Part-Time VA

About the Company & Mission:
Everyone deserves a life-changing education.

We believe people need help to tell their stories, particularly in applications to higher education. Not being able to tell their story, they lose opportunities and, as a result, have a life that is less than what they deserve. Admission to a top-ranked university can empower them to actualize their dreams.

We are a boutique firm that coaches prospective students of diverse backgrounds to navigate graduate and professional school admissions applications at top-tier institutions. We provide customized, one-on-one admissions coaching because we believe that admission is possible with the right story, character, and experiences. When applicants are admitted to the right education program, they are on the path toward gaining the skills that positively impact their lives, communities, and the world.
