Meet Laura — Your College Admissions Insider

Hi, I’m Laura — a 20-year veteran of the college admissions world, a former leader of the largest privately held admissions consulting team in the world, and (most importantly) someone who genuinely cares about making this process less stressful and more empowering for families.

Over the past two decades, I’ve helped thousands of students get into their dream schools — and people paid thousands of dollars for that help. Through strategy, authenticity, and understanding how admissions decisions are really made behind closed doors, I've helped unlock college dreams for families around the world.

I’ve earned my College Counseling Certificate from UCLA, and I’ve worked alongside admissions experts from the most selective institutions in the world. I created College Admissions Unlocked to pull back the curtain on this process — and give families access to the kind of expert guidance that’s usually kept behind a very expensive paywall.

If you're here, it means you want clarity, confidence, and support. My resources are built to help you:

✔️ Understand application strategy
✔️ Maximize extracurriculars and course selection
✔️ Craft a compelling application narrative through powerful, authentic essays
✔️ Build a standout application — without burnout
✔️ Approach the process with purpose and even (dare I say it?) joy

I truly believe every family deserves high-quality admissions guidance — without having to spend thousands to get it. Let’s unlock the process together.
