As a proven college admissions consultant, I provide expert guidance on college applications and college essays, course planning, standardized test (ACT and SAT) planning, college list creation including financial aid/merit aid/scholarship considerations, as well as career planning/resume development and interview prep.

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), with a Master’s Degree in School Counseling, and proven results as an independent college admissions counselor. With 20+ years of training and professional experience, I have enjoyed multiple roles in the field, including evaluating applications and essays for a research university's undergraduate admissions office; training in college counseling at the Harvard Summer Institute on College Admissions; serving as a guidance counselor at a large DC public high school; and, coaching for College Summit, a national nonprofit that offers mentoring for students who are the first in their families to attend college.

I have advised students who have been accepted to the most selective colleges, including Ivy League universities, leading liberal arts colleges and research universities.

Students tell me that I am creative, strategic and supportive. I have recently experienced this process with my oldest child; I now know firsthand the many benefits of receiving empathetic guidance as your family navigates the college admissions process.

Insightful, Knowledgeable and Caring Educational Counselor

We have been working with Susannah on a number of occasions for help with boarding school admissions essays and course selection so far. She is very insightful and I have always learned so much from her. With her help on my son's essays, we have gained admission to his first choice boarding school. She has always been prepared for our meetings and makes sure to followup. We feel grateful to have found her!

Very knowledgeable and efficient

Susannah showed my parents and I a plethora of helpful information regarding admissions, as well as what specific aspects of my application I should focus on. She was very knowledgeable not only on admissions into specific colleges, but even admission into my desired major at those colleges. Additionally, Susannah pointed me towards several very helpful resources which helped me gain more perspective on where I fall as an applicant, in comparison to my peers. My parents and I would recommend Susannah over any counselor I have we with, even after just one session.

Helpful and Supportive!

Susannah helped me through every step of my CommonApp submission. I came to her lost and at a crossroads of what I should do. I left Susannah with an amazing essay and a clear path of action for what I should do now. She helped me every step of the way and the process was made super simple and much less overwhelming. Thanks for all your help!

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor

She really helped me understand what it takes to make great essays, and she guided me through the brainstorming phase. Having another set of eyes on my work really helped!

Helpful and Informative

As a junior applying to college next year, Susannah helped me understand the logistics and process in which colleges accept students. I was also able to plan ahead and decide when to write my college essays, build my resume, and take my standardized tests. Susannah is very resourceful and has many documents she is willing to share in order to give insight to the college admissions process.

Knowledgeable and Insightful

I worked with Susannah to draft my Cornell and Brown supplemental essays. She's extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in the college application process. Susannah gave me recommendations and tips that were backed up with elaborate explanations as to why I should follow them. I would definitely go to her for any questions that needed to be clarified. I'm impressed by her suggestions so far and I hope she'll continue to advise me further.
