About
I help students and families navigate the college admissions process, from building a balanced college list to completing applications and writing personal statements and supplemental essays. Whether you're looking for comprehensive college counseling or last-minute essay and application support, I provide personalized, hands-on guidance to help students put their best foot forward. Based in Los Angeles, I work virtually with students and families nationwide. I hold a Professional Certificate in Independent Educational Consulting from UC Irvine, belong to IECA and HECA, and have completed additional training through College Essay Guy. I work closely with students to brainstorm, develop, and refine their personal statements and supplemental essays, helping them tell their stories in their own voices. I also help families find colleges that fit students academically, socially, financially, and professionally. My 18 years of experience as an executive recruiter also gives me a perspective on how college choices connect to future career opportunities. Through Laser Pathways, I offer comprehensive college admissions counseling, application and essay coaching, hourly consulting, early high school planning, and career guidance. My goal is to help students discover their strengths, tell their stories authentically, and find colleges where they can thrive. At Laser Pathways, I help students find their superpowers.

Laura is amazing - she coached our son through an interview process with care, really taking the time to understand his needs and the requirements of the job. It served him well; he was offered a position! Getting professional help is helping him be a professional, too. Thanks for the great coaching, Laura!
