  • "We are extremely grateful for the expertise Kristen is providing our son throughout the college application process. Her services have been incredibly valuable in keeping our son focused and tracking against deadlines. She is caring, patient, supportive and understanding. Kristen has also helped our son prepare for some of his college interviews, putting him at ease and helping to build his confidence. I knew we had found a gem in Kristen when my son had questions about the college application process and, without hesitation, texted her for advice. Kristen is always available to answer any type of question and address all concerns. Our son trusts Kristen and is comfortable going to her for guidance, advice, and reassurance, relieving stress during an otherwise challenging time. It is wonderful to know that someone else cares about our son's educational future as much as we do."

  • “Having my daughter work with Kristen has been an invaluable investment during her senior year! The college application process can be daunting, and it looks much different than it did when I was a student. Kristen has helped my daughter curate a list of safety, target, and reach schools with strong programs for her desired major. She's given her weekly assignments that are completely manageable with my daughter's school schedule and have her right on track to complete the entire application by the deadline she set for herself. Kristen has encouraged my daughter as she’s guided her so that she feels confident and prepared. Hiring Kristen has allowed my daughter and I to spend her senior year focusing on the fun parts, which has been a gift for both of us.”

  • "We highly, highly recommend Kristen!! Finding KC Consulting was the best thing that happened in our household during the high school years. I wish we'd found her during our kid's freshman year. We're so thankful for all of Kristen's expertise and her friendly working approach. Having a proactive personal guide to meet with was so important for our ADHD student, who felt more in control, on track, and ready for tasks, after every conversation. From the first steps of goal setting, then college list building, through realistic college choices, and the application process, every stage was soooo much easier with us parents out of the nagging role, so we could enjoy the journey. Kristen also pointed us in the right direction to SAT prep tutors and an executive function coach, who were invaluable aids through junior and senior years."
