ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Katie, and if you've come across my page, chances are you're looking for help with the overwhelm of the college admissions process.

I'm so glad you're here! 

Let me tell you a little about myself. 

I am a former high school counselor with experience helping over 200 students apply to colleges and universities. I have been in public education for over 15 years - I am now a middle school guidance counselor and I also have previous experience as an English teacher, which is why I love helping my students write their college essay! I am a NY State Certified School Counselor, a Certified Professional Coach, and I work with students in Grades 9-12 to provide help with the college admissions process.

My Motto: Getting In Without Burning Out

I take a unique and supportive approach to working with all of my clients: with my additional experience and background as a life coach, yoga instructor, and meditation teacher, I weave my extensive knowledge of stress management, coping skills, and wellness into all of the college admissions coaching that I do. I take a caring and empathetic approach to navigating this difficult and overwhelming process, and I teach my students how to handle the stress, get organized, and focus on their well-being, while also meeting deadlines and reaching their goals.
