AppMap is a subscription-based digital system that gives you a month-by-month roadmap to help your child get into college — without the stress, confusion, or overwhelm. It tells you exactly what to do (and when), sends you reminders, and includes expert video guidance, live Q&A, and tools trusted by families accepted to top schools like Stanford, NYU, and UCLA.

You can add multiple students under one account and we’ll generate separate timelines for each one — based on their grade, goals, and current status.

Yes — AppMap includes weekly live Q&A sessions with me personally, and I'm always adding new tools based on parent questions. You’re never on your own.

AppMap is built for parents of students in 8th–12th grade who want to feel confident, organized, and supported throughout the college admissions journey. Whether your student is aiming for the Ivies or just trying to figure out their options, this system helps you stay on track — even if your child isn’t always, well… totally on board (yet!).

The program is flexible, but most students spend 3-10 hours per week on their project.

No problem! We specialize in helping students discover their interests, even if they think they have none. The program starts with guided self-discovery.

The structured framework, weekly coaching calls, and peer accountability make it easy for students to stay engaged.

Yes! Colleges love students who take initiative and build something meaningful. This is a game-changer for applications.

After a student completes my four-day Application and Essay Bootcamp in August before their senior year, they will receive an invitation from one of my Certified Coaches to schedule three Zoom calls. These sessions will help them refine, edit, and finalize the essays they wrote during the Bootcamp. The calls can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for your child. Over the years, I have found that three sessions provide the ideal amount of time to complete everything with the highest level of quality.

I believe strongly in the quality of my program. If you’re not satisfied within the first 60 days, contact me for a full refund, providing a student (and parent) attended the events and did the work.

My program is designed to be flexible. Your child can jump in at any time and receive the guidance they need to succeed.

My coaches are experienced college essay experts, trained in my system for crafting unique, authentic, and standout essays. Each has spent hundreds of hours working with teens, helping students feel even more confident about their submissions.

I host two live workshops per month (one for parents and one for students (different sessions for different grades). I then put on the 4 day live boot camp in August before senior year to get the applications DONE!

Your enrollment fee covers the full program scope for your chosen grade level all the way through the application boot camp before the start of 12th grade. In other words, families only pay once. 11th grade is most expensive because this is where the rubber hits the road, as they say.

Because I was the first in my family to go to college, I know how confusing and overwhelming the process can be. Every family deserves expert guidance, and as a former public school teacher, I love helping students become the best versions of themselves. If I can provide an idea or even a bit of inspiration, I know it can lead to big changes—whether that’s a student believing in themselves more, a parent feeling less stressed, or a family making a better college choice. For those who want more personalized help, I also offer affordable solutions. This website is a way to introduce my approach and personality so you can see if it’s the right fit for you.
