Q + A with Danielle
Why did I decide to choose this career after a successful career in law?
After helping my daughter through the college application process seven years ago, I realized that I wanted to guide other students through this important time in their lives. Each student is unique and I love helping them discover who they are and what is important to them. I am proud of my students as they develop confidence, discover their voice and share their authentic selves in their college applications.
What do I like best about working with students?
I love to help students find what makes them truly happy and fulfilled. Finding the best match school for each student is both motivating and rewarding for me. Staying in touch with students after their college acceptances and knowing they are thriving and happy at college has been a gift.
