My daughter had chosen colleges that her within her reach, but was hesitant to explore more challenging “stretch” schools.  We wanted to be sure we weren’t “missing something” and working with Valerie enabled us to conduct a more mindful college search. We trusted Valerie’s extensive experience and depth of knowledge, but what really made it such a great experience was the way Valerie connected so readily with my daughter, who looked forward to their meetings and even described them as “fun”!  Valerie also helped my daughter explore career options that she might not have considered.
