In the ever-changing landscape of college admissions, in addition to a variety of
financial, academic, and social factors, finding best-fit schools is critical.

Linda’s unique approach to the college planning process is personalized and helps students and parents navigate this process with ease and success. She believes a consultant is an extension of and complement to the college services at school.

I guide students on their journey of self-exploration. My goal is to relieve family stress by
breaking down the process into manageable steps. I am passionate about helping
students incorporate their interests and goals throughout the college search and
application process. I encourage students to own the process by equipping them with
easy-to-follow tools to research schools and follow a detailed timeline. Beyond the
college process, my students gain highly-transferable skills: researching, finding a voice,
self-advocacy, resume writing, interviewing, and more. My hope is that at the end of our
time together, students will build a new sense of confidence and feel emboldened in their
passions. I love working collaboratively with students to find successful college matches
where students will grow academically and socially.
