College students in class

Welcome, I’m Gail, expert college consultant helping students thrive in the admissions journey.

As a dedicated college consultant based in California, I support students across the U.S. with tailored guidance on everything from building college lists to preparing strong applications. My approach is calm, clear, and designed to help each student feel supported and confident.

I became a college advisor because I enjoy everything about college! From collecting sweatshirts to college sports to taking classes that continue to challenge me, I am always eager to learn all I can about the college world. Helping students find their path is not just a job - it’s my dream job, and I’d be honored to support your journey.
