A great plan is more than a sequence of steps—it’s a framework of experience, information, and care. At Rosecliff College Consulting, I partner with families to build a college path that reflects each student’s strengths, priorities, and story...so their potential can take flight.  

How I Approach the Work

My approach begins by centering the student, because every meaningful decision grows from a clear understanding of who the student is and what matters most to them.

​

From there, I bring a systems-level view to our work. The college process is embedded within the broader high school experience—and shaped by institutional priorities, national trends, regional differences, and evolving expectations. I teach families how the system works so decisions are grounded in reality rather than guesswork or pressure.

​

Together, we align the student’s goals with the system of admissions. We build an overall strategy—consider opportunities, acknowledge and work within both personal and structural constraints, and thoughtfully evaluate tradeoffs along the way.

The final dimension of the work is helping students articulate their story—the throughlines of engagement, contribution, and growth that demonstrate authentic alignment with college communities.

While the process includes many tangible tasks, the deeper work is about helping students understand how decisions are made within a complex system—learning how to research, think, weigh tradeoffs, and communicate with intention. This approach turns the admissions process into one families can move through with confidence.
