Team ROOT

Who, What, Where are We?

WHO WE ARE

We are: Rooted. When our families are grounded in the realities of college admission, there are no surprises. We focus on considering colleges, showcasing skills, and staying ahead of the process. Our experience allows us to anticipate scenarios and prepare families for every possible facet of the college application experience.

WHAT OUR FAMILIES SAY

She did a great job helping my son highlight his strengths and making sure his application and essays truly reflected who he is. He applied to some difficult schools/programs and she was DEFINITELY instrumental in his successful results.

Parent of a University of Michigan Ross School of Business student

She is the perfect blend of thoughtful, organized, fun, savvy, creative, honest, really nice and super smart. She kept the process on track yet was also conscientious about keeping everything in proper perspective and low stress for my daughter. She was so great for my first child (and me!), I hired her for my younger children. Her insight and perspective are indispensable.

Parent of students at Brown, Notre Dame, and Barnard

From our first meeting, we felt as if we were in safe hands. Her advice was invaluable. She took the time to get to know our daughter - connected with her very quickly and understood the sort of school that would be a good fit. She took much of the stress out of an overwhelming situation.

Parent of a Johns Hopkins University student

Her insight, professionalism, experience, attention, and guidance was invaluable… She took time with my son, from late night emails reviewing essays, mid day weekend meetings providing clarity on specific college requirements and the cherry on top: She treated us like FAMILY!! I cannot imagine being on this journey without her.

Parent of a University of Michigan Kinesiology student

She really listened to my daughter and honed in on her unique learning style and personality. I love that she focused on finding colleges where my daughter would not only be academically challenged but also content and happy.
