Taming the chaos, turning down the noise, and helping students be more successful in the college admissions process.

If the thought of dragging (or nagging) your student through the college application process fills you with dread, I’m here to help. As a college admissions coach, my primary goal is to reduce overwhelm and help students optimize every piece of their application to get the results they want.

Your student is unique. College admissions is not just about grades, rigor, and test scores. It’s also about presenting a compelling, truthful narrative throughout the application that captures that uniqueness so they can stand out and get into the best college for them –a college where they will thrive.

But before that, it’s about getting to know and understand your student so that we can create an individualized, step-by-step strategic roadmap tailored to capitalize on their strengths and interests in order to set them up to succeed.

The result is a calmer, less stressful, and more successful college application experience for both students and parents.

Guide

My intentional hands-on approach provides students with the resources, guidance, and motivation necessary to navigate the college admissions process confidently and successfully. This begins with thoroughly assessing their interests, aptitudes, and academic history, and then strategically working with them to create a game plan that optimizes their chances of getting into a school where they can thrive.

Support

Throughout the process, I focus on encouragement, empathy, and accountability. By following a tailored, step-by-step process, students know exactly what they need to do and when. This helps reduce overwhelm and stress, and ensures all deadlines are met. I meet students where they are, supporting them while encouraging autonomy and action. My goal is to provide honest feedback that helps them grow and succeed.

Empower

I empower my students and their families with the knowledge and strategies they need to be admitted to the best college or university for them. At every step, from class selection and extracurricular involvement to essay writing, students receive expert guidance to capitalize on their strengths, present the strongest application possible, and come out of the process feeling good about their results.

I’m here to help your student present
the strongest possible application

Our son was an above-average student in high school, but we needed an admissions advisor who could showcase his achievements beyond academics. We had previously hired another advisor, but their approach was too generic and lacked the individual attention our son needed. Emmanuelle, however, was there every step of the way. Her expertise and dedication played a crucial role in helping him get into the college that’s the perfect fit for him. We would choose her a million times over!
Candice B., Raleigh, NC

Emmanuelle’s knowledge of the admissions process has calmed my nerves many times! She is always available, and she knows her stuff, and I mean all of it. I have been thoroughly impressed with her suggested college list, vast knowledge of multiple schools’ inner workings and student-life cultures, access to scholarships, and personal and supplemental essay guidance. Aside from blogs and books about the subject, Emmanuelle has been our best resource in the college search and application process!

Tracy G., Michigan
Ms. Emmanuelle approaches her work with kindness and an unwavering commitment to her students success. What sets Ms. Emmanuelle apart is her ability to inspire and uplift. She doesn’t simply offer advice, she helps students uncover their own potential and chart a path forward with confidence. Her care, patience, and expertise make her an incredible asset to any student preparing for college.
Roz B. ECU Brinkley Lane Scholar, Raleigh, NC

Thanks to Emmanuelle’s guidance, encouragement, and support, both of my twins were accepted into several of their top college choices. Emmanuelle helped them highlight their strengths and accomplishments in a genuine way, and I felt informed, confident, and supported throughout the entire process. I am so grateful for Emmanuelle’s dedication, and I highly recommend her to any family looking for a supportive, compassionate, and knowledgeable college consultant.

Karen K., Raleigh, NC
Emmanuelle’s guidance during my stressful college application season was extremely helpful. The depth of her knowledge on the strengths of various colleges helped me apply to school’s that suited my unique goals and talents. She does a wonderful job at adapting to meet the needs of her students while still being supportive to get strong applications in. Undergrad application season only comes around once for most students and I would recommend her anyone that wants to ensure they make the most of it!
