Lani’s guidance was instrumental in helping me draft effective essays and learn about the college admissions process. I attribute much of my success to her strong essay editing skills because she was able to help me pinpoint what worked and what didn’t. Lani is a passionate, patient, and driven counselor who deeply cares about each student she works with. Any confusion I had about the process was met with prompt responses and invaluable advice. Above all, Lani made the college admissions process manageable and less stressful because she was so easy to work with.

"Lani made the college process much less stressful. She was always available to proofread my essays and advise me. She was also up to date on the latest information about application trends and deadlines, advising me accordingly. Most of all, Lani was fun and easy to work with."

Ms. Lani was very kind and understanding during my college admissions process. She was open to all my questions and reviewed my applications until it was perfect. She specifically helped me with drafting my college essays and helped me explore the options for my future major/career. My main struggle was living in a rural community with little college advising resources, but Ms. Lani provided me with full support and had no problem taking me under her wing and help me succeed during the college process. Thank you so much Ms. Lani!

Navigating the college application process is nothing like it was when I was a senior in high school. Lani was so helpful in navigating the whole process. From beginning to end, she was calm and extremely well-informed. She asked questions of my student to help them uncover what they were looking for in a school. She also set timelines to make sure that things were submitted before deadlines, avoiding stress and potential “crisis” situations. Her expertise is invaluable!

“Lani was thorough, efficient and most important to me, she was patient. She asked all the right questions, some of which I had never thought to ask my kids.”

“Lani is simply amazing and awesome. Being the first in my family to attend college, the whole process was something that is foreign to me. I am confident that without her guidance, I wouldn't have received acceptance offers from Williams College, Amherst College, UC Berkeley, and UCLA, to name a few.”

Lani is a fantastic college advisor! I'm extremely thankful and delighted that she worked with me. She was really helpful in acclimating me to the collegiate process, which required a lot of patience and dedication. With her essay suggestions. If I had any queries about my financial aid package, college, or the updates to my application, we would interact online. Thanks to her constant collaboration, my college application process was less stressful than I had anticipated.
