College Planning Support for Every Stage from 8th through 12th Grade.

The high school years involve far more than applications  and deadlines.

We'll work together to move confidently through the colege planning and application process with less stress and conflict, and more organization, clarity, and support.

 

A more thoughtful and individualized approach to college planning.

No two students begin the process in the same place.

My role is to provide guidance that meets students where they are while helping them build the skills, experiences, organization, and confidence needed for the next stage.

The experience is collaborative, personalized, and designed to support both students and families.

Personalized Guidance

Support tailored to each student's strengths, goals, personality, and pace.

Ongoing Communication

Thoughtful support and guidance throughout every stage of the process.

Long-Term Perspective

The goal is not simply admissions outcomes; it is helping students move toward futures that genuinely fit who they are. 

Guidance designed for every stage of high school.

The needs of students naturally evolve throughout high school, which is why support is tailored to each student's stage of the journey.

8th & 9th Grade

Support focused on building strong foundations, developing confidence, exploring interests, and helping students transition into high school thoughtfully and intentionally.

11th Grade 

Comprehensive support during one of the most active stages of the process, including college research, applications, testing plans, essays, and timelines.

10th Grade

Coaching on academic planning, extracurricular development, summer opportunities, career exploration, and helping students begin shaping future direction more intentionally.

12th Grade

Applications, essay support, organizational tools, and ongoing support to help senior year feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Wondering How to Start the Process?

Step 1: Book a Discovery Call

We begin with a short, parent only Discovery Call to discuss your needs, my services, and how I can help.

Step 2: Determining the Plan

Together we'll determine what services will work best for you, or develop your own unique plan.

Step 3: Work Begins

Once services are agreed upon, I'll send you an agreement, then your student and I will begin the process.

Helping students find the right fit.

Students I've worked with have been accepted to colleges and universities across the country.  My focus is always to help students identify environments where they can grow, thrive, and feel supported.

What families often value most.

Families frequently share that the most valuable part of the process is not simply admissions outcomes, but feeling supported, informed, organized, and less overwhelmed throughout the journey.  I take care of the details, timelines, and requirements, allowing parents to enjoy being the parent.

"Michele helped our daughter feel calmer, more confident, and far more organized throughout the process. We always appreciated her thoughtful guidance, communication, and ability to make everything feel manageable."  - Parent

The Best Place to Start is a Conversation

Whether your family is planning years in advance or already feeling overwhelmed by applications, deadlines, or uncertaintly about what comes next, a Discovery Call is a calm, low-pressure place to begin.
