College Counseling in Pittsburgh, PA

---

An essential part of my curriculum is getting to know the student to help them best portray their story in the college application process. 

I have designed an impactful, development-focused curriculum based on my professional knowledge and experience. 

My approach to career and major advising meets the student where they're at in their journey.  

No idea what to study in college? We will determine some potential majors based on personality, aptitudes, and interests.

Sometimes students know exactly what they want to study, but it's always good to have a back-up plan!

Students complete online personality and aptitude tests in order to gain insight into potential great-fit college settings and careers.

I develop a great-fit college list based on my knowledge of the student, their goals, and a range of criteria we determine together. I provide data on each college and access to an incredible online college planning tool to help manage the college selection and application process. 

I help the student understand what college application readers are looking for in an applicant. Next, I guide the student through the application process, helping present the student in the best light. When admissions outcomes are received, I assist families in their decision-making by using important return on investment indicators.

SAT or ACT? How many tests? When should tests be taken? I advise students based on their strengths and goals.  

I do not offer test preparation as it is highly specialized work. I am able to recommend test prep organizations whose results I trust.
