How it works

A clear path, from first call to decision day

01 · Strategy

Get your bearings

It starts with a free session. We talk through your goals, your grades, and what you actually want out of college, then map a plan that fits.

02 · Build

Build the application

Course planning, testing strategy, your college list, the essays. We work through it together, at a pace that fits your life.

03 · Submit

Apply with confidence

By submission day you'll know why every school is on your list, what makes your application yours, and how to handle whatever comes back.

About

One counselor, the whole way through

College Coordinates is a solo practice. You work directly with me on everything, with no hand-offs, no junior staff, and no templates. I've guided students through hundreds of applications at every kind of school, and I've learned the process works best when students are driving it, not just along for the ride.

The approach is honest, strategic, and low-drama. Most of the time things work out, and a lot of my job is helping you see why.

More about my approach
+

Genuinely personalized. Your college list doesn't come from a spreadsheet. It comes from knowing you.

+

No upselling. Solo practice means no one pushing services you don't need.

+

Long-term thinking. I'll work with you as early as 9th grade, because fit matters more than a name on a sweatshirt.

+

Direct access. You get my number and straight answers. That's the whole model.
