FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I like to talk together first, on Zoom or the phone, to have a consultation to find out your needs and concerns, and what type of payment arrangement you are comfortable with. We'll find a good solution for your situation. The bottom line is my fee will be reasonable and less than big consulting operations, but provide much more personalized, close attention to your college-bound child.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, you and I will either meet or speak on Zoom/the phone about what you feel you need, what your goal is, ask any questions, and get comfortable with each other. It's important to do this so we both understand exactly what you want and the best way to proceed. Then, we'll work closely together, like a team, to achieve your goals. I look forward to speaking with you about what you need and helping you succeed. Please feel free to email or call any time.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an Ivy League (Brown) and legal (Emory) education , with 30+ years of college admissions/business/marketing/legal affairs experience. At Brown, I worked in the Admission Office all four years, made life-long Admission Officer (AO) friends, learned the process & know what AOs like to see. Your student's essays will be compelling and valued by AOs. I've learned to use words effectively to help clients, businesses, students achieve, as well as to create numerous business ventures and writing business proposals, agreements, marketing and PR materials. I ran the Brown Alumni Assoc. of Southern California (the school's largest) for twelve years, dealing with admissions regularly and thousands of alumni for Brown/other Ivies-Seven Sister schools, including writing/marketing/publishing all its communications and media. I created the "Ivy League Education Bank," a tutorial service for underprivileged children, and have mentored/taught hundreds of people, from 12 -52, with their speaking, writings, resumes, college/job applications, emails/papers, proposals, life plans, and strategy for business or activities.
