College Planning Help

You are beginning an exciting time in your life! As a student you are looking forward to spreading your wings and discovering more about what life has to offer. As a parent you are hopeful about launching your child from the foundation of home into the vast opportunities of his or her future. In my role as a college counselor it is a privilege to work with students and their families, helping them explore options and plan for their futures. Since 1994 I have been counseling students on the college process and I love what I do. Helping students identify their talents, strengths and passions and transferring this knowledge to their college search allows me to guide students to their "best fit" colleges or post-secondary placement. As a college counselor I am able to focus specifically with the student on their academic progress and guide them through the process of college preparation, college research, application and selection. My goal is to help students find schools that are the best fit for them, guiding and coaching them through their process. I devote time and resources visiting college campuses to keep up-to-date about colleges and their admission practices. I attend professional conferences annually including those sponsored by NACAC, HECA & PNACAC. My professional affiliations include memberships in: National Association for College Admission Counseling (Member Relations Committee Member 2014-2017); Higher Education Consultants Association (President 2008); Pacific Northwest Association for College Admission Counseling (Membership Chair 2002 - 2005); Learning Disabilities Association of Washington.
