About your counselor

Hi, I'm Antonia.

I'm currently a student at Columbia University, and I was personally admitted to Columbia, Cornell, NYU, the University of Michigan, McGill University, and the University of Toronto.

I started this practice because I remember exactly how overwhelming the application process felt — and how much of a difference it made to have someone in my corner who understood it firsthand. I work with students on everything from building a college list to polishing a final essay draft, with guidance that is current, practical, and personal. My goal is to help each student present their own strengths and story as clearly as possible.

Questions

Frequently asked

Who do you work with?

I work with high-school students at different stages of the college process, including students who are just beginning to build a list and seniors preparing applications.

Is the first call really free?

Yes. The first 15-minute call is simply a chance to understand what you need, answer initial questions, and see whether we're a good fit.

Do you guarantee admission?

No. No counselor can guarantee admission. The goal is to help you make informed choices and present your strongest, most authentic application.

Can I book just one session?

Absolutely. You can start with a single $65 session and decide later whether ongoing support would be useful.
