Prior to working with Maria, I didn’t know how much I didn’t know about the college admissions process! Working with Maria was invaluable in supporting my child throughout the college selection and admissions process. Her knowledge of both secondary and higher education options was thorough. Maria ensured that my child ended up finding and being admitted to the appropriate fit. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and attention to detail.
