This class is taught in English.

Students will learn about a large variety of colleges throughout the USA, and occasionally, colleges abroad offering degrees taught in English.

I visit multiple colleges each year. I hold an Independent Education Consultant certificate from University of California Irvine, and I regularly take classes, attend info sessions, and participate in professional conferences to improve my skills in helping students evaluate and select colleges.  As an independent college counselor, I visit college campuses (both in-person and virtually) to learn as much as possible about each school. I am an Associate Member of IECA, the professional organization for independent education consultants, and I have also completed their one-week intense Summer Training Institute.

I have been assisting students specifically with applying to and starting college since 2014. I hold a B.A. in Sociology (minors in Spanish and English) and M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language, and I have worked as an advisor at a university for over five years (among other positions).   I've worked with students making education transitions (from a foreign high school to an American high school, from high school to college, and from college in home country to college in foreign country) since 2010 both through my professional career and through volunteering at two non-profit organizations in two states.
