About Regan

I have a long career in college admission and success at the University of California, Berkeley, San Diego, and Davis campuses. My objective as a consultant is to guide students to create applications that are polished, concise, and effective at presenting the student's strengths and character to the people reading the application.

My clients are accepted to colleges and universities all over the country, but I am most useful to students applying to the University of California.

How I Work:

Our first meeting is a free 30-minute conversation via phone, chat, text, or email with you and/or your student. Be prepared with your questions as well as information about the student's academic record, time spent outside of classes, and goals. We discuss services and fees and agree to a next meeting. My approach is flexible to your needs. I can work one-on-one with the student or as a family via most platforms. Fees include my student contact as well as the hours I spend beyond our conversations researching and compiling the information and guidance needed to maximize the student's opportunities.
