Meet Michelle
A Balanced, Student-Centered Approach
College admissions is not about finding a single “right” school, it’s about building a list that reflects academic readiness, institutional priorities, and personal fit. My role is to help students present themselves coherently and confidently, while helping families stay grounded throughout a process that can otherwise become overwhelming.
With over 15 years experience in both high school counseling and college admissions in Westchester County, New York, I am uniquely qualified to help students build a strategic, balanced application plan that reduces stress and maximizes fit.
Who I Work Best With
I typically work with families who:
Have academically capable students who feel overwhelmed by the process
Want a clear plan and structured timeline
Are applying to a range of competitive colleges
Value calm, proactive guidance over last-minute scrambling
Students with complex stories (transfers, ADHD, non-linear paths, niche passions)
This may not be the right fit for families who:
Are looking for last-minute or emergency-only support
Prefer a highly aggressive or rankings-only approach
Please note that I do not work with students from the Somers Central School District due to my professional role.
Next Steps
I offer a limited number of introductory consultations.
These conversations are designed to assess fit, clarify priorities, and determine whether structured guidance would be beneficial.
Consultations are informational and not a commitment.
