About The Way In
The Mission
Together, we find schools that fit who you are, authentically, consistent with your core values and character. In a process where little is in your direct control, I strive to leverage what is truly in your own power– identifying your passions, values, and communicating those in an impactful way.
Guiding Principles
Get to know you beyond your transcript and resume
Help you develop essays that bring you to life
Put you in a position to have choices, not have them made for you
