The College EDvantage Approach: Building Skills for a Successful Life
Based out of Topsfield, MA, I work with students on the North Shore and across the country, supporting both US and international college applications. My student-centered approach puts teens in the driver’s seat—helping them build confidence, take ownership of the process, and grow essential life skills along the way. Whether it’s writing a professional email or setting short-term goals, I offer hands-on support tailored to each student’s needs.
I intentionally keep my practice small to ensure a highly personalized experience—from building a thoughtful college list to crafting compelling, standout applications. Here is how I can help navigate this stressful process:
- College List Creation Find the best-fit schools for your academic and personal goals
- College Essay and Application Coaching Showcase your strengths
- College Interview Preparation Gain confidence in demonstrating interest
- Activities List and Resume Convey your talents and values
Why Choose Me as Your College Admissions Consultant?
I believe college admissions should be about finding the right fit, not just chasing rankings. As a former educator and experienced curriculum designer, I bring a deep understanding of how students learn, grow, and thrive—academically and personally. My approach is centered on helping students discover colleges where they will feel challenged, supported, and inspired.
I work one-on-one with each student to uncover their strengths, values, and goals, and guide them in crafting applications that reflect who they truly are—not just what they’ve achieved. Through every step—from building a balanced college list to developing authentic essays—I provide compassionate, strategic support grounded in experience.
As an active member IECA, HECA, and IACAC, I stay current with evolving admissions trends and ethical best practices, and I’m committed to helping families navigate this process with clarity and confidence.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, student-centered partner in the college journey, I’d be honored to work with you.
”Liz isn’t a cookie cutter coach. Everything is personalized to the student. She works extremely hard and never takes any credit for that but rather focuses on the student’s shine and accomplishments. She was the first person my son texted when he got into college. Worth every single penny.” – Former Parent

How Going Abroad Changed My Life
I did everything right. I took the APs, I studied for my standardized tests, I went to college. And yet, after college, I found myself utterly lost. I had a depressing degree in environmental science and very little hope in the world. I remember being 21 and feeling utterly lost.…
I Became a College Admissions Consultant Because I Hated College.
Ask many independent educational consultants or college counselors how they got into this industry, and they will say “I helped my kids with college applications and then started helping family friends.” Or they’ll share, “I went to Harvard and started marketing to help other kids get into Harvard.” Both responses…
The Real Purpose of the Personal Statement (Hint: It’s Not What You Think)
When students sit down to write their personal statement, most assume they’re supposed to prove something: that they’re impressive enough, smart enough, or that they’ve overcome something big enough to deserve a spot at their dream school.
