About
I personalize my approach to college planning, so that the client finds the college and program that will lead to their success.
I love working with parents and students and seeing them work together to come up with a plan and decide which college is the right fit for them. It is very satisfying to hear from parents and students how happy and successful students are after their first year of college.

We hired Sharon 2 years ago when my son was applying to colleges. She helped us with the financial aid part of the college process, specifically scholarship search. Sharon is a wealth of knowledge due to her experience working in college financial aid offices! A lot of financial services advertise that they can help you with this process but they have no idea what the colleges are looking for. No matter what part of the college planning you need help with, Sharon can help you.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices vary based on service. Tutoring services are a flat hourly rate, while college planning services are charged at either a flat hourly rate or by project.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My initial conversation with the client involves finding out what they want to accomplish. Then we work out a plan of action. When needed I help the client revise their plan to make it more realistic to better position them to achieve their goals and help them revise their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I regularly take advantage of industry webinars, workshops and conferences to stay current.
