Academic Strategy
Leveraging a Ph.D.-level understanding of institutional admissions to build a list where your student will thrive.
Counseling-Led Approach
Navigating the emotional stress of the process with a Master’s in Counseling background.
The Success Anchor
Proactive support through "Summer Melt" and the first semester to ensure a successful long-term transition.
At Guiding Light College Consulting, I leverage my background in counseling and higher education administration to ensure your student both gets accepted to college and thrives once they arrive. When you work with Guiding Light, you work directly with me. I don’t pass my students off to junior associates or essay readers. You are hiring my 20+ years of institutional knowledge and counseling expertise for every step of the journey.
At Guiding Light, we offer our students the option of continuing to work with us through the first semester of college. We offer a “Full Journey” model to applicants. A college education is one of the largest investments your family will ever make. My mission is to ensure that investment isn't just about getting in, but about finishing strong. By supporting students through their first semester, we significantly reduce the risk of the 'freshman slump' or the 'summer melt.'
I chose the name “Guiding Light” because I believe the transition to college is one of the most significant shifts a young person will ever make. My goal is to provide the steady, expert guidance needed to navigate the fog of administrative hurdles and emotional transitions, ensuring every student finds their way to a successful finish line.
