“As a parent of high schoolers, approaching the college search and application process can be daunting, and especially so for a student. In my experience with Alex, who has worked with both of my children, she has demonstrated a perfect blend of professional and personal attention to each of us. She has such a unique gift of understanding and truly seeing each student for who they are. As a result, she he is able to listen, hear and guide in a very personal way. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process and carries a calming and confident presence that helps to empower her students. Alex is passionate and engaging and she has made the everything about the college process feel manageable. I could not be more grateful for the experiences we've had with her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing guidance at this stage.”

"Alex was the most helpful advisor when it comes to college and career advice. She helped me find my dream school. I never had the University of Arizona on my list for schools, but after she introduced it to me, I committed to it and I couldn't be happier with my choice."

“I was able to get through college and scholarship applications with Alex, and I don’t know how I would have done it without her. She played an instrumental role in time management and essay writing. Alex has a high level of expertise that ultimately helped me get into my dream college. While I often procrastinate, she kept me on track to meet all of my deadlines for college applications and scholarships. She was able to catch many critical mistakes on my application that I would have otherwise missed. Overall, Alex’s help was one of the only things that helped me get through such a frustrating process, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

"We are so grateful Alex came into our lives. The college journey can be an overwhelming undertaking for families, but she streamlined the process, while always making the time to listen, comfort, and advise us. She pushed my daughter out of her comfort zone, not only on her applications, but also on the schools she should consider. This helped my daughter not only trust her own intuition, but it gave her a new self confidence in her decision making that we had not witnessed before. Our daughter would not be on this path without her, and we are very fortunate to have had her help."

“Alex’s expertise, guidance, and encouragement have been incredibly crucial in helping me to navigate the complexities of the college admissions process, and I am deeply grateful for her efforts. Her commitment to helping students like me achieve their academic and personal goals is truly inspiring, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her. Her attention to detail, timely feedback, and willingness to go above and beyond have been extremely valuable in helping me throughout the application process, which truly reflects my strengths, interests, and aspirations. Her guidance and support have been critical to my success, and I could not have done it without her. I will always be grateful for her mentorship and the impact that you have had on my life and my college decisions.”
Student, Class of 2020
“My dream school since the start of my sophomore year of high school was USC, and when I received the email from them letting me know my acceptance, the first person I thanked was Alex. From the first day working with her, I immediately felt the trust and compassion she held for all her students, enough so that I had the confidence to open up about my back story. Attempting to translate my upbringing into a Common App essay felt impossible, but with the unparalleled support from her, we were able to translate it into a piece of writing that I believe gave me admission to USC. I can without a doubt say that I would not be where I am today if it were not for her incredible support."

When it came down to choosing my future college, she provided a lot of resources and support to make sure I was choosing a university that would help me achieve my goals.”

“Throughout my college application process, Alex has been a tremendous help. She excels at picking up on what students, myself personally, look for in a school and what attributes they seek in a community, and while working with many different students, she is still able to help reach each individual‘s needs and requests. Throughout this process, she has been very positive and encouraging! She has worked hard to set up a plan for me to comfortably go through this application process. She also shows great support and excitement for her students goals and successes!”
