About

My name is Keelin, and I am excited to help all of you  "find your fit" when it comes to college. I know how stressful of a time this can be so I hope to guide you to make this time a little bit easier.
 This College Admissions Workshop on Finding Your Fit is a virtual 4-week workshop to provide structure and support to build your college list.

Learn how to evaluate colleges across key factors like academics, campus life, location, and cost to find your best matches
Use online tools and resources to research schools thoroughly, looking beyond rankings to discover what makes each unique
Create a balanced list of reach, target, and safety schools that align with your academic profile and preferences
Develop strategies for exploring colleges through virtual tours, campus visits, and conversations with students and staff

I want to help many High Schoolers prepare for the SAT and college. I understand how stressful junior and senior years can be, and if I can help any student navigate that time more efficiently or with less stress, I want to do that.
