College Counseling for Fearless Homeschoolers

Your Homeschool Story Matters.

Here, at Fearless Homeschoolers, I have one mission: to get your homeschooler into a college they love.

I want you to love it, too. Academically, socially, financially.

How do I do it? By working with homeschoolers looking to go through college admissions in an intentional and meaningful way.

I ask teens to uncover who they are and what matters most to them. When that happens, their story leads the way through the college search, the homeschool documents, and the college application.

Your homeschooler’s story matters. And so does finding the college they’ll soon call home.

But There’s More

The college admissions landscape is unpredictable.

It’s not the same as when you and I went through it. There’s an art and science to knowing a student, working with a student, finding and applying to the right schools with the right scholarships, helping craft ideal homeschool documents.

Here’s what I offer:

Professionalism: As a proud member of IECA and PACAC, I uphold their standard of ethics.

Up-to-Date Knowledge: Because I visit dozens of schools a year, I’m familiar with the most current vibes and programs offered at hundreds of schools.

Homeschool-Specifics: I regularly meet with admissions officers and know what they’d like to see from homeschoolers.

Data-Centered: I love digging into industry and college admission data. It helps us make informed decisions.

Recognized in the Industry: I wrote the homeschooling chapter in College Essay Guy’s book, College Admissions Essentials.

A Vast Network: If I don’t have an answer, my wise colleagues around the country certainly do.

Diverse Experiences: I’ve had the honor of working with new homeschoolers, seasoned homeschoolers, students applying to Ivies, students applying to liberal arts colleges, tech schools, and state schools, full pay families, families looking for lots of merit aid, international students, U.S. students living overseas.

Veteran Homeschooler: I know the responsibility you feel, having homeschooled and launched 5 of my own kids into college.

FAQs for the True North Package

How does this work virtually?

I’ve always worked virtually so I have my system down pat. We collaborate via a personalized dashboard. There, we’ll stay on top of deadlines and expectations. We’ll also use Google Docs and Sheets where we’ll share and create everything from essays to homeschool documents.

We’ll also have bi-monthly pillar meetings (video calls or phone calls). Each meeting will focus on a particular topic and set of tasks.

Will you create the homeschool transcript & other documents for me?

When it comes to the counselor documents, I can be as hands off or as hands on as you’d like.

I’m happy to create your transcript as long as you give me the information. I won’t write your course descriptions, school profile, or counselor letter, but you’ll get access to all of my templates and toolkits, and I’ll help you craft and format professional looking documents that reflect your homeschool and homeschooler in a powerful way.

How are you different?

You’re about to go on a personal journey. I do not take my role lightly. You have certain hopes, certain concerns. At every turn, I’ll honor those hopes and concerns.

Yes, I know the steps you need to take like the back of my hand. You won’t overlook anything. But I also know the responsibility you feel. That, I will hold carefully as we create the best high school and find the best colleges for your homeschooler and your family.

Are you affiliated with a professional organization?

Yes! I’m a proud member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and the Pennsylvania Association for College Admission Counseling(PACAC).
