College paths designed, not discovered

Strategic guidance for multi-passionate students
You don't want your multi-passionate student forced into a single lane. You want them at a college where their varied interests become an advantage.

Great fit colleges discovered

Schools selected and deeply researched for fit and experience alignment

Confidence boosted

Your student embraces their multiple interests as a strength, even a superpower

Organization not overwhelm

Templates, systems and tools that help to keep your family aware and on track

Happy family dinners

I'll nudge and plan ahead so that you can (mostly) stay parent, not taskmaster

Guidance when you need it

Ongoing guidance for decisions that matter, from activity to college selection

Financial realism baked in

A college list aligned to your family's financial reality from its inception

Direction without dead ends

Clarity around next steps and a résumé developed over time with intention

Strategic and student-centered

As a designer and user researcher, I specialized in identifying needs and prototyping solutions. I've adapted these methods to college admissions.

We start with values and goals - clarifying what drives your student and what they're actually good at. This becomes our foundation.

Then deep research - mapping specific classes, research, internships, and activities to reveal where your student's interests align with each college's strengths and values.

Finally, applications - I guide your student as they tell their story with authenticity and craft. We articulating genuine alignment, not manufacturing it.

Extremely supportive and always ready to help me throughout my college application journey. When I was lost and overwhelmed by how to start, Ringae guided me step by step with recommendations and referrals to fly-in programs, college essay guides, and more! Everything was very well organized, and I loved having a personalized document with our meeting notes and a clear action plan that made the process much more manageable.

Ringae was extremely helpful in every stage of my application process. I had no idea what I wanted in a college and Ringae supported me in cultivating a list of fitting schools and she supported me while applying to said schools. She helped me research specific schools that aligned with my major, goals, and needs. Ringae is very detail oriented and has been instrumental in helping me stay organized during my application process. My initial path to college was confusing but thanks to Ringae, I found my way. Go Tritons!
