INDEPENDENT EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANTMeet Jackie
Founder & Partner in Your College Journey
“Every student’s path is different. The strategy should be too.”
College admissions doesn't have to feel overwhelming.
Stay true to your own goals, not what others are doing, because finding the right fit for you is what truly matters.
The inspiration behind Perfect for You College Consulting.
Long before becoming a college consultant, I was the carpool mom, the soccer mom, the class mom. And I loved every minute.
Those sidelines and long drives gave me something invaluable: real conversations with students. I learned early that every student has a unique story, and no two paths to success look the same.
I've also sat exactly where you're sitting.
As a mother of two, I lived through the crazy stress of late-night essay edits and the agonizing waiting game for admissions decisions. I founded Perfect For You to serve as an analytical but supportive partner to families on this exciting but emotional journey.
What drives my work is genuine curiosity paired with a methodical approach.
My research background (B.A. in Sociology and M.A. in Applied Social Research) helps me investigate campus cultures, evaluate academic strengths across STEM, business, and humanities majors, and uncover specialized summer opportunities and authentic extracurriculars that matter. For students still discovering their path, I bring patience and clarity.
My commitment is simple.
Finding college environments where your student will feel at home and positioned to thrive — places where both the academics and community align with who they are today and who they wish to become.
Staying current in a rapidly changing admissions landscape.
In addition to non-stop professional training, I regularly visit colleges nationwide, meet with admissions teams, and research evolving academic programs to provide families with the most accurate, up-to-date insights.
