“You have been such an incredible help to not only L., but to T. and me. I really don’t know what we would have done without you. I don’t think L. would be so capable and ready to attend USC if you had not come into her life.”

“Bridget was a highly knowledgeable, empathetic and calming influence throughout the entire college application process. She has great insights, down to the atmosphere and curricula at each specific college, which she tailored to my son’s personality and interests. We strongly recommend her as a college coach.”
