“Devon was very helpful in keeping me organized and on task so I made my deadlines. She is very competent in her field, has plenty of resources to contact for job shadows, scholarships, and internships. I gained several valuable experiences outside of college applications.” Katie B. 18
“Devon’s advice on everything from the reputation of schools and specific programs to finding scholarship opportunities, helped cut through the daunting amount of available, sometimes conflicting information. Her practical and thoughtful guidance provided a solid sounding board for our questions and preconceived notions about what’s really important when searching for the right fit. Most importantly, I found that I could be involved with some of the more enjoyable aspects of the college search with my son and leave some of the “heavy lifting” aspects to Devon.”Clem P. Parent
