WHO I WORK WITH
The student with more to offer than their transcript
Engineering, business, pre-med, arts, and everything in between. Students headed to Ivies, public research universities, selective liberal arts colleges, and specialty programs - all of it.
The family that wants a real strategic partner
Not a service that hands you a list of schools and a template. A counselor who actually knows your student and is invested in the outcome.
The competitive sailor navigating two processes at once
Sailing opens doors. The community is small, the connections are real, and the sport gives you a genuine edge - if you approach it with intention.
WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING

"She helped me frame my accomplishments and articulate what I was looking to get out of each college. Thanks to her, I scored some unbelievable acceptances."

"Before working with Nikki I was extremely disorganized and had low grades. Ever since, my grades have improved significantly — and so has my ability to stay on top of everything."
JT - HS student, executive function coaching
Hi, I'm Nikki
I help students figure out who they are - so they can figure out where they're going. My background is in environmental science and education, which means I think in systems, ask a lot of questions, and don't believe in one-size-fits-all anything.
