Testimonials

“Jess's knowledge and support were invaluable in the college search and application process. I really appreciated Jess’s guidance during all phases of the college discovery process and for the additional help in course selection and suggested summer opportunities during my student's junior and senior high school years. I am very grateful for all the time Jess took in making sure my daughter’s essays and applications were the best they could be. 

Jess took my daughter on as if she was her own student applying for college, which underscores how remarkable it was working with Jess.”

I can't recommend Jessica enough as a college counselor. She helped our daughter navigate what has become (at least compared to what I experienced years ago) a very complex process. She is thoughtful, strategic, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. It can be a stressful experience, both for parents and students, and she has helped us remain focused and calm. If you are looking for a college coach who will help your family through this process (and occasionally even enjoy it!), I highly recommend Jessica.

“The college application process has been exciting and a bit scary. But thanks to you, I knew that, throughout it all, I was in good hands. You were always there to guide me through every step of the way and I cannot imagine being accepted to Harvard if it wasn’t for you! I appreciate all of your amazing insight.”

“Thank you so, so much for everything you’ve done to help me through the college process. I really couldn’t have made it without your help. I was accepted into three of my top colleges and got scholarship money by all. I am so excited about attending college next year.”

I had the privilege of working with Jess when she covered a medical leave for a colleague in our office (College & Career Center). Jess stepped into our office at a VERY busy and stressful time- the start of the school year AND working with seniors-many of whom apply early action/early decision. I was quite nervous when I found out we had a sub starting- feeling overwhelmed at the thought of onboarding someone quickly, training them, answering questions etc. It was the most amazing surprise/gift to have that person be Jess- she jumped right in and within 30 minutes of being in the building, she began meeting with students. She is incredibly knowledgeable and confident, and did an amazing job meeting every student where they were at and with enthusiasm. Within days, I found myself going to Jess for professional opinions on student's applications and bouncing different ideas off of her. Working with Jess was a pleasure and I'm sure students felt the same way!
