Our Approach
Relationship-Based College Admissions Coaching
My approach is built on a simple belief: every student has the potential to reach their dream college when given personalized guidance that goes beyond test scores and GPAs.
While many consultants focus exclusively on high achievers targeting elite schools, I work with students across the academic spectrum—from high achievers to B+ students still discovering their strengths.
What matters most is finding colleges where your student will actually thrive.
How I Work With Families:
It's Personal, Not Transactional
I work with only 12 students in each application cycle because I believe in deep, meaningful relationships. I get to know your student as a whole person—not just their GPA or test scores.
By taking an active interest in who they are, what they care about, and how they see the world, I help them tell their authentic story in applications.
Fit Over Prestige
My goal isn't to help every student get into an Ivy League school. My goal is to help your student find colleges where they'll:
-
Be academically challenged without being overwhelmed
-
Find their community and sense of belonging
-
Explore their interests and discover new passions
-
Graduate confident and ready for what's next
Not every student has a 4.0. Not every family wants the Ivy League pressure cooker. And that's completely okay.
Strategic, Not Formulaic
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to college admissions. Every student's timeline, goals, and circumstances are different.
​
I create customized plans based on:
-
When we start working together (sophomore, junior, or senior year)
-
Your student's academic profile and interests
-
Your family's priorities (location, cost, campus culture, etc.)
-
Your student's authentic voice and experiences
​​
Supportive -- Not Stressful
The college application process is inherently stressful. My job is to reduce that stress, not add to it.
I work directly with students while keeping parents informed. I provide accountability without pressure. I help families make decisions together without conflict.
Parents consistently tell me I became a trusted advisor during one of the most overwhelming periods of their family's life.
What Makes Evolve Different:
We See the Whole Person.
The students I work with are more than just applicants. They're sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, athletes, band members, artists, writers, gamers, and scientists.
I help them understand their unique strengths and how to articulate what makes them special—not manufacture a "perfect" story that doesn't feel like them.
We Respect Where They're At
Whether your student is:
-
A high achiever with clear goals
-
A late bloomer still figuring things out
-
Someone with learning differences or challenges
-
An athlete, artist, or student with unique talents
I meet them where they are and help them shine.​
