Meet Your College Admissions Expert
Hi, I’m Kiersten!
For over 20 years, I’ve worked as a College Admissions Expert—reading thousands of applications and guiding students toward their college dreams. I know what makes an application stand out, and I’m passionate about helping students navigate this often hidden and overwhelming process.
After years of watching private consulting companies charge tens of thousands of dollars to dole out college application advice to wealthy families, my mission soon became to make expert college admissions guidance accessible to all students—not just those who can afford it.
Whether you're applying to an Ivy League school or a local university, I’m here to help you put together an application that reflects your strengths and opens doors, without a hefty pricetag.
Let’s take the stress and inequity out of the process—and put the power back in your hands.
Let’s build your best application—together.
