Renee (she/her), Senior College Counselor, has spent over 30 years navigating college admissions, including the last 6 years as one of the original College Essay Guy counselors. She has worked with students applying to colleges across the United States (and abroad) and loves diving into research to support students’ niche interests and high-achieving goals. She uses the knowledge she’s gained from touring over 200+ college campuses in the US, Canada, and the UK to guide students toward colleges that best fit their aspirations. She helps students understand what their college priorities are and infuses fun and laughter along the way. Renee’s extensive tenure working in high schools, coupled with her leadership roles with NACAC (Capitol Hill advocacy), SACAC (state initiatives), and the Common App Advisory Board, position her to advise students to maximize their potential while understanding the national landscape of admissions. She has advised students pursuing college athletics, performing arts programs, and military academies, as well as most academic disciplines. Her students have been accepted at a wide range of colleges, including many of the most highly selective colleges in the country (T50 USNWR), the Ivy League, HBCU’s, and top ranked liberal arts colleges. In recent years, her students have been admitted to Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, MIT, NYU, Wellesley, Northeastern, Barnard, all UC campuses, University of Michigan, Davidson, Brown, USC, Smith, Stanford, Swarthmore, U Chicago, UGA, Ga Tech, Vanderbilt, UIUC, University of Washington, Scripps, Carnegie Mellon, UNC-Chapel Hill, Wash U, UT Austin, UVA, Wake Forest, Duke, Northeastern and countless others. When she’s not planning her next college tour, Renee is likely tending to her garden, doting on her favorite dog, Pretzel, and plotting her next travel adventure.
