Athletic Recruiting
As the head athletic liaison at a D-1 institution, and a former college athlete, I have in-depth understanding of the complicated recruiting process for athletes. I conducted pre-read evaluations, communicated regularly with the college coaches, and represented athletic needs to the admissions committee.
Professionalism
I actively participate in several professional organizations, staying engaged with the latest trends and best practices. I regularly visit schools to stay informed about campus environments. I also serve as an adjunct application reader, ensuring I remain up-to-date with evolving admissions practices.
What Clients Say
"Working with Emma has been life-changing. Navigating the college process is very daunting for a parent and stress-inducing for kids. Emma eliminated all of that! She is extremely experienced as a college counselor and a parent. She's able to provide thorough and detailed responses to parents' questions and communicate with the kids in a manner that resonates with them. Both my son and daughter felt a great rapport with Emma, and I was so impressed by their essays, which resulted from their working together with minimal involvement from me. She also helped them navigate to the right school for each of them. I referred Emma to multiple family members and friends and think she is simply the best."
