"As an independent college counselor, I bring a wealth of experience in admissions and academic advising. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling and College Student Personnel from California Lutheran University in 2022 and have been working in higher education since 2020. My background includes experience at both the community college level and the private 4-year university level. Currently, I work at Pepperdine University Graziadio Business School, where I continue to refine my transfer and admission skills. I have successfully helped private students gain admission to top schools such as UCLA, UCSB, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine. Known for my patience and in-depth knowledge of the college world, I am dedicated to guiding students through the admissions process. I frequently attend college counseling conferences to stay updated on the latest trends and best practices. Committed to appreciating diversity, I excel in communication, and I have a strong ability to listen and empathize with all students." less...
