Introduction
ACADEMIC ADMISSIONS: Hi. Take a breath... it's going to be OK. 🧭 To the dream-chasers, deadline-dodgers, and givers of care, extraordinaire. If you’re ready to turn chaos and confusion into clarity and confidence, look no further. I help my students slay the application process, and have fun doing it (yes, really!). Acceptance secured, smiles assured, and sanity preserved—welcome to the Dr. Bee way. 🖋️ Exceptional writing meets surgical editing. Dig deep, connect the dots, write with purpose, revise to perfection—that's the secret sauce! Ivy-bound achievers, apprehensive all-stars, or lower-GPA legends, it doesn't matter. I meet students where they are, no judgment. 🎯 We tackle the trenches together, focusing on incremental wins. Students receive one-on-one guidance, start to finish. In fact, there's not one application aspect I don't touch and refine. Everyone has a story to tell; final submissions reflect exactly that. 🧠 Non-linear mindset? I've got your back! PhD in psychology, here! I love supporting neurodivergent students—2e, ADHD, dyslexic, and on the spectrum learners, among others. No excuses; just strategy, structure, and success backed by years of education and training. 🎓 Top tier not in the cards? Transfer? Gap year? Challenges? No sweat! Think you're too late in the game? I say "Pshaw!" to that—you are right on time. And don't let anyone tell you differently; that's not helpful. 👑 Parent + student references available upon request. With a near-100% success rate, (though I have yet to hear of any unsuccessful results), many land at top schools including Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, NYU, UT Austin to name but a few. So, what do you say? Are you ready to get this party started? Remember, I'm only 1 person and slots fill quickly. While I do my best to accommodate, I refuse to sacrifice quality by taking on too many students per wave. Just imagine...one of the most stressful processes for both students and parents becomes seamless; student confidence skyrockets as I ignite self-efficacy, mastery, and resilience to infuse success through all life areas. Receiving one-on-one assistance from beginning to end, I'm also hands-on during the resume and essay writing process. Scope: undergraduate BA/BS (ED, EA, RD, rolling), transfer, JD, PhD, MD, DDS, MA/MS, (E)MBA, and specialty program applicants Cost: $5,400 and up discreet, responsive, and savvy I also customize pricing depending on how many schools, essays, etc. I deliver above and beyond for all of my clients. CAREER ADVANCEMENT: 🪜 Elevating careers to the next level. Drawing on two decades of experience, I expertly spotlight the true star of the show: you. 📊 Leverage metrics. Substantiate contributions. By exploring your background with intention during the interview—asking the right questions to reveal your core strengths—I craft a compelling and cohesive narrative, one that unmistakably highlights value-add. 🔍 Meticulous attention to detail. Single-handedly securing hundreds-of-millions of dollars in progressive pay raises, benefits, and promotions, my clients land prestigious roles across industries; they don’t settle, they break through. 🔥 More than financial gain. What sets my services apart? Tangible results. Intangible returns. Real empowerment. Clients walk away able to articulate their value, wielding confidence in voice to fuel career victories. 🪄 Proven track record of impact. Every project component is personally handled by yours truly, ensuring the highest level of expertise and dedication so your professional aspirations become reality—measurable results, meaningful change; win-win. 🛡️ As a bonus, you have a champion and coach in your back pocket for life! Cost: $1,800 and up, senior-level collaborative, intuitive, and bold ABOUT ME: 🟡 I have a vested interest in seamlessly ushering individuals to the next phase, whatever that may be. I care to care and have fun doing it. Helping people move forward while making the complex feel simple is my jam. A WORD ABOUT ENERGETIC EXCHANGE: 🟢 There is a big difference between price and value. CONSULTATION: 🟠 Out of respect for both of our time, please review my rates before reaching out. If you're not ready for a substantive conversation, I kindly ask that you refrain from contacting me, and wish you all the best moving forward. Make it a super every now, Rebecca Kovan, PhD (aka, Dr. Bee 🐝)

If I can choose all five options I would. Rebecca helped out a lot and I wouldn’t trade the world for connecting with her. Her work is outstanding and I’d recommend. My confidence on the applications definitely boosted and I will keep her updated! Even though there was a limited time crunch and with the upcoming holiday, the application deadline was met. She did extremely well and made sure I was updated along the way.

Rebecca is the best! I got early college admissions decision for Stanford University. I could not have done it without her. Her counseling skill is amazing. She alleviated my nervousness and actually made the process fun. Her writing skills, the best. I will be forever grateful!

Our family hired Rebecca to help my son finalize his college essays and to work on his resume. She responded quickly, worked with our busy schedule, and did the job promptly. After visiting with her on the phone, she set our minds at ease about the process. I can recommend her without hesitation. We plan to use her again in the future.

This review is long overdue as I waited to see what types of attention my resume would draw before I left a comment. Since Rebecca completed my resume in a quick and efficient manner, I have had numerous contact opportunities and interview offers since I started actively job searching with the new resume. My old resume was outdated and I received zero attention on my original resume that I created in college. Rebecca's work is impeccable and she deserves every bit of the 5 stars (and then some) that I gave her. The new resume has given me hope that I will find the perfect job more sooner than later. Thank you Rebecca!

Yay! Part of my job is accepting that I don't typically hear back from my clients, which means they have moved on to bigger and better careers. That said, it sure feels good to know I continue to deliver. Thanks for the confirmation. Best, Rebecca Job: Resume & Cover Letter, Training Coordinator / Program Manager
