I am a College Counselor<\/h2>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1621519525460{padding-top: 2% !important;}”]\n

I specialize in guidance for students in grades 8-12 for career planning and\u00a0college admissions to the US.<\/h3>\n
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1623243546825{padding-top: 2% !important;}”]I have spent a decade expanding my knowledge and understanding of the college admissions process honing my skills as a college counselor. Having lived both in India and the US as a parent, I understand the education system very well in both places and have a global perspective.<\/p>\n

I make a difference in my student’s lives and help them achieve their goals and dreams and walk alongside them in their journey. I strongly believe that my success lies in my students’ successes.<\/p>\n

I also teach my students life skills \u2013 how to cook a simple meal, manage finances, time management, and more.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” style=”full_text” delay=”150″]\n
