The Strategic Assist
Most consultants focus solely on the acceptance letter. I focus on the life that comes after graduation. By combining two decades of admissions expertise with the Neurodevelopmental Model and technical program vetting, I ensure your student is not just admitted but prepared to thrive. I am a strategist for students who think differently.
While I love working with local families and meeting at my favorite community spots, I work with students nationwide. The Strategic Assist is designed to be effective over video consulting, providing the same high-level playbook and personal coaching regardless of your zip code.
An engineering degree is only as valuable as its accreditation. I specialize in vetting programs for ABET standards and industry alignment to ensure your student’s degree carries professional weight. I help families navigate complex departmental requirements that general consultants often overlook.
I use the Neurodevelopmental Model to identify how a student’s brain actually works. I then match them with universities that offer the specific environment and self-advocacy tools they need to succeed. My goal is to move the student from being supported to being their own best advocate.
I work with every kind of thinker. While I specialize in the technical vetting required for STEM and the specialized support needed for neurodiversity, my Strategic Assist is designed for any student ready to take ownership of their future. Whether your student is a future engineer, a creative artist, or a liberal arts scholar, I provide the playbook they need to build self-advocacy and professional confidence. Every student deserves a launch built on their unique strengths rather than a one size fits all checklist.
The most successful launches are built on a multi-year strategy. While I offer high-intensity engagement for juniors and seniors, starting in 8th or 9th grade allows us to build the self-advocacy and technical rigor required for competitive programs. Success in high-stakes environments does not happen by accident.
