Welcome

COLLEGE COUNSELING

College counseling is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. It is nuanced and specific to each unique student. We work together to refine and reflect students' strengths and genuine interests.

Freshman, senior, or aspiring graduate student. A comprehensive plan, an extra set of eyes, or a process timeline. I tailor my efforts to meet students' individual needs.

Students don't come in packages ~ neither does my help!

About

I founded Write Foot Forward in 2004, fueled by passion for engaging students of all abilities and a desire to help families navigate and demystify the ever-evolving college admissions landscape.

I offer a highly individualized, ethical, affordable approach, and I enthusiastically share my knowledge from 19 years of experience in college counseling. I am a partner, mentor, and student-focused advocate. I support the tireless work of school counselors, independent counselors, and admissions professionals.

I earned a BA in English from the College of William & Mary and spent a decade in corporate human resources, working in employee relations and career development. I reside in Northern Virginia with my family, but I am fortunate to work with students across the country.

I hope we can work together!

Testimonials

Kathy approaches her work with encouragement grounded in realism. She helped our daughter create a perfect college list and present herself with her authentic voice. Importantly, the process was completely our daughter's work. Kathy never tried to change her story or her self-reflection. Our daughter ended up being admitted out of state to UNC Chapel Hill - a school she honestly might not have even considered because it seemed out of reach. I can't recommend Kathy enough, and we'll be back when it's our last daughter's turn!
