College Guidance & Coaching

My work with high school students—particularly first-generation and low-income students—helping to navigate the college application process is a personal passion project. I find joy in helping students recognize their own strengths, articulate their stories, and serve as an accountability partner in making progress advancing towards their dreams.

Through 1:1 in-person (preferred) or virtual weekly sessions, I offer my guidance through every step of the college application journey. My approach is holistic and centers on the student’s needs and meeting them where they (and their family) are in the process.

If you or a student you know may benefit from having college coaching support, get in touch.

  • I offer a range of support designed to meet each student’s needs—from getting started and exploring what college might look like to scaling up in senior year to navigate deadlines and complete applications. My approach is tailored to help each student—and their family—move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through my contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk through the next steps together and answer any questions along the way.

  • As a college coach, I bring my lived experience and journey as a first-generation, immigrant, and low-income student. As a mother of three—one college graduate and two currently in college—I also understand how challenging and daunting the college application process can be for both students and families.

    My personal journey inspired my career in higher education, where I now work as a learning designer. To my coaching, I bring that experience, my higher education expertise, and a deep passion for working with students—helping them harness their own passions, recognize their strengths, and be dauntless in pursuing their dreams.

  • You can reach me anytime via our contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • My standard fee is $100 per week for one 60-minute session, with wrap-around support as needed to help students stay on track and complete their applications. I offer a sliding-scale fee and, when needed, work pro bono with students. I never want cost to be a barrier to accessing support. Please contact me to discuss what might work for you.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. I am flexible, here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving to application completion.
