Testimonials
"Kimberley was truly a savior when it came to college essays and the application overall. She pointed out aspects of the application which AOs consider that any student would think they brush over. The knowledge she has in what AOs are actually looking for is concrete given her experience compared to the guess work other counselors play when it comes to how applications are reviewed. I don't think I would have had the college outcomes my freshman self could only dream of if it wasn't for Kimberley."

"I was lucky enough to work with Kimberley at Northwestern University and to witness her professionalism, expertise, compassion, and deep knowledge of the admissions landscape. Kimberley's experiences at highly selective universities have given her an incredible perspective for anyone going through the application process. Not only has she been in the room for admissions committees and decisions, but she has actually driven reading/review strategy, giving her even deeper insight into how schools think
