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

How I Approach the Work

My approach begins by centering the student—their values, strengths, interests, and goals—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 the college process. College admissions is not a standalone process; it's embedded within the broader high school experience and shaped by institutional priorities, national trends, regional differences, and evolving expectations. I teach families how this 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.

Together, this approach turns a complex admissions system into one families can move through with confidence.

What This Looks Like in Practice

With priorities clarified, we map academics, activities, and opportunities in ways that support growth and purpose. Students learn to make intentional choices about how they spend their time and energy.
