“During one of the most challenging and stressful times of my high school career, Alison kept me calm and collected throughout my college process. Her persistence and attitude towards getting things done allowed me to not only gain acceptance to my dream school, but also obtain skills I will have for the rest of my life. Alison is kind, trusting, and wildly intelligent - anyone would be more than lucky to work with her. I know I will always be grateful for my experience!”

“Alison helped us navigate the college process for our oldest child and served as a cheerleader (for our daughter), a gentle "college admissions educator" (for parents unfamiliar with the current admissions landscape), a detail-oriented project manager (ensuring the countless applications/forms etc. were submitted on time and without error), a creative and insightful resource (recommending extracurricular programs and, most importantly, colleges aligned with our daughter's interests), and a trusted confidante for all of us. She built a strong, genuine relationship with our daughter (and us) while fostering and supporting her independence during her junior and senior years. Alison's optimism, kindness, and authentic desire to befriend and lead her clients through this turbulent process are the qualities that set her apart.”

“The college admissions process is confusing enough without adding the international front to it. Alison helped us through the process in the United States and Europe, all the while making it enjoyable and not stressful. We are so grateful to Alison for her passion and organized demeanor; she truly cares about her students and we would never have succeeded without her help.”

“Alison’s patient and persistent approach makes her likable and effective at what she does. My daughter entered the college process following a year of challenging health issues. Alison gracefully picked up the pieces and steered her to eventual admission at her first-choice school. The process was not defined by anxiety or contention but rather reflection, growth, and action that left my daughter a stronger student and person in the end. Alison empowered our daughter with research, organization, and time management skills that fed into thoughtful school selections, powerful essays, and a revelation of my daughter’s gifts that she herself was not aware she had! My junior in high school will be joining Alison this year. We can’t wait to see what happens next!”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful experience our son had with you through this process. We appreciate your excellent communication, calm approach, and thoughtful guidance in helping him find schools that are the best fit for him.”

“Alison helped me explore and apply to a wide range of schools. I am excited about my acceptance to a competitive biology program. I can truly say that none of it would have been possible without her help and I am forever grateful.”
