In the 31 years I have worked in the Santa Barbara area as an
independent educational consultant I have been dedicated to help facilitate the
right academic, social, and cultural "fit" for the more than 1,200
students. I deeply understand parents want their children to be successful in
college and in life. My goal is to help each of my students enroll in a college
where they can find that success. While many do attend elite colleges, just as
many have discovered great success at lesser known, but highly regarded
colleges. I have visited and evaluated hundreds of academic institutions
throughout the United States and abroad in order to thoroughly understand the
scope of what each offers, and to be better able to help students and families
appreciate their options.
My
membership in professional organizations such as The Independent Educational
Consultants Association, (IECA), Western Association of College Admission
Counselors, (WACAC), National Association of College Admissions Counselors
(NANAC), and as a Certified Educational Planner (CEP) ensure that the highest
standards are maintained.
I still
recall a colleague’s comment “The name of the college you attend does not
define you as a person." And my experience has proven this to be true! The
name of the college you graduate from will not insure your future happiness or
success.
