As a college counseling professional and mother of three children, Valerie understands how overwhelming the college admission process can be. For the past twelve years, she has helped guide hundreds of students and parents through the college admission process. Her students have been admitted to institutions that fit their career aspirations, intellectual ability, and personalities: from large, competitive public universities to smaller elite liberal arts colleges, including all the Ivies. However, she defines real success as connecting with her students as individuals, revealing what makes them unique, and helping them understand and believe in themselves. Her greatest passion is to help young adults communicate who they are and what makes them unique through their college admission packages and interview opportunities.
