“Skilled, supportive and knowledgeable.”

Monique has been a great help to our family during the college application process. She provided informed, experienced assistance every step of the way. Our son benefited from her guidance and support as he researched his list of schools and embarked on the application ordeal. She provided gentle organizational reminders and suggestions as he worked his way through the many steps. As parents, we were reassured that he could, with her help, navigate this process. We appreciated the occasional updates and newsletters. And all along, we knew he was in good capable hands.

We have already recommended Monique to friends and colleagues and have assured them that she is a skilled supportive knowledgeable professional and valuable consultant for students and their families.

"Working with Monique stopped my stress from weighing me down and I am beyond grateful I had her by my side."

I honestly do not know where I would be without Monique’s incredible guidance throughout my college application process. I began overwhelmed and uncertain, but Monique helped to direct me into a positive and organized mindset. She helped with narrowing down my list, my essays and supplements, and gave me schools to research that were reachable both academically and financially.

Monique has a calming presence about her. Whenever I walked into her office full of frantic questions, doubt and worry she would immediately help me one step at a time. Monique is one of the most organized people I have ever met and she helped me complete my applications early which was a major relief for me. One of my favorite things about working with Monique was her honesty. She was never afraid to tell me what she thought about my essays and helped me approach them with an open mind. She helped guide me to pick the perfect topic and prompt, and helped make it concise and polished within the word count.

Monique is extremely easy to work with. She helped me maximize my opportunities and choices - I couldn’t have done it all without her.

“Incredibly knowledgeable.”

Monique is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced college admissions counselor. I came to her as a community college student wishing to transfer. I started off very uncertain about what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it. I had trouble deciding on my major and choosing between east, west, public, private, small and large schools. Monique provided countless resources, narrowing down the academic and social environment that I wanted to be a part of. She knows the system, the schools, and the majors. I went through my high school’s counseling program as a senior and I worked with Monique as a college sophomore. No one but Monique gave me the attention and dedication I needed in one of the most pivotal and important processes of a young adult’s life.

"You made the college application process less stressful with your helpful guidance and direction."

Thank you so much for all your help and motivating me to get things done. I got into some really good schools and am super excited about where I’m going!! Without your help I am very confident that things wouldn’t have turned out as well as they did. I look forward to staying in touch with you!

“Thank you for your expert guidance.”

When we started the process our daughter had very little direction; you were wonderful in helping her think through her wants/needs. We were delighted in the success that she had with acceptances. You were extremely professional and a delight to work with. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for help with the college search and application process.

"I recommend Monique most highly!”

We are extremely grateful to Monique for all her knowledge and expertise throughout the college search and application process. For years, my husband and I repeated to one another that we each only applied at one or two colleges ourselves (all those decades ago), and that our parents didn’t need to help us at all, etc., etc. We discovered that it pretty much takes a professional to navigate the college selection and application process nowadays, especially if the student is seeking financial aid.
Monique assisted our son step-by-step, and was always prompt and thorough in her replies to any of our questions. She has a great deal of experience and wisdom, which were extremely beneficial to our son. Monique was the one to originally propose the fine school he eventually chose (from his seven acceptances). I recommend her most highly!
