My Story

I started out as a parent of a gifted child.  That's when my interest in college counseling was aroused and I did my UCLA certificate in college counseling.  After my graduation, I have been working extensively with students to provide college admissions counseling services and my vision is to help provide affordable honest college admissions counseling to all students.  I have worked with students to provide personality assessments, high school course advising, preparation of college lists, college essay guidance and college application reviews. 

I already have a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering and a double master's in information systems and Computer Science and over 16 years of experience in the field of Computer Science. I work closely with students interested in STEM and my STEM background helps me provide valuable guidance for students applying to STEM majors.   

For students in freshman and sophomore year, I provide guidance on high school course selection and based on their interests, provide suggestions for special programs to further their interest or enhance their extracurricular activities.  

I work with juniors to identify their interests and prepare a comprehensive list of colleges that match the student's profile and interests.   

 I work with seniors in the fall to provide guidance with both college applications and college essays.  I am also a public speaking champion with multiple winning speeches under my belt for international and humorous speech contests. In the past, I have worked extensively with teenagers interested in public speaking through gavel clubs within the Toastmasters organization and I have mentored many students to write winning speeches.   Now I conduct group essay workshops to guide students on how to select topics for essays and use writing strategies like storytelling and rhetorical devices to enhance their essays.  I also conduct group college application workshops to help students fill out the college application with interesting and relevant details so that their applications are complete and thorough with minimal mistakes.
