The Path Forward
Jackie wants parents to have the best results for their child. She recognizes that some parents may want to start the process very early with a comprehensive plan, while others are only looking for counseling beginning in their child’s senior year. Particularly because of the pandemic, with the lack of access to each school’s guidance office, Jackie acknowledges that students may have different needs with their own timeline. Jackie offers flexibility for families with a range of packages. Jackie encourages families to reach out to her for a free consultation either through phone or email to create the package that works best for both parent and child.
Educational Mission
Jackie is a student-centered counselor who supports the practice of helping students choose the college that fits them best. Whether that fit is academic, based on major or potential career choice, geographic, cultural, social, activities-based, learning style, or financial need, she ensures that students will have a range of colleges from which to choose. Never using a cookie-cutter approach, she personalizes every student’s individual college search. Jackie encourages each student to become a self-reflective advocate to achieve his/her best results. Although the college process can be filled with anxiety, Jackie’s goal is to set achievable tasks, thereby engendering self-confidence, self-empowerment, and a positive experience.
