. (See what I did there?)

Feedback like this email is my greatest reward:

"Hi Kalia. Just a quick thank you for coming to meet my daughter yesterday. She definitely feels more confident and comfortable facing her interviews and tackling her essays.

Honestly, after you left, I think she just appeared more relaxed in general!

As for me, I feel so much better knowing she is prepared and confident. If I am less worried & stressed, she will be too. We are certainly on this journey together!"

Email [email protected] and we'll schedule your free 10-minute assessment phone call. Thanksgiving break is a great time to tackle those applications.

'Tis the season to attend orientations and move into freshman dorm rooms!

It's so rewarding to hear back from students I've helped. Congratulations, Noelle, for making it into your first-choice school! Trinity is lucky to have you.

I hope everyone is having a great back-to-school week! It's wonderful to hear back from last year's seniors now that they are moving onto their new college campuses. I know they made great choices and have exciting futures ahead of them.

Do you have a child starting his or her senior year? Let me demystify the college application process and help you find the right fit for your child's future college home.

This isn't one of those dreaded "back-to-school" posts. Well, not quite.

It is a gentle reminder that working on your college applications before you head back to school is a great way to give yourself a strong start to the year and have one less worry.

I'd love to help! Write me at [email protected] and we'll schedule a meeting in the coming weeks. Even an hour can make a huge difference!

Thanksgiving break is a good time to wrap up those college applications! If you are home from school or have a child home from school and could use support in the application process, contact me.

I have daytime appointments available this week and limited evening appointments.

I have also done some remote counseling by phone for students as far away as Florida and Arizona.

"We all feel so much better after talking with you." It was incredibly rewarding to hear this after meeting with a young woman and her parents, and the reason I do what I do!

November 15th is an Early Decision deadline for many and I have a limited number of spots open before Sunday. Contact me right away if you would like important feedback on your application before you submit.

I had a wonderful meeting with a student and his family last night. As I read his essay and gave him feedback he said, "Wow. It's amazing what a few words can portray. Sometimes it says something you didn't intend." Exactly! That's what I'm here for -- to offer that important perspective. He reshaped a few phrases and when we were done he had a huge smile on his face and looked like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders.

I love helping students and families find that clarity and confidence.

Application time is moving quickly. I am happy to help a student move forward at any phase of the process. There's no need to be "finished" before you ask for support and advice. Be sure to contact me at [email protected] before December 1st to take advantage of the special rate of $75 per hour.
