Approach

My approach is low-key and student-focused. 

This is a time of discovery. While students do need to focus on the tasks of college applications (forms to be filled out, essays to be written, deadlines to be met), I think the most interesting outcome of the college application process is the self-knowledge that students develop along the way. 

It can be challenging to talk out loud (or in text) about things that really matter to you. But it’s well worth taking time to think, explore, ask yourself questions, find connections you hadn’t seen before, and in general, push yourself to new levels of understanding and self-awareness.
