Services and Fees
My Services
My hallmark is in-person, one-on-one attention from beginning to end. I work with a limited number of students during each admissions cycle so I will be there for you throughout the application and acceptance process.
I take pride in getting to know each student individually as we discuss college ideas, essay topics, extracurricular activities, testing, and the final big decision. Each student is unique, and an individualized approach is critical in today’s competitive landscape.
My Strategy
I work on an individual basis and meet every student where they are at in the process. Students beginning their junior year are at a different place than students in the fall of their senior year.
Some students don’t know where to start, and others are looking for application and essay help. (Well-crafted, unique essays are an art form -as an experienced lawyer and writer, this is one of my areas of expertise.)
General Categories of Services
Many students utilize my services on an as- needed basis and communicate with me freely and often through text or videochat. Other students readily admit that a schedule with deadlines works best. These are some of my services that students have come to rely on:

My Fees
Because I work by myself and for myself, I am free to work out fee arrangements that best accomplish your needs. There are pros and cons to hourly rate billing and flat rate billing. When I first started my business, I offered two flat rate billing packages and an hourly rate.
Many people preferred my hourly rate, which is currently $150 and which I bill to the tenth of the hour. I keep track of my time and present you an itemized bill once the applications are submitted.
I can also accommodate monthly billing and am happy to discuss flat rate billing as well.
