Everyone Else Seems to Have a Plan

You Can, Too.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you're trying to choose a college, start a career, or consider a professional change. Too many options—and maybe some doubts— fill your mind. Knowing where to start and how to move forward can feel impossible.

If you feel this way, you aren’t alone.

A student I worked with captured this feeling perfectly two weeks before high school graduation:
"It seems like everyone else has a plan... except me."

That’s where I come in.

With over 25 years of experience guiding academic and career transitions, I help students and adults move from uncertainty to concrete action.

Through concierge-style consulting, I start with your exact needs and goals—no cookie-cutter packages. My process is simple and straightforward: Together, we create tangible steps, build a personalized timeline, and develop clear deliverables. I research your options, map out realistic pathways, and organize everything you need. You’ll leave with a clear, customized action plan.

You don’t have to figure out your next steps alone.

You just need a starting point and a plan tailored for you.
